In our family and in almost all families in Sri Lanka the leader of the family is the husband. Sometimes the husband is a useless drunkard and the mother is the bread winner of the family. Even then the husband has the last say in everything. In our family I am the only one working and I make all financila decisions. But decisions relating to my son is taken by my wife.

I usually tend to make all the decisions in my family. My husbands mom wears the pants in her family so my husband is very submissive. I've tried to change that over the years, and he has gotten better. I always consult him before making any decision.

In my family we discuss just about everything. There are some things that my fiancee is better at making the decisions about then I am. I leave those things for him to decide. As there are some things that I am better at deciding about so he leaves those things to me. When something that neither of us is better then the other one at then we decide about those things together.

My husband and I are equal partners for the most part. Our major decisions are made with a lot of discussion. There are smaller ones that don't require much discussion, I still talk to my husband about them though, and he always asks me why do I always ask, I tell him, I do it out of love and respect for him and his opinion.

I usually make the ultimate decisions after my husband and I discuss it. Most of the time he says he would rather I decide because he spends so much time doing that at work, he'd rather not think about it at home. I have known families who really had no discussion. It was ruled by one or the other and there was no compromise.

In my family both my husband and I talk about the decisions but I ultimately let him decide. Although I took care of the bills paid them so I decided which ones got how much.

It's only be the husbands who's leading when it comes to your family...each husbands should be the bread winner of the family and the head of it.

There is no leader nor do I think that there is a need for one in my family either. We make decissions together and try to discuss it before we make it final and if we can't and one of us do decide on something without the other, then we discuss it at a later time and is no big deal. My fiance would say me, but I don't want to be a leader or whatever because we're in this together and are very open about any decissions. -Lora
