Amal, girl you crack me up! Are you sure you didn't leave anything out? What about you? Have you ever wanted to start your own business? See, I never did want to, but I did anyway and now I've been self-employed for around 13 years... maybe it's 14 - I've lost track!

Ok, first i need to apologize, I did leave something out. Although he doesn't speak Arabic, he does speak bits and pieces of Spanish and my son also is learning to count in Spanish. Sorry about that misinformation.

I have thought about opening my own business but don't have the courage to go out on a limb and risk my savings (or lack thereof) on it. And the fact I have no ida how to even begin!

I also forgot to mention that he was a fantastic baseball player and basketball player. He dominated the court/field.

He was quite adorable...i'll have to post a pic of us sometime..i wonder if i have it saved anywhere....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

back ache? i just got it....

never started my own business either. don't read or write arabic either.

Let's see, I could go do the sinkful of dishes. Or make the bed. Or make myself look and smell purty. Nah, I'll just go to work and make a paycheck. That will make ME happy and that's what counts. If I'm happy, everyones happy. It's all about ME ME ME ....( I am joking so don't anyone get your panties in a bunch)

No it should be about you BUT please consider the people at work and do the maintenance to look and smell purdy

I can only assume that these rules are merely a poor interpretation of what the Qur'aan advocates, if indeed it does provide rules for a successful muslim marriage.

Any rules that apply unequally are at risk of producing a dominant/supplicant relationship - the rules as presented are no exception. The rules would place the man in domination over the women, all be it if followed in conjunction with the rules for the wife this domination would be implemented kindly.

The rules appear to indicate that only the man in the relationship is capable of fully understanding the rules and it is his duty to remind the woman of her duties and punish her when she fails to follow them. It appears to assume that in all cases the wife will be less intelligent, less intelectually capable than the man. The rules appear to promote the idea that that wife is almost certainly a little 'simple' in the head.

It appears to be the man's duty to ensure that the wife doesn't stray down a sinful path, almost as if he is allowed to assume a position of spiritual authority over her. This point is emphasised by the proclamation that more women than men end up in hell, presumably because they are by their very nature more prone to sin and less able to understand that what they are doing is sinful.

There is nothing about these rules that promotes the idea that marriage is a partnership with equal benefits and responsibilities.

Right you are. Most of the time I'm teaching this husband of mine some of these oh so lovely rules.

Yes, I will look spiffy and smell gud at work. They pay me.

So what is to be said about a man that stays home all day while his wife works? Is he supposed to get all dolled up to greet her upon her arrival?

He was pretty much a loaner all of his life and grew up in a town about 1 hour away from where I grew up.
