Hmm, I wonder who invented the love, honour and obey part... I wasn't a feminist before Jan but I might stick my toe in and give it a try haha. Bet I'd love it :)

the marriage vows certainly are archaic - no wonder some brides have bits missed out! hugs Jan xx

Jan, sounds like a relationship plot for a movie that would end in a murder. Not pleasant really for either. I do believe bullies and men obsessed with power are very unhappy people inside. We say they hate women, but they also hate themselves. Power is something meant to be restrained (if one is wise according to Don Juan as reported by Carlos Castaneda). Smiles for what you are doing!!!

ooh it would make a good movie Duke! the day after i wrote it was the trial of a guy whose girlfriend killed herself because she could no longer stand the abuse
