    Don't want to take this off topic but would just like to point out that submission to your husband is not "fundamentalist" Christianity. It is a standard part of Christianity which is clearly stated in the Bible. Unfortunately some Christians do choose to ignore this possibly as a result of feminist propaganda. It is no more "fundamentalist" than do not murder, do not steal, do not covet, do not have idols etc.

    Well said, Susan. Some of us live that way, not in a downtrodden under-the-thumb kind of thing, but as a God-given dynamic that makes home life a joy (and believe me, as a former raving feminist who despised men, I never thought I'd say that). And it's not one-sided by any means - the guys cherish us in return. No power struggles or trying to put yourself first, just working together as a team. DH treats me like a princess, and he's not a Christian!
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    If thats the case I'm glad I'm not a christian :( Sorry Wigginsmum I am not having a knock at your religion, but in my religion Men and Women were created as equal and essential partners and no submission or surrendering required anywhere.

    What do you find so unappealing about the submission thing, moggins? Doesn't mean you have to wear Laura Ashley and no make-up or not have an opinion or anything like that ;) But I doubt it would make sense to non-Christians.

    What religion are you, moggins? In Christianity men and woman have the same intrinsic worth - we're both created in the image of God. But God has decreed a home dynamic that really works, and that tends to upset some people ;)

    Granted, some of the uber-romantic fluffy stuff on those sites is a bit OTT.
