Do you believe that a marriage should be democratic .......?

Question

or should the man be the leader & the woman his helper as mentioned in the Bible...?

Answer 1

well, different people have different beliefs. But for me, I 'd rather the two be in charge and help out each other in marriage.  

Answer 2

Yes ofcource it should be Democratic always man and Woman the same Why should the Woman be higher or the man higher ?

Also the bible stated it from 2000 years we are a Democratic country not like some arab countries that still  are holding some stupid laws Take care

Answer 3

Of course I believe that the man should always have the last words:

"Yes, ma'am!"

Answer 4

Usually the woman always wins, her wish is the man's command...or else...no 'ahem"

Answer 5

Democratic; the Bible said the man is the head, the woman the heart; how can head go with no heart and heart with no head, so it's democratic.

I am no inferior to any man so it'd better not be the way u said the Bible has said it is!

Answer 6

It depends, in my marriage I believe that Mr Webby should always listen to me and do exactly what I say.

Answer 7

Democracy??? Is marriage a political stuff???

Anyways...in some cultures women havent neither voice nor vote, but in our, and since women share the reponsibility to provide not only house work but money from their jobs too.....we are the 50 % in a house/family. and many times much more than only 50%

Bible mentioned that..2000 years ago....times have changed!!

Answer 8

Yes of course !

Answer 9

No, it shouldn't be democratic, but rather based on a mutual understanding on how to do things. And respect and willingness to listen to each other.

So basically a marriage should be as frictionless as reasonably possible. If it really was democratic, what would you do in situations where each 'vote' differently? Votes would be divided 50/50.

Answer 10

I don't believe that a woman should be labeled as the house-care-taker...."holder of the broom"..etc

I think a marriage should have some form of equality/democracy in order to remain healthy...especially in matters of children and wealth related issues.

At the same time, I think the husband should hold (or at least play the part) of the "protector" sometimes in order to provide a feeling of security to the wife...

So in esence, I suggest an "Indirect Democracy"...like in the States ;p

Answer 11

He can wear the trousers, so long as I can advise him of which ones to wear- works well in most instances :-)  

Answer 12

A good partnership with equal rights

Answer 13

Everybody has their own roles in a family.

There is no democracy or dictatorship... do your part and thats it.

Answer 14

Proverbs 31, explains the answer to this question.  

We should be submissive to each other and speak only of the good within a person, for it is who you have to live with, not what you have to live with.  

External Beauty comes and goes, but Internal Beauty is forever.  Look within others and you will find the person who matches you step for step.  I hope all do like Jesus did, and look internal for that is where real beauty resides!  

A marriage should be based on love, trust, respect, honor, dignity and many other things between two people but make sure that God is there to bond the marriage together, for one plus one plus God is Infinite!

Much Love

Me

Always
