Husbands- what is it about having a submissive wife that's appealing? What do you find challenging about it?

Hi OP. DH here. I have been married twice. The ex was American and not submissive at all. It did not last. DW is from overseas. She grew up in Asia with a more traditional view of gender roles. She is highly accomplished and educated yet as a family we subscribe to more of the power dynamic that you describe. It has worked really well for both of us over the last 10 years. the one thing that does frustrate me sometimes she has a hard time articulating what she wants.

I just wanted to share this to make the point that not every relationship is 50/50.[/quote]
As an Asian woman, may I just say ewww.  Asian woman are not submissive. But they are willing to make compromises for the sake of the family.

PS... she has a hard time articulating what she wants because she is passive aggressive.  That's how Asian women like to make you think you make all the decisions.[/quote]

I'd hope that [i]everybody [/i]-- men and women -- would be willing to compromise for the sake of the family. THAT is what makes a strong marriage and family. Sometimes DH takes the lead. Sometimes DW. I appreciate when my husband has expertise in areas I don't, and I think he appreciates and defers to my expertise as appropriate.

If somebody really took the submissive stance all of the time it would be easy to exploit that. It would take an exceptional partner to take everybody's needs into consideration.
