Former child actor Kirk Cameron's marriage advice is essentially everything works out fine as long as women know their place.

"A lot of people don't know that marriage comes with instructions," Cameron explained. "And, we find them right there in God's word." 

Cameron stated that husband's are "to love their wives and not to tell their wives that they need to submit to them," but added that wives should not only respect their husbands but also follow their lead. 

"Wives are to honor and respect and follow their husband's lead, not to tell their husband how he ought to be a better husband," Cameron explained. "When each person gets their part right, regardless of how their spouse is treating them, there is hope for real change in their marriage."

So to be clear the husbands should tell their wives to submit, the wives should just know to do that in order to keep the marriage together. 

You know I'm twice divorced so I am the last guy to give marital advice, but it seems to me that if your relationship only survives because one of you is expected to shut up and do as they're told, then what you have is not really a relationship. Well certainly not a healthy one.

On a related note we could all still be enjoying the existence of slavery if those uppity Negroes had only accepted the fact that the white folks were in charge.

Georgia police chief calls 911 to inform them that he accidentally shot is wife....twice.

The wife of Peachtree City Police Chief William E. McCollum is in critical condition after being shot by her husband Thursday morning. 

Police responded to the couple's home in the 100 block of Autumn Leaf shortly after 4:15 a.m., where they found the victim, 58-year-old Margaret McCollum. She was taken by helicopter to Atlanta Medical Center. 

The GBI will handle the shooting investigation. GBI spokeswoman Sherry Lang said Chief McCollum called 911 to say he accidentally shot his wife twice with his service weapon.

After investigating it was determined that the chief only managed to hit his wife once. 

Gee, with all of the practice they get you think he could group his shots better than that.

Oh, I forgot it was an "accident."

Apparently the shooting took place in the couple's bedroom. Which as we all know is the very best place to be brandishing a firearm.

Surprisingly as a non-gun owner I have always felt quite safe in my bedroom.

Man accidentally saves wife's life by shooting her. Only in America.

The son of a 75-year-old woman who was struck with birdshot by her husband while sitting in a recliner says the accident might have been a blessing because doctors treating her found a previously undiagnosed heart problem. 

Charlene Ross' 77-year-old husband told authorities the shotgun went off Sunday at their home in York Township, in northeast Ohio, when he was checking to see if it was loaded. He told deputies he was getting the gun from a closet because he wanted to use it to scare off geese from a pond on their property. 

Ross was taken to an Akron hospital, where she was listed in serious condition Friday. 

Steve Ross told The Medina County Gazette his family considers the outcome "a blessing on two fronts" - that his mother was nicked in the neck by only one tiny pellet and that doctors then discovered she had an abnormal heartbeat, or arrhythmia, that can be dangerous and now can be addressed with a pacemaker. 

"Had this accident not happened, my mom could have been gone at any time," he said. "You hate to use cliches, but this is a Christmas miracle."

Okay seriously I know we are a nation of gun owners, but when we start using them as diagnostic tools I think it may be time to consider moving out of the country.

"Look your honor I was not shooting my wife in an attempt to kill her, I was shooting her to find out if she was suffering from anything terminal. Good news, she's fine. I mean besides the bullet holes."

Congressman writes memoir in which he states that "The wife is to voluntarily submit" to the husband. Did I mention that he is a Republican?

A Republican member of Congress says in a recently released book that a wife is to "voluntarily submit" to her husband, but that it doesn't make her inferior to him. 

Rep. Steve Pearce's (R-N.M.) memoir, "Just Fly the Plane, Stupid!" was released last month. Its publication -- and his acknowledgment in the book of the controversial nature of the submission debate -- come as the Republican Party reevaluates how it talks to and about women. 

In the book, Pearce recounts his rise to owning an oil-field service company and winning election to Congress. In the book, the Vietnam War veteran says that both the military chain of command and the family unit need a structure in which everyone plays his or her role. 

He said that, in his family's experience, this meant that his wife, Cynthia, would submit to him and he would lead. 

"The wife is to voluntarily submit, just as the husband is to lovingly lead and sacrifice," he writes, citing the Bible. "The husband’s part is to show up during the times of deep stress, take the leadership role and be accountable for the outcome, blaming no one else." 

Pearce, who is Baptist, emphasizes repeatedly in the chapter that submission doesn't mean inferiority but rather that husbands and wives play different roles. He also says it doesn't mean his wife doesn't have a say in major decisions. 

"The wife’s submission is not a matter of superior versus inferior; rather, it is self-imposed as a matter of obedience to the Lord and of love for her husband," he writes.

Christianity, helping husbands dominate their wives for over 2000 years. 

No wonder the Republicans fight so hard against raising the minimum wage and allowing women to have control over their own bodies, that might give those second class citizens the idea that they don't need a man in their life paying their bills and telling them what to do.
