Sam,

>Good. I agree completely. Where did I say that the husband should be the "boss"?<

Um, when you said:

>I think women still seek men who can take the lead and make choices and decisions.<

and

>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.<

That doesn't sound anything like a "partner", as Tamar was saying.

>>>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".

>>Again, I may be different, but I want a partner, not a boss. My husband and I discuss things and make choices that work for both of us. When we disagree, generally the one who feels more strongly about the issue prevails.
