I believe in equal relationships( No one is the leader). I wouldn't marry someone that I had to lead or they had to lead me.

And I also don't want my writing or reading to cause any sin or problems in my marriage. So, how does this work for married people? Am I looking into it too deeply?
I personally have no quarrel with love stories ... it's just that most of them are so awful!
TOM wrote:The other caveat/reason that your characters might feel "too real" in a sense that is "wrong" ... is an excellent episode of "The Twilight Zone" called "A World of His Own". An author who has the power to tinker with life ends up creating characters who have consciousness enough to resent his tinkering. Specifically, he "creates" both a wife and a mistress, and they both wish he would see them as real people rather than as emotional playthings. In a bit of meta-referencing, the fictional author who has been toying with his fictional characters ends up deleting the narrator, Rod Serling, a real person!

For one if the women had no husband and never knew her father.(she couldn't "submit" to a man she never knew).
