Should the Husband be the head of the household
This one is special just for 4real. Within Christianity this debate is between complementarians and egalitarians, Outside the the church it is the debate over gender roles. The question pertains to what works best to make a marriage and a family successful.
Three rules.
-no moronic disruptions saying "well what about homosexuals."
-no more debating the existence of God.
-no links to zophilia crap.

Men were here first. women cant control me with that gender equality nonsensical crap! Women were put on God's green earth to assist the man with the cooking and cleaning, not grip them by the cahoonas and squeeze tight. As to the idea that two heads are better than one: all that is saying is that men are better by default. Check mate feminists...checkmate Side: Yes, that is best

The way to argue this would not be to see whether a man or a woman is a better leader or which of the two are more capable. We need to focus on the scenario of the current world and come to a conclusion. Regardless of when or where this debate is to be situated in, men are the ones with more and better jobs than women. This only proves that men have more working experience and that they come across a lot of important decisions at work that make them better decision-makers. The skills learnt at office and the experiences one has at work can be easily used to solve financial and social problems at home. Managing tasks and people can be learnt hands on from work, and the same can be applied at home. In this respect men will tend to be better. Yes, it is wrong how men get more opportunities outside home. But that just makes them more deserving and prolific at managing things inside the home too. Side: Yes, that is best

I'm in favor of equality in the sense that gender should not be a factor in determining who is 'in charge.' This does not mean that all members of a relationship are equally weighing in on everything, mind you. This does not even necessarily mean that the two (or more) balance out to be equal with each taking the lead in different things. In those situations where one member of a relationship is better suited for, due to a combination of aptitude, experience, availalble time/effort and attitude, the best suited member should take the lead- but still accepting and considering input from the other member(s). In those situations in which more than one member of a relationship is well-suited, the decisions should be shared (if a polyamorous relationship, input from the less suited member(s) should still be accepted and considered). This does not mean equality within relationships; true equality in this model would still be a rarity. In most cases, one partner or another will be the best suited to a majority of the situations they could encounter. In some (rare!) cases, this might even mean that one person is responsible for everything! Actual ability should be the determining factor for who takes the lead in any given situation. All things being equal, men will generally be better suited to some tasks, and women will generally be better suited to other tasks- but all things are rarely equal, and frequently in any given relationship a woman may outperform a man in what would typically be considered male territory- and vice versa. This is the most stable arrangement. Side: Female leadershi or equality

I like your response, as growing up for me meant never mowing a day in my life. Now I am the one who does, and I love it. I enjoy making the yard look nice and I am even picky about how it is mowed. I love having gardens of flowers. We live in the country and I have almost 5 acres of grass to mow. I also love to practice shooting guns. Something I also was not allowed to do growing up because I was a "girl". But again I agree with your response. Side: Female leadershi or equality
There is no contemporary compelling argument supporting the traditional head of household concept, let alone the gendering of that concept. The only reason that any head of household of any gender should exist is if the partners involved have discussed it from initially equal positions of power and agency, and subsequently agreed to organize their relationship on that basis.

Equality of course! Are you people mad?! Equality of course. (I don't know where you are..) But this is America! I thought us Americans were at least better than this. There is no man power or woman power. Everyone is equal. Gender doesn't give someone authority over one another. I mean I know the humans are stupid.. But this stupid?! Side: Female leadershi or equality
Well, to me it would be equal in between the both husband and wife they both should have equal power. Most will disagree saying that women dont have what it takes but one thing guys have to learn is to treat them with respect as well as show them some respect. Even though most don't sadly.

While I was raised by my mom in a single mom home, I had two older brothers 7 uncles and my mom was the only girl in her family and my dad's folks only had boys. When I was younger I fought like hell to beat the boys. It was my main mission to be able to do what ever they did. My grandpa was very old school. And since I spent most of my child hood there while my mom worked, i was always being told I could fish because I was a girl, I couldn't mow, or hunt. So many things I was told I couldn't do because I was a girl, this affected me to prove that I could do these things and do them better than my brother. I'm 34 now, I married a man who was controlling and abusive. We had two amazing boys, we have been D now for 9 years. So here I am a single mom raising my amazing kids. Trying so hard to teach them to be strong. There are something's a mom just can't do. All kids need a male figure, a good male figure in there life. They need to know how to treat women, and boys and girls learn from a dad or grandpa. Like me I learned from an early age that I was weaker than our male counter parts. Does this mean I still feel this way? No; and I excepted that there are things that men need to know they can do better than there wife. I have been with the most amazing man for 5 years now. And not only his he good for my boys but he is good for me. I'm not to the point yet of voting a women Into the White House, mostly because as a women I know MOODSWINGS. Men do have them to, just more logical. Do females need a man to survive ( heck no) and does a man need a female to survive ( heck No) we all can do just fine on our own. And women can be good leaders and men can be good homemakers. We are in a place in time were men and women alike are taking on roles that wouldn't be "traditional" but The Big D is more and more common. Men raising kids with out there mom, single moms ext...

No. Marital obedience is another form of slavery. The fact that freedom and authority should be determined by the posession of certain genes or choromosomes is disgusting ans sexist. I understand that you are old fashioned and thats your business, but I usually am not. Im neither patriarchal or martiarchal but egalitarian. All members of the human species have equal value in God's eyes. Dr. King talked about judging by the content of someone's charachter and not the color of their skin, and that can be apllied to biological sex. I ask that you not get angry with me before hearing why Im so strong willed about this. I saw what the patraiarchy and marital slavery culture did to my mother and I will never live like that.

I get the vibe that this is something you are very passionate about. I do understand how this can happen. I was comtrolled for a very long time. I was 27 before I even had a drivers lic, and that took a divorce. My ex controlled me so much that I was not allowed to go shopping with out him. If I went some where with my mom I was beat for it. But I have realized that with the right partner it is give and take, we all have certain things we are better at than are partner. Living in a controlling relationship or as you put it (slavery) is a total abuse of life on all fronts. Side: Yes, that is best
