Why do women no longer thin k they should be a summive wife?

Other people's marriages are not your business. But to answer your question, I'm not a "summive" wife because my husband and I both believe that our marriage should be a partnership, not a relationship of control and submission. When we don't see eye to eye on something, we compromise or accept the fact that neither of us will get our way all the time when the time comes to make the "fianlly" call.

And I will say that one of the finer aspects of being married to someone who views me as an equal is that I have been able to enjoy the benefits of a college education. Ahem.

Edit: In response to the "additional details" you posted, yes, sometimes one party does have to "give in." But determining who gets their way does not need to be a decision made according to antiquated gender roles. You'll find that most educated people, men and women alike, hold a similar belief.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but it wouldn't be a fair relationship if it was the same person giving in all the time especially if it is because their gender.

Well, I can spell and that probably plays a big part in why I know I don't need to be "submissive" to anyone.

What? Obviously you married your husband very young and he didn't let you attend school at all.
