I love my man as a leader.
I also love that he takes a minute to consider my wants and my feelings.
It shows that he cares for me.
I'm not a robot that just operates on commando.
I feel that I am blessed to have my husband as my man!😊

[angellee]

When we were young his wish was my command . Now we are both a consideration . It takes time and compromise.❤

[lipstickprincess]

I’m sure.
That question doesn’t ruin anyone’s marriage.
Good Lord.

Or evolve and grow as a partnership. That's generally just enabling. If you want a relationship like that, go for it. If trying to communicate with your partner on what they want, and that makes you less of a man, then being a real 'man' isn't worth it.

[fbbWaddell]

Agreed. The best date I ever went on was with a man who planned everything without asking me for help. It didnt work out with him but I definitely raised my standards after him.

[melissameza]

Yes!! I have a visceral reaction to asking me “what are my plans!”

[NEBUKADNECCAR]

It is not about being a gentleman. IT is about parents who decided about everything for him and never let him to be the man.

[gabrielakarl]

We don't like gentle man...we like leaders

[garyvalentine]

Prophets would often ask opinions of followers. Both men & women. I’ve been inviting my wife for 42 years to choose what she would like to do. No problems.

[lovehowdeep]

Yeah I struggle with this as I look at things on a spectrum. Sometimes the man takes the lead and sometimes the woman. The reason I say this is that I have heard several women say the man was controlling and never allowed to have her own opinion. We also put out content on the internet about marriage and we state our opinion but at the end of the day I realize situations are complicated and sometimes we can’t fit things in a nice neat box in relationships.

[me_._.]

So wise. Every man should listen to you.

[saharaleebolo]

I feel this way before, but I learned to adjust, and just accept there are things beyond our control instead of insisting that a certain person should behave a certain way. I don't know what I feel about it now. I still dream about it, sometimes.

[Tealaful]

A man should rarely ask a woman what she wants to do now. Lol I used to hate being asked this by people. Like make a plan and if i have a plan, we can make a plan lol. Just come up with ideas but the man should definitely be comfortable being a leader and taking control of situations and making sure she feels safe and comfortable. Dont make her guess at it. So dont ask too many questions lol

[Jaysthudandblunder]

Made that mistake in my marriage. Divorced and infinitely happier.

[Jessybear]

A man who knows how to take control in a respectful loving way you will find yourself a submissive loyal woman who wants to please you.

[MeTubing]

😂the best lesson is learned by actually being with the correct person in the first place. The incorrect person finds any way out.

[olga-sk]

Women are getting tired of alpha men. Yes, I appreciate a man who asks me what I want to do. It happens that women like to feel that our opinion matters. We are not in the 19th century anymore

[sambraham]

I miss him so much. David Letterman is undoubtedly the best late night show host ever, period. RIP respectful sir ❤

[qthree]

Facts, these women say they want the option to choose but they really don’t

[f.f.mwitchcraft]

"GO MAKE DINER", that's what a real man Would say
