Is Taken In Hand about dominance and submission?

No. Most Taken In Hand couples do not identify with those labels. In fact, most find those labels off-putting.

While it is true that in the Taken In Hand relationship the husband actively bends his beloved wife to his will (putting his wife and their relationship first at all times), the vast majority of Taken In Hand wives do not identify with the term “submissive” and the last thing they want is a man who would call himself “dominant.” Most Taken In Hand couples see themselves as ordinary people who simply prefer that the husband wear the pants in their marriage. The term “dominance and submission” has too many misleading connotations, such as that Taken In Hand is an alternative lifestyle. It is not.
