my best friend, who is now married, and i can't seem to come to terms about marriage. we were both brought up in christian households, but have different takes on marriage. i believe that in a marriage all major decisions (purchase of homes, cars, etc.) should be made together or at least discussed. she says she is his "helpmate" and he makes the decisions...for example, he comes home one day with a new car, they didn't talk about geting a car, he just showed up with one. now a couple years later its time for a new car, this time it was discussed, but it wasn't the car she wanted, and the car she wanted cost less than the one he bought. vacations, they go where he wants to go, and it's usually the same place every year. she hardly ever goes to visit her family anymore just his. holidays they go to his parents house, and if she does visit her family for they holidays it's just her, not her and her husband, and it's usually just for a short visit before they go to his parents house.
