I can see why what she wrote seems very desirable, but I see potential red flags, depending on what you're looking for.
She says she's there to support her man, yet she doesn't take a role in any part of her metaphor (the body) to describe a marriage.
The spine is the symbol of support, as is the neck. (You stick your neck out for someone). Also the neck is used to turn the head (the masculine) in the direction you want it to go. It takes involvement, effort and cooperation and it seems she wants no part of it.
She's walking behind, not in front, which we as men like but for what purpose? To protect or to hide behind or to stab?
It seems to me that while she may not be a controlling, feminist bitch, she may be the opposite extreme where she wants no responsibility and to lay by the pool all day. Is that marriage material?

A man has to have a stance. Simply has to. Always and everywhere, without exception. Leave those stories that say a man has to be the head, and the woman the neck [methaphorical]. I don't want to be the neck. The man is the one who has to be the head, the neck and the spine. I'm there to support. You [a man], simply, walk in front living your life, I'm there half a step behind you watching your back, because no matter how strong I am - you have to be stronger.
