Why do wives do everything their told by their husbands?

not in my house! my hubby and i discuss things and like you mentioned, everything gets done 50-50.

Yes it should always be 50/50. Both should always give first and then each will receive from each other.

There are far too many people out there who believe that men should lead, and women should follow. Thankfully my husband and I are not like them, and don't believe in this. We walk together, side by side, like two horses pulling a cart. No one leads, no one follows. No one changed their name when we got married.

I think that some wives are just like that. Some wives want to do everything for their husbands. I'm not one of them though. I don't personally understand why some wives would do this, but some are just like that. I do think that it should be 50/50. This is the way between me and my husband. It is 50/50. And I think that it's a really good arrangement.

i think as a wife its their duty or obligation to do something for their husbands that helps them, and husband duty should be in office and wife in kitchen and thay both are equally doing hardwork, and i think that is 50 50 to say. a wife should not take husbands word for orders nor the husband should think his wife as a tool. both are living things that should be sharing everything equally and specially there is a bond of marriage between them that cant be parted with so i think they should live and share and accept situations with eachothers permission

Yes you are partly right that it should be a 50-50. The role of a wife is to serve her husband and take care of the kids and the household. The husband should be the one earning for the family. If it happened to be the wife who is being a breadwinner then definitely the man doesn't have the right to command the wife in doing all this and that. It is an unconditional love that should be dwelling between the two of them and the wife should be responsible enough to do the things she supposed to do. So that any other task that is being asked by the husband are already done before being told to do so.

they do??? My wife won't do a damn thing I tell her to do...it is to the point that I don't try to depend on her to do anything...

Hi! I think the relationship of husband and wife should be that of a union that completes each other or complements each other and make them grow in all aspects, not stunt each other's growth. Basically, a woman becomes subservient when she is dependent on the husband economically, like when she stays at home and no income of her own. It is regrettable for the wife to stay at home and do the domestics especially when she went to all the trouble of getting an educational degree. I find a waste of talent and potentials that could have benefitted the family. Cheers.

Hi It is not servant and master, It is coordination and cooperation between wife and husband. Yes you are right they should be 50:50 When wife asks something husband should obey and do it in the same way wife should do it. It is a way expressing love,concern and care towards the other. I do what my wife needs and in the same way she does for me the things which I need, It is understanding and friendly relation. Me and my wife believe in this and we are happily living since 9 years, If You differ with my opinion please don't take it personally. Happy Living. Calpro

I was having the same discussion with my mom about an hour ago. I told her that many men are dying prematurely, and whenever I read articles on CNN, there are so many deaths resulting from murders and old age. Well, her answer was that men are lazy and don't do much stuff, and thats why there at risk for dying earlier than women. Since I'm a man, I want to prevent this from happening, even if it be doing stuff for my wife. I've even figured that I'll take a more positive role within the house.

Hello JazzMina. In some countries, their culture is for the wife to submit to their husbands, it's also indicated in some religious beliefs. For me though, I think it is important for the wives to be submissive to their husbands however, there should be limitations. In our age today, not all men bring home the bacon to their homes, meaning, women are now working as well to meet all ends, thus, there is a need for Respect between the husbands and wives. Cheers!

Jazz, this 50 50 relationship is not true always, especially among the educationally backward areas of the world. Till now they do believe in old tradition. Most off them are not well understood "what is the meaning of marriage"? Jazz, now a days some women also want that their husband should dominate them and which makes them happy also.
