When people talk about equality they're almost always talking about equal rights and opportunities, so that argument of yours is just irrelevant. Marriage is a democracy, someone doesn't have to back down, you're supposed to compromise. Even if someone does have to back down occasionally, it shouldn't always be the same person. And you can't really use the claim that because "arguments are few and far between" that it's therefore a great marriage, when the reason that arguments are few and far between is because you don't even consider your arguments as worthy. Just because you're submitting your point of view into an argument doesn't mean it has to be a hostile argument. By refusing to argue your own points as equal to his just because you're afraid of starting a big argument, you're just letting yourself down.
I do consider my arguments worthy, that is the very reason we have the occasional argument, but as I have previously stated someone has to make the final decision. I am happy to let my husband be that person, maybe you consider that wrong and maybe you feel you could not live that way. But I have been married over 20 years and we are both happy, so be it right or wrong it seems to be working quite well.
IIN to have old fashioned views about male and female roles
