Should man rule over women for women’s own good?

[ShaMan]

Lol too bad it's all fantasy and the real reason she's in a place of honor is because she has a husband who loves and respects her. Your lack of desire to dishonor, disrespect, or abuse your wife is because you're a good guy. It's not because god and it's not even because she's submissive to you.

Thank you for your kind words. I agree that "god" is not involved. The formula simply works as prescribed.

As I've said, I think submission can be beautiful and wonderful, but it's a choice. No matter how great you are to her, it wouldn't be right if she felt like she was obligated by god to submit to you even though she didn't want to. It wouldn't be beautiful and she wouldn't be happy. She can say she does it because of her faith, but whatever her reasoning is she does it because she wants to.

Yes, I agree.

Go ahead tell her to do something that crosses her boundaries (without violating her faith) and see how she reacts.

Sadly, I have done so . Her reaction is submission. And wouldn't you know it, her submission is all the power she has ever needed to stem the tide of my former unkindness toward her.
