"The Man Is The Head But The Woman Is The Neck That Turns The Head"

In terms of Christianity, I still believe that the man is the head of the household. However, we are a team and listen to each other. If I present an idea that makes more sense than the one he proposed, then we go in my direction.

Agreed 👍👍👍

I read quotes like this and I really wonder how in the world people manage to function like it is still 1850.

Honestly, it screams of misogyny and a failure to understand actual humans, to me.

People in relationships are still full humans. The relationship needs to recognize both as complete human beings, which means both of their needs and wants have to be considered.

Anything else is not a healthy relationship.
It bothers me that there are people out there pushing otherwise, because it pushes toxic and abusive relationship standards.

Got it, thank you for sharing.

I try not to judge. Everyone is entitled to their perspective and will do what works best for their relationship.

Thank you for sharing your perspective.

I know that's accurate for some marriages, and as long as both people are happy, more power to them. We definitely do not follow that quote. I'd say we both take turns being the head and the neck depending on who's better at leading the particular task at hand. There are things he's more practical about and things I am. We'd rather lean to each other's strengths.

We are equal partners in our relationship. We have a very egalitarian relationship. There is not a "head of household" in our home.

I am definitely in the minority here but I say this all the time. Call it the Christian way, old school, whatever. But this does not mean that I just blindly follow my husband and have no say in anything. I just think it means that in big decisions, he is kind of the tipping point of the scale. But I know he has both of our best interests, as well as our family's best interest at heart. I wouldn't be marrying him if I thought differently.

I think that my husband and I also take turns.

Thank you for teaching me a new term!

Agreed 👍👍👍

I completely understand your perspective, you have very valid points.

Yes, she mentioned that's where she got the quote from. I've never seen the movie.
