Is it normal to have old fashioned views about male and female roles
I believe as the man my husband is head of the house and it is my duty to love, honour and obey him. In return it is his duty to love, protect and provide for both of us. This does not mean I don't work, appart from when the children were young l have always worked, all be it part time and this has provided us with a better lifestyle, holidays etc. But he is in charge, I have my opinions which I share with him and even argue on occasions but ultimately when he says he will not discuss something any further he is in charge and I go along with his wishes. I also do not expect him to get involved with household chores. I am happy to serve him I believe that is a woman's role in life, it worked for our ancestors and we have had a happy marriage for over 20 years. I wonder if more marriages worked this way if we would have a more contented society.
