Do you have what could be called old fashioned values ?...Are you King of your castle ?...Is there "mens" work & "womens" work ?...Do you have the expectation that a womans place is in the home ?...Is your partner an equal partner or is the man's word the final say ?

Good luck, gentlemen...Heh

Our house is very equal. My wife works very very hard every day both at her work and in our home. I would never imagine to treat my wife with anything less then 100% respect.

We basically have the daily choirs of taking care of our kids and running our house split equally.

Am I old fashion NO not really, but I will say that the final decision is mine Period. I choose what battles too fight, but in the end I am the top of the food chain. However there is womens work and mens work period, I wouldnt ever want to be in a relationship with a chick that worked on the cars, Built a outdoor kitchen, or roofed the house. I dont clean the house that is what our house keeper is for, you will never catch Rip cleaning toilets EVER!!!

You can't be a King if you don't have a queen, and that's how I treat my wife. My wife usually cleans the bathrooms, but I usually do all the other house work, as she does most of the kids stuff, like bathing them, feeding them. Plus she is pregnant and I don't want to burden her with alot of house work. but even if she wasn't pregnant I would still be doing the house work, like laundry, sweeping, mopping, and vaccuming.

I am not married but when I date a girl I feel that I need to pay for everything. I just don't feel right when a girl pays for anything. I feel emasculated. I know its silly but that's how I am.

Linda and me have a MODERN marriage.......

Neither of us do house work ( have same housekeeper for 15 years, and the same handyman, and yardman)

We do the laundry...both of us...no ironing (see housekeeper )

Neither of us really cooks ( at least not often)... we had our stove break years ago and we never replaced it for two years! Thank heaven for restaurants and microwaves.

On decisions, we argue allot ( mainly because making up is so much FUN).....

I'm only the king of the dog house if that can be considered a castle. I'm old fashioned, but my wife isn't so that means I do whatever she wants LOL!! We share the household duties equally. She cooks dinner and I clean up and vice-versa. I work full time, but she attends grad school full time. We work together on decisions regarding our children. We don't see eye to eye on alot of things, but in the end it all works out for the best. (When she gets what she wants) LOL!!!

My wife and I share in all the duties of the house and decision making. There are some things that I won't let her do, like mowing and weedeating the lawn and she does most of the cooking. Right now, I am doing everything around the house until she gets better.
