^ Didn't you learn that we can't rely on the stereotypes (male and female) portrayed in the media for an accurate portrayal of humanity?
It's like believing in fairy tales! :p
Look around at your married friends instead. Your neighbors. Your family. You'll see that each person in a relationship has their own strengths and weaknesses and most marriages are an equal partnership and not an exercise in dominance/submission. Look especially close at anyone under 40, and devise an average rather than focus on perhaps the one or two couples who do appear to conform to the stereotypes.
