What you say is true. My belief is it is important to stop these sorts of things (demands) from gaining traction by stopping it cold at the start.
In a relationship there has to be a dominant partner and it will either be you or her and from my experience women who feel they can dominate their husbands quickly lose respect for him. Most women do not know how to exercise authority and tend to over do in an effort to “prove’ they are in charge and make sure everyone knows it. This is especially true in the work place where women can very often be petty and over bearing.
Marriage is 49/51, but can only be one boss, and biblically speaking, it’s the man. Women who are in control tend to resent their men ( according to research I’ve read).
