Many women/men seem to be submissive to their partner but I wonder the rate of divorce today!!!

I don't really understand this question/comment.

??? Read it 3 times.... still drew a ???

Here. Try using this.

OK. That doesn't help. lol

Ok I will split this one up into two parts...
Well if it works why not... And to what degree are you talking about here. Are you as an outsider looking in see give and take and think it is submissive?

Some would think in a relationship I am a bit submissive and that couldn't be farther from the truth.



If one is truly submissive this should have no bearing on the current statistic's reported.

Without more to go on to narrow this down a bit to where you are taking it Best I can do ..


thanks DAVID for the decoder ring

firstly you might be using the word submissive when you mean - agreeable.

Married people should have a purpose to be agreeable to each other if it is at all possible.

Being submissive is really having no say in the matter at all - just doing what you are told to do.

Divorce comes about for a lot of reasons but if you think that being agreeable means they should be happy forever - you are only seeing what they allow you to see.

Lots of things go on behind closed doors.

*** just my opinion ***

I call it give and take in a relationship, but when one is always the giver (me) and the other is always the taker (ex-wife), although she really convinced herself she was a giver as well, then I would say the divorce rate is 100%. Again, at least in my case. I don't know how many times I was told, "Just buy me this one thing, and I'll never ask for anything else", lies.

Ya mean as in " wives submit unto your husband"
Get.da **** outta here wit dat kind of sheet

perhaps the trouble isnt simply about submission

25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.[a] 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body.



there may be submissive wives, but even then, if they do not have a husband who loves them as 'christ loved the church',, there is more potential towards a divorce

Amen.sister

Now that I'm older and wiser, compromise trumps submissiveness and divorce...

I respect the woman with whom I may reside sometime in the future as in the past...(been on my own for ten years now. A very good friend lives in Germany....I would do anything to have her come over here to Canada but I can see she has a wonderful life there...torn

I don't understand this post. But after reading your profile I don't think English is your first language or your not American.
Maybe if you elaborate, someone will understand Good luck.

Well, I know a divorced man who is really dominant. Not always a good thing, though. He starts calling his ex wife horrid names, and the rest of us just roll our eyes in disgust at the whole thing. Other than that, he's okay to be around.
