Agreed.

I don't mind and I do it, but I'm also single. She is aking if the man should be the head of the HOUSEHOLD, as in a couple.

You notice only one woman is giving a true answer. The other two are concentrating on oil changes

But mac if you and i were sharing chores . There would be things that I would do that you would never have to touch .. if you wanted oil duty and car maintenance .. you would not have to help with laundry ... the chores should be split has equaly has time allows .. and if both parties are working a lot then a maid service should be used to give people more time with family .. just some of my thoughts

That person who I replied to made a statement that men usually change the oil in a vehicle and I was saying no I can do it myself with or without a man in my life.

Your question was not concerning chores, or oil changes. It was about if the man should be the head of the household.

Thank you

and I stated my take on it .. biblical submission is what i believe in .. I am not debating what I think .. I am curious what others think...

biblical submission. Love, Honor, and Obey.

When I still had my car I changed it every 3000 miles...
I also know how to do plumbing, construction, etc...
Your point???

Man and woman are help mates of each other... they should give and recieve of each other equally...

I think most of us get that.
Running a household takes all hands.. and all talents that apply. Especially in todays households which are typically multi-income.
My Mom was for the most part, a stay home Mom... Dad worked. All decisions that pertained to the house and the raising of children were primarily hers. My Dad just tended to be a wrench tossed in a perfectly working machine when ever he came home and asserted his will.

I would imagine that the life style they chose when I was growing up is pretty unrealistic for todays world. If we are both pursuing careers.. We both share the running of the household. We both share in the decision and responsibility of those decisions.

Heres a nice pat on the back

Well.... I'm going to have to say yes, partly.

For tax purposes we'd have to see what the pros and cons were, so to speak.

But would I mind giving up some control? At first, probably I would. It's not all about me, though. I've been in a relationship where I was forced to be head of household and I resented it.

In the long run I think I'd be a happier person if I gave some of my current control over to a person I trusted, loved, and respected....

Sounds fair to me, Shoes.

Yes but you have to always remember that before the obey part and the vows that the man takes are ... to put her best interest before his and to basically be willing to lay down his life for his family ... I can get my bible if you need the passages

As long as it didnt cost$$$ too much

And the man shall treat the woman as a "Church"...
Love, honor, and obey goes both ways!

That makes no sense.

You dont need your Bible.A woman is going to make sure that eveyday of that mans life he knows that part
