I was told by one of the sisters in the Church we used to go and got married at, that once I married Michael K, that I no longer got an opinion, since he was the head of the house, his opinion was the only one that counted, so I should just not worry to tell him how I felt about something.
That didn't last too long though

Oh, it didn't last past the first week. Then I realized my opinion does matter in the marraige.

I should hope so. Otherwise it would be an owner/servant relationship.  :)

Yeah, We had talk and said it was either that way or a Father/Daughter relationship and if he wanted that than fine get it with someone else. I already had a father. But he agreed and said "My opinion mattered to him and He isn't the only one that needed to make choices with only his opinion.

I love my hubby!

I never wanted her to keep her opinions to herself.  As far as I was concerned, we entered the marriage together and the rest of or lives were going to be together, not me with her just tagging along. 

There are only two rules for opinions and making decisions in our marriage;
1.  All decisions will be made mutually with both of us having equal input into the decision (with the exception of minor things, like what clothes to wear, buying routine things, etc.).
2.  If by some chance we can't come to an agreement on a decision, as the head of the house, I will have final say in the best interest of the family (this has only happened twice in 17 years, the first time my decision was right, the second time. . .I should have listened to her).
Move along, nothing to see here.

Awww...Michael, that was one of the nicest posts regarding marriage I've read in a very long time!! Your wife is a blessed lady!

I hope you're teaching younger men those ideas.  :)

Personally, I think that more women would willingly submit to a husband's authority if they knew their opinions were valued. Not that their ideas would always be followed...but that they were genuinely listened to and their views mattered.

ok, I think THAT IS the worst m. advice ever!  Don't they know it gets better and better over the years?  What pressure to make a judgement on a a few times.   :-?

My dad's dating advice to me was, "Don't drive with one hand on the wheel and one hand on your girl. . .let her drive so you can use both hands."
Move along, nothing to see here.

I'm not sure I understand that one but I'm pretty sure I don't want to.  It's too bad that these people didn't quite get the sacredness of such things.

Agreed. That kind of humor isn't funny to me.

I get it... and I thought it was funny

wouldn't advise heeding that sort of "advice"  but I still think it was funny

I guess not... they are too busy just taking test drives
