   mine is. But there are mothers who are better at it. I like to think that gender has nothing to do with it...

   husband naturally dominates the family.
   
   

   Rubbish! Those men who feel the need to dominate their families and subjugate their wives into submissive obedience are insecure, immature power and control freaks who hide uphold the paternalistic model and claim it's natural and God given right. Well, it isn't natural and it's no longer an acceptable model in the times in which we live.
   
   What's natural is basing long term relationships on good ingredients grounded in equality and mutuality.
   
   Good Ingredients for lasting Relationships
   (1) Awareness that happiness comes from within and accepting the responsibility for your own emotional choices. You do have to be able to love yourself before you are capable of giving anything at all to another in a relationship.
   (2) Trust is fundamental to commitment to the relationship whether or not a legal formality has taken place. For without our inherent trust of each other, we will be unable to grant freedom, to treat each other with respect and equality, and to be supportive.
   (3) Granting another person the freedom to be themselves, to stretch and grow or to wither and stagnate, is the ultimate result of love–unconditional love.
   (4) It may be more romantic to talk about love, but it’s important to remember that both love and list are emotions that wax and wane. Healthy relationships happen between two people who really like each other ie. mutual affection. When affection is mutual, it endures.
   (5) Agreement to a healthy conflict resolution process is required from the outset of any relationship because arguments are a normal part of a relationship.
   (6) Change can provide opportunities for growth and intimacy, but it can also be painful. In successful relationships, resilience is a factor in lasting relationships. Resilient couples learn to adapt and change together. They accept that change is an inevitable part of human life and support each other.

   a nice theory but unfortunately not all men do it. good thing people of both sexes are able to be strong.
   
   as for the dominates nonsense... domination does not mean manly or good.
