In my case it is my husband, what ever he says stands. It is not that I don't take any decisions, just that he finalises them. Financially he is very good in understanding things, when it comes to family , kids , buying anything new he does ask me to suggest but decides on his own. who is the deciding factor in your family, who is more in controll of the situation?

I prefer to take decision taking my better half into confidence. We generally do not take major decision single handedly. I always take her suggestions before arriving at an important decision. As far as dominance is concerned, we both dominate each other, whosoever gets a chance to dominate........LOL!

something like the saying 'I AM THE BOSS AND I HAVE MY WIFE'S PERMISSION TO SAY SO',:)

I'm more of the decision maker and more dominating than my husband, but not in a bad way! He's just really easy going and goes with the flow of whatever is happening. He trusts my decisions and goes along with what I think is the best idea. He does have his own opinions, so don't think he's brain washed. He's just more laid back than most lol

I think a family will be more happier if men allow the lady of the house to decide on things. lucky you. it works better this way.

Just like you, but I some times do not like tobe dominated. Since I am not earning I had to listen to him. Its ok. I get adjusted after all we should keep going. Not that he won't be giving money or anything, but when buying big things I just can not proceed on my decision. He just simply says no. But I lost all my interest since my only daughter joined a spiritual organization. There is no one to look after, I mean for whom should I argue with my husband?

We're very much equal. I tend to bow to his opinion on many things, but what he says, by no means, is the way it's going to be, unless we come to some sort of agreement.
It doesn't sound like you're voiceless or demeaned, but I'm very outspoken and stubborn and your agreement wouldn't work for me.

then you have a very good listener as your husband :), most of them are not even ready to listen what we say.

In my case, whoever has the better idea wins. It doesn't matter who decides as long as the decision is for the good of the family. We don't look at it as dominating whatsoever. It's just that we agree on things. And I think, as long as you understand each other, its more important.
