Or do all women think that the way to a happy marriage is to get the husband to obey her and do what she wants? Is becoming a slave to a wife the only way a man can have peace in the home? All thoughts are welcome and please notice that this is a QUESTION, not a statement in which I am trying to force an opinion on people. I have not stated which one I think is correct, or if either is correct. Very thought-provoking stuff, here.
Please state what country you are from.

I think I understand what you are saying and I think some wives have a tendency to act that way. I
It is not improper to argue with your husband, however. Women do have minds of their own and should be able to discuss problems with their husbands.
Neither should become the others slaves but they should be servants to each other equally. A man can have peace in his home if he is hard working and understanding and chooses a woman that can identify and respect those traits. Sadly, it seems anytime a man does try to be responsible and put in his two cents he is beat down with a feminist idea that he is a brute. Not the case with all women my dear.
Compromise, but don't give in- you will never be respected again.

I am not married, but i do live with my boyfriend. So i hope my opinion counts...
I know a couple of those wives/girlfriends that want their husbands to obay their every want. From what i see of their relationships, they aren't happy. They fight all the time, out in public, when they have company over, any where. I find it disgusting. I do find it ironic that those friends of mine are all the married ones. and the relationships were like that before they said "i do".
My boyfriend and I hardly fight. I ask him for help, and to do things. he does the same though. The one thing we bicker about all the time is who has to get up and make the coffee in the morning (the one still in bed gets a cup brought to them)
Bottom line is that it is possible to have a good relationship with out being a slave, their just has be a compromise and communication in the relationship. and sometimes you just gotta give in to the small stuff. Is a relationship worth loosing over a cup of coffee?
happy new year

United States of America.
I think that neither is correct. It's my personal belief that a happy marriage can be achieved through MUTUAL respect, responsibility and compromise. I think any relationship would benifit if both parties worked together to make it work.
For example, my fiance and I share all of the housework, bills, cooking, etc....It just works better that way :)

Arguments are not wrong they lead to clearing the air the making up bit however if the couple arebawling each other out in front of their kids yes this wrong
No couple is perfect and they willalways argue some point during their relationship the key is not to go to bed angry and not argue in front of the kids or in a public place

If one partner in a marriage wants to be the slave of the other, I guess thats his or her trip. For my part, when I disagree with my husband, we discuss it like adults. Sometimes I persuade him, and sometimes he persuades me. But we both grew up with parents who fought and argued all the time, and we both hated it, so we don't do that.

Arguing with the 'husband' is ABSOLUTELY NOT improper.. Not only is it healthy to have different opinions than him, its healthy for the wife to speak her mind! I'm from BC, Canada

I am a American, and I was always taught that you obey your husband in someways, But in someways you think that their rules are rather silly, and that in that case yes you can argue with them, but When my soon to be husband ask me to try and not spend money i listen to him, but when he tells me to jump off the brroklyn bridge thats when i argue that point

There's a saying that goes, "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." It's true.
