I've found that that is generally the way to go. :D

Besides the obvious, (respect, dignity, etc)... a man should be willing to protect their woman and comfort her in times of distress. Even if he doesn't have the right words to say, I suppose being there at her side, to listen and try to understand her problems, is the way to go.

I'm not interested in being subordinate to a man, so it's a good thing that I'm not interested in marriage. :smokey:

So? Answer anyway and deal with it ;)

If you can't take the heat... go sit on the couch with a remote.

Like sisters in Christ.

Like our own sibling sisters. I have to think "Is the way I'm treating my girlfriend how I would want a guy to treat my own sister?"

And I'm a bit more on the egalitarian side of looking at the relationship between men and women in terms of who's the head. For me, I see relationships between a man and a woman (in terms of marriage) as being a team yet I still think the guy has some form of leadership (e.g. asking the girl out in the first place and being the leader of the relationship dance).

So when I'm with my girlfriend and we need to make a decision, I always ask her for her input because I value what she has to say, but she and I both agreed that I have to be the one that "leads"

If you study a little bit of John Paul II's Theology of the Body (I recommend the short 'n easy study guide by Mary Healy), you'll find out there's a flip side to "Wives, be subordinate to your husbands" that JPII taught. The Scriptural context of that verse should make it pretty obvious, but it's cool to learn about it from someone who lived in our day and age too.

Of course, if you are a Christian, you are subordinate to the man Jesus Christ, and you should be very interested in marriage because the Church is married to Christ, giving our bodies to Him as He gives His Body to us. :cool:

As for the sacrament of Marriage (and I know that's what you were referring to), that's up to you :)

There's just one thing for me that REALLY gets on my nerves (ok... more than one thing, but this one seems to send me to a complete downward spiral about how awful and disgusting men are- which actually gets really bad for me- cuz I don't really have an y guy friends to remind me that it isn't true anymore. lol.)

Anywho: PLEASE do not look at my chest while you are speaking to me. Or while you are speaking to my aunt...

In the real work world you will be subordinate to many different people, men and women, so get used to it now.There is nothing wrong with being subordinate to a good husband, as long as you do a good job of picking him. Generally the woman runs the household, its this domain the man is subordinate to the woman. :). In a good marriage you are both busy taking care of each other, that you forget to worry about " who is in charge."
