@xtina,i agree. The concept of submission in today's age has become more challenging as women's earning power continues to increase. Given that a man expects to be higher than the woman in every respect then he also expects it where finances are concerned. When the wife earns more than him,he feels threatened and any issue is blown out of proportion; ' you're not a submissive wife!' he'll say ' or is it because you earn more than i do?' he'll add. Some men will demand that their wives submit they're entire salary to them so that they can feel dominant or in control

@Kasheshi my dearest,The marriage institution is priceless and the rules are clear'' so do not attach some commercial value on it.

Hey'' did ever hear of a lady called Thatcher? well she was the Prime -Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. One day Dennis who happened to be her hubby called while she was chairing a cabinet meeting and below is how the conversation went.

''Honey'' what time is diner? am starving'' she had to end the meeting and attend to Dennis's immediate needs. That is how priceless this institution should be. Some things,the rules do not change either with time or technology and marriage is one of them,the others being diplomancy and prostitution.

@ Xtina,i hope you have that book ( Happy Valley) im dying to lay hands on it. Been to all bookshops and cant find it.

This morning Maina Kageni was still at it,a woman called in and and lay her heart out and confessed to having bought her hubby a car,practically built the house they live in and the leech went ahead and confessed to her that he laid the maid and screwed her niece. She is still wondering what to do !

I honestly think its the woman with a problem,we are put under a york in the name of 'submission'.


The Hedonist

@mukiha (once again!) provided a pretty sober answer even for people who may not necessarily believe in the bible. Everyone plays their part and you will have no problem. It is not as complex as we sometimes paint it to be.

In a nutshell,a man must be sensitive to her needs esp. emotional while the woman should be considerate of the guy's ego. It's as simple as that for me. Either party doesn't do that and there will be chaos. Humanity has greatly advanced over the millenia but there are certain innate xtics of men and women that do not change.

However,both must cut to the chase and agree on certain difficult but necessary rules b4 the big leap esp. nowadays.

That said,you cannot word-for-word replicate the dynamics of one relationship directly onto another...people are different and this has to be taken into consideration.

@ Mukiha

Please correct your second sentence. I'm sure it should read a Covenant for those who do trust each other.
