Carrie Underwood: I'd quit my job if my husband told me to [View all]

Country music superstar Carrie Underwood has discovered the secret to a happy marriage, and it's kind of retro: Look hot, have date nights, and let your her husband call the shots.

Sheryl Sandberg, avert your eyes: Underwood, a six-time Grammy Award winner, says she would totally "lean out" of her career if her husband, professional ice hockey player Mike Fisher, wanted her to.

"If Mike ever told me he needed me to quit, I'd quit," she tells People magazine this week. "When you make that promise to somebody, and you stand before God and your family and friends, you've got to do everything that you possibly can to make that work."

It's easy to make a sweeping statement like that when a.) you're independently wealthy and b.) it's unlikely that your husband would ever ask you to give up your very lucrative and successful career just because he wants you to hang out with him at the rink. Plus, given the amount of time Fisher, 32, spends on the road playing hockey and Underwood, 30, spends on the road while on tour, some downtime might be a very welcome thing. Still, while Underwood says she's willing to cut short her career if it makes their marriage stronger, it's unclear whether the idea works both ways. Would Fisher consider leaving the Nashville Predators hockey team to spend more time with his wife? Would she ever ask him to? (Though we do think it's sweet that he left the Ottawa Senators and moved to Nashville, presumably to be with his country star.)

I know some people here were praising Underwood for her support of gay marriage. But not sure if you want her to be a role model for feminism.
