Not you - Jamroll. I know you're being serious.
I think that in marriage, people have domains and you cede control for those areas. What the areas are depends. As for big decisions (like where to live or something), I really don't think that it's a good idea for one person to declare "We are moving to X" and expect the other person to willingly follow and then have a harmonious existence (obviously a situation like match where there isn't much of a choice is different because you don't get to pick either).
I think you guys have this idea that women "back home" are all submissive and the ones raised in the West are not. That's not really true - there's a mix of people in both places.
