All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. Martin Buber

Last night I watched a very entertaining movie I guess on BBC America, Shakespeare Retold of The Taming of The Shrew. It was funny and I got a good laugh from it, The Taming of the Shrew a interesting story. But anyway, I have been thinking about it some more and related issues. For example, I do not want to marry some woman who wants to just sit there and follow my orders or get married and starting popping out my eleven kids one by one, one every year. I really actually would like to marry someone who is confident, has a career, has a direction in her life. I want to know she could and can make it on her own without me if she needed to, not one of those dependent relationships (like I am the oxygen tank keeping her alive.) I mean, yes I want to be wanted and needed, but come on give me a break! I want my opinions and voice to be heard and decisions to be decided jointly and each of us being considerate of the other at all times, etc. Okay, I know this is the ideal situation, but I don't want it to wake up someday and be living in one of those old fashioned family stereotypes with the very rigid gender role thing going on. I am the guy who actualy doesn't care if my wife is bringing home most of the money because most likely she will be. I won't be jealous or whatever, I know most people think yes the guy always is, but I don't think so. So my question is am I being unbiblical? Becuase you know a lot of conservative Christians would try to tell me that I am not being a man, or I need to step up and be that masculine whatever. I don't think so, or really don't want to believe it. I am leaving this open for discussion and guys you can speak up to not jus the girls coming in and going "what a great man you are!"
