Reply #7: I heard this at both of my brother's weddings.

I will not attend another Baptist wedding because of it. At both weddings the preachers went on and on about how the wife was supposed to be submissive to the husband.

The hell of it is is that both of my brothers married domineering and manipulative women that rule the roost. One orders my eldest younger brother around like a child...he waits on her hand and foot, and she is completely mental and exhausting to be around. My other brother's wife has not worked A SINGLE DAY since he met her (she is in her mid-twenties) yet runs his bills through the ceiling. He is at the point of having the phone and cable turned of for lack of funds. She went out and bought a brand new car and 'gave' him her over ten years old previous car...he makes the payments on the brand new one, of course, since she has zero income, and she even 'lets' him drive it occasionally. The whole thing is a complete racket, but I guess they are okay with it since their wives are 'submissive'.

I think this is par for the course of the kind of dishonesty you get in a marriage with bullshit preachy rules like this. My brothers are both incredible people; softspoken, hard-working, and faithful to a fault, just the kind women like this would be on the lookout to work over.
