You have a lot to learn about marriage. It's a relationship of two people, not one, and not a "ruler of a domain" or anything along those lines.


AMEN brother. I'm blessed with that kind of marriage as well, and sometimes I honestly feel bad for people who aren't- especially friends of mine who are literally afraid of their wives most of the time.....just....well...sad.
