I'm happy for you being one of the lucky wives whose husband doesn't expect to be served a la lord of the manor. :) About time that textbooks with medieval ideas were junked!

Woody has always danced to the beat of a different drum. He has always seen things differently and acted differently from the norm and I'm so proud of him for it. When he was younger he would make his mom get out of the kitchen so she could rest while he took over the cooking duties. His Dad and oldest brother thought he was weird. They are the type who complain when they come and there isn't enough food, or the food isn't done to their liking, even though she's been in the kitchen for hours. Woody knows the value of a good woman, and has always been secure enough to buck tradition. Would more men do the same. And more women pick them. I blame the women too, and the mothers who raise them. Mothers need to start raising sons worthy of having a good woman. And they need to start raising daughters who know their worth.
