Candace Cameron Bure /submissive wife

@Blondie123 some people are just too dense to realize how contradicting they can sound sometimes.

Someone make me a sandwich.

It isn't about being not as good as men or less of a woman it's about realizing that as the husband he is the head. It's not a "what I say goes" situation where a woman's opinion doesn't matter it's talking about it and trusting the man to make the best decision. Like some have said, if you aren't religious or don't believe in God than no you probably won't understand but in the Bible it says several times that the man is the head of the woman and by trying to carry that out several couples I know have have very successful marriages and have been through some things that most people would have called it quits because of.

Read the passage for yourself. It says all of that in there. It is difficult to explain theology, and I am not a teacher. Although some people might just be too condescending and narrow minded to deal with it. (That was not directed at you, blondie123).

And at that, I will not be checking on this thread anymore. I am very disappointed that some of you adults have resorted to judgment and being so closed minded that you dismiss those of us who believe in submitting to our husband as "weak" or dumb. I will pray for you. Even if you don't believe in it, it still works. We don't all have to believe in the same thing, but respect goes a long way. Have a nice day, ladies.

Round and Round and Round we go!

Ps not dismissing anyone who chooses to live like this. I'm judging the people that try telling me what I know, putting words in my mouth, and classifying me as someone who I am not. And even if you do believe in it, it still works the other way too.

And if someone is making Andrea one, I like turkey.

Believing in God and having religion can be and are mutually exclusive and I expect those who are religious to understand that.

I believe in God.

I do not believe in religion because religion was created by man.

Therefore...

I just don't understand this whole, "no, no, we're equal. But he's still the head of the household." Um, ok. I guess if the only way I'll get it is to subscribe to the faith, it can remain a mystery. FH and I really ARE equals - there's no "head of the household." Compromise does not have to take the form of submission.

No, if you want to tell me that I'm dense and contradicting them you are condescending. If you can't hear what other people are saying, that makes you narrow minded. Is it fine to disagree? Of course. Is it fine to say that half of the ladies on here are completely wrong? No

It's like this: If you get 50% of the vote and he get's 50% of the vote what do you do when you can't come to a compromise? just not make a decision at all? at some point someone has to SUBMIT and the other have the final decision sometimes. I'm not saying for everyone that HAS to be the man I'm simply saying that for me as a religious person it is the man.

I can't hear anything on here, its the internet. duh

Perhaps you ladies should check in with your FHs to see how to more effectively state your opinions on this subject. :/

@Andrealily - no, you make me a sammich!

But it's only because you make such lovely sandwiches dear.

I think it's fine to say half the ladies are wrong. I think it's fine to say the other half are wrong. It's an opinion, not absolute. People have opinions and disagree, that's a part of life.

Choose how you want to react to it.

What about same sex households?

:Gasp:

mind blown.

ETA: I think this is no longer productive. What appears to work for some couples may not for others and vice versa. My forehead has submitted to a brick wall. I must go put a warm compress on it. :-)

Ab beat me to it. Glad I wasn't the one to bring that up! lol

So basically the word "submissive" is what is pissing everybody off. Why would ANYBODY care what someone does in THEIR OWN MARRIAGE!!??

If I decide to be submissive or not why would any of you care?? It's a shame that name calling has happened on this thread b/c at the end of the day it's not YOUR marriage anyway

Pretty sure the Bible says same sex households just burst into flames.

AB- what was the point in bringing up same sex households??
