I think it would be interesting to do a poll about general relationship between a man and woman. I think the majority of the woman would love for the man to take the lead most of the time with family issues. Don't know about churches, but I guess it would apply there too.

I think women still seek men who can take the lead and make choices and decisions. I think they want a MAN, not a feminized man created by Hollywood and the so called "women's movement".

I don't think women necessarily want to make decisions, but they would like to be informed with what is going on so they won't be "surprised" when something happens.

This doesn't mean they want an overbearing, insensitive buffoon.

Just my general opinion.
