Why do men feel the need to fix everything for their women? Why can't they just listen instead of trying to fix? Moreover, why do men feel that they have to be patted on the back for every good thing they do around the house? Dont they live there to? ....On the other side , Why do women "nag" when they know it annoys their significant other?

ey i've read that book...in every possesion it corresponds responsibility...well it's always expected on the side of the man to look over for the concerns of his partner, that includes to manage, to love, to consider, to protect her since he should always be the head...Besides women were created to become men's helpmate (though I'm still having a hard time understanding this, can this be obsolete now?but still thankful for the lighter task hehe)...In fact there are 2 vital commands given for men in 1 corinthians for a better living, by paul... for men, you should love and consider your wife...for women; to respect and be submissive to their husand-it's their particular & ideal roles in marriage ...This might be helpful if you are looking 4ward for a real commitment with your partner :)

I agree, Im just struggling with the help mate thing. I know its in the Bible so I believe it. Im just a really strong minded person so its hard to be submissive sometimes.

I think men tend to look at most things as a problem, and then they think hmmmm...how can I fix the problem? I agree they do need to tune in and just listen to us. Oh boy the pats on the back, what is up with that? I mean, come on do we say "Look Honey, I cleaned your dirty underwear today, where's my metal"? I think we nag them sometimes because we have to ask 100 times before they actually do it.
