Oh Im sure shes earned it.
I see where you're coming from here but I don't see it that way.
When we got married we said some wedding vows, in these vows we promised to do certain things for eachother and to fulfill certain roles in the marriage. We took these very seriously as they were done in the presence of God and many witnesses.
To sum up my vows: To lead my home (not dictator), to care for my wife's needs (physical & emotional), to protect her, as well as the regular death do us part.
To sum up her vows: To submit to my leadership, to take care of my needs (physical hahaha), to be a homemaker.
We are both of equal value in the relationship, I respect her equally, I take her opinion on all things as equal to mine, however, we have different roles. I am the leader, she is my partner.
