Beginner dancers are told at their first dance lesson that women always start dancing using her right foot because women are always right. Men, on the other hand, always start to dance using their left foot, because they have two of them.
A Jewish rabbi once told me that "If you want a long and happy marriage, just do what she says." This is Biblically-based advice and was practiced by Abraham. This verse is found in Genesis 21:12 “listen to her voice.”
On the dance floor, the man has the “power.” The woman relinquishes her “power” to the leader. The woman must "turn off" her brain and get in touch with her intuition nature. Once a woman starts to think, she will guess the step the man is doing. Normally, women guess incorrect 100 percent of the time. So, ladies turn off your brain. Believe me, you will love it. Dancing to the music without a care in the world is wonderful! And, if you mess up, it is the man’s fault. Ahhh, life as it should be.
Men love having “the power” on the dance floor. It’s very manly and suits their “doing” attitude. Men pay for the privilege of having the “power.” In addition, men pay dearly for the woman giving up her brain to the man so she dances in “intuitive mode.”
When a man has “the power” he also has responsibilities that go hand-in-hand for having that “power” 1) If the woman doesn't follow a step, it is the man's fault. Why? Well, he obviously didn't lead the step correctly or the woman would have followed. Right? Of course, when in doubt, remember that a woman is always right.
In every relationship, someone has "the power." Husband or wife, Parent or child - someone has the deciding vote about the course a relationship takes or doesn’t take. Without one person in a relationship having “the power,” and the other person giving permission to the other person to have that “power” -- unhappiness is a sure outcome.
If “power” is taken, and not given, then we have resentment. If “power” is given, and unwanted, then we have more resentment.
For a happy marriage relationship, the “power” is transferred back and forth between husband and wife. A good example might be decorating the home. Some men prefer to allow the woman to do this task completely on their own because 1) he has no interest and 2) he has no "sense" of color, etc.
The obvious choice for “the power” in this task would be for the woman. The man happily relinquishes his “power”, and the woman takes the “power”, and of course, the credit cards.
