ORIGINAL: juliaoceania Have you any experience with the Christian religion? Many adherents of that faith believe a woman should be submissive to her husband. If you pay attention to the vows Christians take when they marry, women promise to love, honor, and OBEY their husbands. I do not know why you would find a site that was dedicated towards that lifestyle "funny".... To be honest, I've been to a few church weddings, Catholics and others, never once heard OBEY, seems to be only used when both partners request it, what seems to be used is "love, honor, and cherish" for both parties, I can't imagine a lot of modern women going for "obey"... It is the vows that are in the bible, and just because the weddings you have attended do not use those vows does not mean that there are not a significant number of people who follow that train of thought... man as head of household, man as spiritual leader.... etc etc etc.... those are the people that are attracted to Taken in Hand. There is a substantial evangelical movement in this country that believes in such things. I have went to churches that preached about woman's relationship to man, and her place in creation... do I agree with that worldview? No. Do I respect their rights to have that worldview without being ridiculed? Yes. As long as they are not trying to make me worship their god, I am fine with what they want to do.
