No. What I was saying was there will be times when one does not agree with the other. In such cases, it will be difficult for the man to make the contrary decision to that of his wife because he loves her and wants to please her. At the same time he must do what is best for his family despite the conflict of opinions. Doing what is best for his wife and her family at the end of the day is more important than giving into short term individual whims at the beginning of the day. This can be a difficult choice for the husband especially if he is not 100% certain that he is making the right decision. If he loves his wife, however, he will listen to her and respect her feelings and wisdom on the matter when making the decision.

So the wishes of the woman are individual whims, while the wishes of the man are for the best of the family? And it's still the man who makes the decision, so you are still contradicting yourself.

whodey: Doing what is best for his wife and her family at the end of the day is more important than giving into short term individual whims at the beginning of the day.
So the wife's opinions are "short term individual whims" if they conflict with her Lord and Master husband's? You really are an unpleasant throwback.
EDIT: Noodles beat me by a hair.😞 Disobedient shrew.

I feel as though I am being stereotyped here. I am in no way a controlling type of person and have never been accused of the things I am being accused of here. Looking back at my posts I can see how people might get the wrong impression. As far as my wife goes lets just say that she has a strong personality and is very much her own person. She would never stand for being controlled by an abusive type of personality.

Is she pretty hot? I'm wondering if you have to kind of compensate for mens lookin at her. It's been known to happen.

I didn't say you were abusive. But it's not an equal partnership, as you say yourself. And your attempts to explain why the partnership can't be equal didn't sound like you really respect her (or a woman in a partnership in general) as an equal either.
