In 22+ years of attending SSPX chapels I have never met such a couple.
Fr. Paul Ward of the SSPX is fond of telling women not to get a college education, but to get married right out of high school and then remain quiet, barefoot, and pregnant, constantly pregnant.
Quite often people want to discuss overbearing husbands (and other misuses of the husband's authority) as a way to undermine the Catholic teaching that a husband has authority over his wife.I think it is important to have a clear understanding of how marriage is supposed to work before getting into discussions of distorted versions of marriage. It is clear enough that a husband should not abuse his authority, just as it is clear that a wife should not disobey her husband. What is much harder to understand is what a godly marriage looks like. We live in a world where we see few models of this, yet this is what we need.
However, if the husband were to be saintly and lead his domestic church by patience, love, and good example, then this whole topic of "overbearing" would not exist.
