>>>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.

>>I don't know who the women are that you know, but the ones I know are, for the most part, strong, intelligent, and capable of running their own lives. They don't need a substitute for their father; they need a partner to share their lives.
