• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

When I said completely dependent, I didn't mean just in the monetary aspect, I mean as in the wife won't even make her own decisions or tell her children what to do "without her husbands approval".

Having grown up in Texas around several Southern Baptists and having seen a few posts from certain people on these boards this is their idea of the perfect wife i.e. "submit to the husband in all things."

A good man will never ask his wife to do anything dishonourable.
so we should just fall in love with a good man.

Or, every person, male or female, could rely on themselves to not do anything dishonourable and not care about what other people say. And fall in love with a good person. That part sounds good. But you can't always control who you love:(

Since the OP is prima facie silly, a semantic nitpick: Meat can be contaminated but not diseased. A disease is an affliction unique to living things.
she meant living things (diseased meat-naughty women)

Well when I think of 'diseased meat' I think of parasites and the "stay at home mother" reminds me of parasites (umm, no offence?). :sorry:
:eek:

Childcare and housekeeping services are quite expensive:hug:

My husband has never had to play the "wife, submit" card. He much prefers to tell me the "whys and wherefores" of his opinion and listen to mine. We've never, since marriage, had a disagreement we couldn't reason out of. Hubby's also never felt disrespected by me in these situations, nor have I felt trodden on, nor have we had a knock-down-drag-out fight.
While I believe I should submit should we come to an impasse, it hasn't happened in 8 years of marriage.
