Candace Cameron Bure, best known for her role as DJ Tanner on Full House, sparked a debate about wives playing a submissive role in their marriages.
Cameron Bure talked about taking on this role on with her husband Val Bure on HuffPost Live, after writing about it in her book Balancing It All: My Story of Juggling Priorities and Purpose.
"My husband is a natural-born leader. I quickly learned that I had to find a way of honoring his take-charge personality and not get frustrated about his desire to have the final decision on just about everything,” she wrote. “I am not a passive person, but I chose to fall into a more submissive role in our relationship because I wanted to do everything in my power to make my marriage and family work."
While on HuffPost Live this week, she defended her comments, saying she loves that her husband of 17 years is a “leader.”
“The definition I'm using with the word 'submissive' is the biblical definition of that," she also said, Us Weekly reports. "So, it is meekness, it is not weakness. It is strength under control, it is bridled strength. And that's what I choose to have in my marriage."
Cameron Bure and her NHL star husband have three children; Natasha, 15, and sons Lev, 13, and Maksim, 11.
