BRAVO BRAVO!!!!
I kind of have to agree.  I got slammed back in the beginning of this post for saying my husband was not a huge fan of chickens until they started laying eggs.  My husband was accused of being controlling and only acquiescing when he got something out of it.  I thought that was completely unfair.  That is not my husband at all, in fact if anyone is controlling in this house it's ME.  My husband lets me have free-rein when it comes to everything and anything.  He does have reservations sometimes about some of my harebrained ideas and stops me long enough to discuss it.  That I do not consider to be "controlling".  I love him and respect him enough to listen and sometimes even reconsider my plans.  We have a partnership.  A partnership involves 2 people.  Not just one. 
I feel that a lot of folks here took the bad experiences they had with marriage and  made a lot of assumptions about the rest of our marriages.  Not everyone is in an unhealthy relationship.
