No one should be dominant. If we love our spouse and respect them it should be a mutual thing. If someone has strength in an area of expertise they should be dominant there and where the other is better they should be the dominant. Compromise is the key. It is about coming together in a marriage not seeking division. First and foremost set goals that you both can work towards. This should manifest in parenting, budget, family, and future plans. If one is always seeking domination then they are only in love with their needs not the family needs.

Dominant? Well I think nobody... RElationship rather marriage does not talk of whos the boss and the follower... MAn will always have the last word... but he should take his wife as partner... not follower. The home is the territory of the woman i guess... but she must give way to the idea of her husband.... Marriage is a give and take relationship.

It is all depend on the situation. If only the husband is working and sole provider, he is dominant. But as we move to more modern life, where some women are no longer full time housewives or dependent to husband, I think it is only fair to say that both are equal in sharing their responsibility and both are equally dominant.

I think no one should be dominant in a family. Both should be equally treated and accepted by the other person. The problem is if one tries to dominate, it can have a severe effect on their relationship. Although it so happens that many families run as male dominated ones and a few families as female dominated ones. If this is the case, then it is not so good for the society in general.

I guess they should be equal... Domineering at different aspects... I must say man and woman are very different and good at different areas.... So if all the time, im the domineering partner, den it would have been disaster... But of coz, i wouldnt want him to be that domineering all the time... So as to say, mutual respect is very important... He must give me my own time and own space... After all, tts what holds a marriage in place... Isnt it?

I tell everyone he may wear the pants in this house but I pick them out everyday. No that is a joke but me and my husband it is equal. We share all chores, and children time. We work together on it. If he is just beat and too tired then he will just put my son to bed. Everything is equal. He will cook for me a couple times a week and I will cook the rest of the week. We take turns and it works out so much for us that way too.
