There is a new woman's movement under way. I like this one. I found this article from 60 Minutes (Aussie version). I there anyone else here with this kind of relationship besides me?

The link is fitting for this group, one of the wives shaves her husbands head (after she bathes him)

To be honest I don't consider that a relationship at all.
Just earing the teaching of the mother to that 2 year old makes me sick.
what she should be teaching is Honesty, respect, love, and to be herself ( 1 individual ).

having someone submitted to you and actually write down laws, and what to do and not just to Please him.

 

a relationship is a bond, love, partnership. A wife should not be a slave. you live in the house get ass up from the lazyboy and help around the house and with the kids.

I totally agree with you danyroo,

That article is a tiny bit scary!

Having a wife that stay home and keeps the traditional values is one thing, but I could never be married to a woman who didn't have the fire and spirit to stand up for herself.

Keep in mind the article in the media; they look for the most sensational stories. Yes, our home is run is a similar manner, but it would be too boring to make this story.

This is a common thought with men. Actually it is the women that wants this kind of relationship, but are afraid to mention this to their husbands. It is mostly the women who seek out this. They need more structure in their lives. It is difficult for men to understand the female mind (understatement here!)

I don't know my wife enjoys what she does, but I like it. This is something she wanted, and it healed our marriage 6 years ago.

...but I could never be married to a woman who didn't have the fire and spirit to stand up for herself.

Who says they don't? My wife is very strong willed, and outspoken. I value her input. That's her personality and it's what makes her fun to be with.

i see what you're saying CM. maybe in the article they made it seem more extreme (for lack of a better term) than it really is. if this type of relationship is what makes you guys happy, then i say great. as for me and my wife, that would not work. and just cause it would not work for me, i would never dream of blasting you or your lady. nobody else should do that either. hell you don't dish on us for living differently than you. i guess what i am saying is "glad yall are happy. it just ain't for me." although i do want to hear more about it.

Meant no offense Challenge...video just presented women that seemed so subserviant.   If this is a relationship that works, (and it does for some of my friends) then that is all that matters.  The strength of the relationship, not how it is achieved is what is important.  Balance and mutual respect are what counts

[danyroo]

Did not want to offend anyone either. it's just the way the video was presented........ while I was writting my reply it was not pointed to anyone.. but the video..

so sorry if I did offend you CM............or anyone else on the site.

some say I'm a siss cause I prepare diner for my wife and daugter every night, I vacuum, I dust the living room and computer room ... and so on.......................my reply is I'm only doing my part.

I've met a plethura of people who practice different lifestyles. As long as the woman isn't be forced into that type of servitude, I don't see it as a problem. If 2 consenting adults agree to live a certian way and It works for them, More power to them. I've met chics like challenge is talking about, who are seriously not happy unless they are being controlled.

[YOSP]

to each his own...judge not yet ye be judged (or something like that), I agree with BF about the point of " As long as the woman isn't be forced into that type of servitude". Though in this day and age women are trying to even the surface in somethings, so as long as you and your significant other are happy, than it is no one else's business.

my fiance' is Korean and in her culture the men come first at the dinner table, sit in the front seat of the car, etc. but when I am with them eating I always get yelled at because I will get up and put the dishes away and set the table if need be. I think some of the men get mad because their wives like the change...but its nothing against them or how their culture, I was raised to be that way as their have been raised. Unfortunately, my future wife doesn't follow the culture as much    

[shyslyguy]

CM, If it makes you & your wife happy then that's fine, of course. 

All power to the both of you

(do you ever swap roles for a week? ....  might prove interesting!) 

[nomad]

very interesting!?!?

to each there own.
