I am new to this forum but I have been browsing the topics looking for discussions of wife led marriage. I have been experimenting with it in my own marriage for over a decade and I recently self-published a book on the subject.
I've found it very difficult to discuss this topic in public, it seems people are either offended by it or embarrassed to admit it in their own situation. It crosses many social taboos not least of which is that traditional male led marriage ought to give way to equality in marriage. Nobody is alarmed when a man is head of the household but when the wife asserts herself at home she is assumed to be a shrew or worse. (I publish under a pseudonym for this reason.)
But with more men unemployed and more women successfully advancing in their careers and with the growing trend of women being better educated, it seems like a timely subject and perhaps its appropriate for couples to finally come out of the closet.
What is the general sense here? Is anyone open to sharing their own experiences?
