of marriage who are fearful of abuse. Abuse, on the other hand, IS nothing but abuse,
of course.

I too know many Catholic families and none of the wives submit. In fact quite a few say that the wife is the head not them. So I don't know what Catholic families you talk to because most of these are pretty conservative as well. No, my husband wouldn't be the head it would depend on the situation.
