You are a smart chick. And I mean that. If it works for you, no one should say a darn thing. But they will

Why do you have to be submissive? I have many friends who are in traditional marriages (SAH with kids while husband works) but they are not submissive, they just take on a different role.

And I just puked. There is nothing traditional about being a submissive woman.

What is a "traditional" marriage? Does that mean you are your husband's property (because that's been the definition of "traditional" for most of human history).

Well, this is just how our marriage is. It's the environment I grew up in, and was my example of what marriage looks like. I was very young when I got married and unsure of how many things in life worked. It was comforting to be with someone who knew how to handle things.

Are you and your DH very religious?

Do you offer opinions on household and childcare matters, or do you more or less agree with everything your DH says?

Well, I guess it is a better than the stripper pole. Girls like you go one way or the other. I do have one question: Who's your Daddy?!

Do you ever get frustrated not being able to make a decision without your husband's approval?

[Anonymous]

Are you planning to raise your kids the same way? Have you thought of the potential drawbacks of doing so?

We're not VERY religious.
I may offer opinions on some things, but usually I'll defer to him if he feels differently. There have only been a few times where I've insisted on things.

What does "submissive, traditional" marriage mean? Does this mean that you do not work outside the home? Does it mean that your husband gets to make all the decisions about everything? Are you allowed to drive a car? Are you allowed to decline sex?

Do you have to ask before spending money?

Do either of you have separate interests or spend time with friends separately?

When's the party?
