I like a man, who knows how to handle things but he also knows how to compromise on things . I agree with this wholeheartedly ! very simple and true

Being "take charge", is all fine and dandy. But without the input of the partner's feelings and opinions... It'd be like leading around someone who has the intellectual capacity of 'potato'.

As far as I am concerned, women need to be taken care of in marriage, because women rely on their husbands, men need to be responsible for famlily and I think taking charge is basis of marriage.

I agree with this, for my personally, that this is how family probably should best work. BUT, that means men have to be RESPONSIBLE and DEPENDABLE, and that the husband should ALSO be able to 'rely' on the wife, as they should,IMHO, be two parts of one working unit, each that complement the other, instead of compete.

It was an equal partnership. Your views are very old fashioned. I agree delightful - I don't need a man to "take care of me" I want a partnership with someone who views woman as being equal to men - they are out there - however, they can be card to find !

I think each person takes charge depending on the situation. Chores should be agreed upon. Men want to be respected, admired, and sex. Women want to be heard, appreciated, and help when they ask. And that's just for starters. We need to get out of our own heads and care about our partners feelings and thoughts. Just my opinion.

The basis of a marriage is a parntership and the couple should take care of each other. Perhaps that is why many fail, because one party falls short of that commitment.

In contrast to my earlier post in this thread, I once had a very bossy girlfriend who always wanted her way, (I must be the only one). So after a while and without telling her, I began an experiment of always doing what she wanted, without suggestions or opposition or argument. After a few weeks she got bored with herself, got angry with me, and wanted me to argue and have alternatives. A bit of the taming of the shrew. In a relationship let the most suited do oversight and guidance and responsibility. Eg. Gambling addicts do not pay the bills and rent. A small frail woman should be in charge, over a knuckle dragging lummox.
