Looking back on my childhood, I see how my mother and father made their marriage works all these years... They worked together.. They both worked full time... My father helped my mother with dishes.... It wasn't a strange sight to see my father vacuuming....2-3 times a day... They never fought... If you heard my father talk about women, you would think he didn't think they had any sense at all! lol I've heard my father say that the country started downhill when women were allowed to vote... but you let my father see a man mistreat his wife and see what happens... If he sees a man "demand" his wife do this or do that, he has his say-so about it.... and at the same time, he'll say women don't need to be behind the wheel of a car... lol... but he has the up most respect for my mother...
It's not about what you say, but what you do...
For years I listened to a preacher teach us about how men ought to treat their wives.... with such respect and so forth.... we went out to dinner with them and I heard part of their conversation that ended with, "you just take your place as a woman and keep your mouth shut"... well, I started laughing and started to make a joke about it .... but then I saw that he wasn't joking... so much for all that teaching.......
My husband is the most incredible! We don't fight... although I try to... In the 15 years we've known each other, we've never yelled and screamed at each other.... My parents never did and I would not have dated a guy that treated me disrespectful... nor would my father let me
