Except wives who do not rely on husbands' income are a rarity in LDS culture.

I confess to twisting on the community property point, to make a joke. Normally I don't twist. Just state things as they are.

Your initial response to the scenario was...
Then you followed that up with Quote:
Did I take that wrong? But it seems odd for you to say that, given that a) it seems impossible in the male dominant culture for a woman to be able to pull that off and b) your admission that a Muslim would divorce his wife in that case. |

I would like to point out though, that in your scenario, I think it would be unfair of the believer to pay tithing without coming to an agreement about it with the unbelieving spouse. But I don't see why the difference in belief per se should pose an insurmountable problem *in either direction*. (When my wife left the church, she also supported my activity in it, after all, and I'm glad she did). |

ok, so let be clear about that ...A society that makes women work to death while at the same time they would have to deal with home and kids business would be honored as women dominant culture??
