`` Full House '' star Candace Cameron Bure has written a book that is sure to get women talking -- though perhaps not in the way she anticipated . `` Balancing It All : My Story of Juggling Priorities and Purpose , '' is all about her life as a working wife and mom . But she also includes some information about her marriage to professional hockey player Val Bure . The couple have been married for 17 years and have three children . `` 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 , '' the actress writes in her book . During a recent interview with The Huffington Post , Cameron Bure explained what she meant . `` The definition I 'm using with the word 'submissive ' is the biblical definition of that , '' she said . `` So , it is meekness , it is not weakness . It is strength under control , it is bridled strength . '' `` And , listen , I love that my man is a leader , '' she said . `` I want him to lead and be the head of our family . And those major decisions do fall on him . ... It does n't mean I do n't voice my opinion . It does n't mean I do n't have an opinion . I absolutely do , but it is very difficult to have two heads of authority . '' `` In my marriage we are equal ... in our importance , but we are just different in our performances within our marriage , '' she said . The actress/author is still remembered for her role as playing D.J . Tanner on `` Full House '' and continues to work , most recently on the Hallmark Channel 's movie `` Let It Snow . '' Her family is no stranger to controversy . Her brother , `` Growing Pains '' star Kirk Cameron was criticized in 2012 for comments he made about gay marriage to CNN 's Piers Morgan . Cameron Bure sought to explain that she does not consider her role as a wife to be less than that of her husband 's in their relationship . As for a possible `` Full House '' reunion Cameron Bure told The Huffington Post that fans of the show `` would love to see that happen , so who knows ? ''
