Nature made it so, the book of Genesis repeated the same points, women should just submit to men for peace to reign, any other thing is against the whole laws. Women now work, not because some men cannot provide for their families but because they are now insatiable. Some will even want the men to sit at home and babysit! There will be peace in this world when women revert to their nature ascribed roles.

but we somehow end up on the most corrupt countries list and can't hold credible elections, have men/women engaging in extra-marital affairs left and right.  but hey, we still got the bible though.

@Oyinkansow, good points, good quotes but is it possible that women can perform the rigours of childbearing and still have enough energy left to till the soil, where do the men come in then? Equality in marrieges is a dream that will never work, the men should lead, and lead well. Be strong for the family and sustain them with all he has. For me, I cannot bear to see a woman I love to the extent of calling her my wife to soil her pretty hands working. What kind of money can she bring for me, who will stay around and galvanize the home front while I bring in the goodies?

So listen youngster, always allow the men to rule and God will be happy with you.

Women like u are not totally wrong. There are always two sides to a coin. Yes the Bible sayz women are meant to be submissive and all dat but it aslo says Men should respect and love their wives like themselves. What they(Men) do soo wrongly is to only take da 'submissive' part and capitalise on it and try to prove their points on that. Secondly, timez have changed and they (Men) need to get with it. Women are studyin really hard these days, attaining very high educational level and doin well for themselves and dat kinda status scares some men. They like to have authority, lead and be depended upon so a woman with a higher status than them could make dem insecure.

On the other hand, women spoil things when they have all these things and then loose respect for their husbands. Some women go as far as turning their husbands to a house boy   (not funny lolz  ). P.S Treatin yo husband without respect is NOT part of  feminism. Men cherish their authority and respect soo bad. They want 2 be da head and when dat is challenged,  da wahala starts .

What's the thread talking about-
''Is the fight for Equality ruining marriages'' or ''Is feminism ruining marriages''?
As it's obvious, everyone is presenting  the  woman as  the only subject craving for equality - Which is not always the case.
What's [gender] equality, if I may ask?
Shey one of both genders has to be superior to the other, before the other strives to become equal - Simply put; The struggle for equality sets in, only when there's superiority. No- ? Agreed?
Now, I ask - Is any gender inherently, beyond all doubts, superior to the other? Yes? Why? What's the yardstick of superiority?

invisible!:

No gender is inherently superior to the other when we are in any other field,

invisible!:

marriage is the question, men should not be seen to be superior, but should get all neccesary support from the woman in his effort to lead his family.

OYINKANSOW:

NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I support submission but mind you submission is not about being a servant but about alignment . The only reason why God commands a woman to submit is NOT because she is not capable of being a LEADER (Deborah in the Bible, Margaret Thatcher, etc) but because of ORDER AND HARMONY within the family.

Afterall if the man dies won't the woman step in as the new head? I know several widows who have done this successfully.

@chy-baby, herein lies the contradiction, how can a woman with very high degrees and too much knowledge respect anyone, talk less of his husband that she sees his 'kini' every night? The high pursuit of knowledge by women is a problem on its own, in the end the kids suffer, the society gets more misfits growing up and yet things are not better than they were when our grannies lived.
