We both do, LOL, mine are smaller than his. We have an equal marriage. He works outside of the home and brings in the income, I work inside of the home and take care of the house and bills. (Up until my five year old son goes to school next year or before I am looking at having to pay back my student loans in a month or so if I don't go back to school) When we discuss what to buy, or what we should do etc, we both have our input.

My husband and I (he's sitting right next to me..lol) discussed what you were saying. Personally, I would rather have my husband wear the pants in the home. I mean I can hop right into a pair of over sized comical pants with him, so that we can both fit into it.
Beings how men are prideful creatures and women are prideful in their own unique way, I would respect his role and his manhood and stand right by him...whatever you call that...we both support each other and encourage each other 50/50 but I will not clip his balls and hang 'em to dry if you know what I mean. I want him to feel like a man. Hope that made sense.

well my husband told me before we got married I was the boss ha ha,,,,I would say however that the husband usually always lets his wife get her way to avoid problems....Im just being honest here.As far as a boss,I really think there should not be a real boss,I think you and your husband should always discuss big issues.I also think that each little thing that comes up whoever is in charge at the time either husband or wife should be able to make a decision.I think there should be respect for each others opinions also.Marriage is committment not a jail sentence,and each of you are individuals and should be treated with respect.I enjoy playing bingo on friday nights and i go my husband don,t say anything,if he wants to go fishing I don,t care ...It like you should not fight,if you disagree on something you should agree to disagree......We don,t fight ,we just dicuss our issues.......Some older men think a woman has no say in anything and they are the big boss but i feel they are quickly finding out that its not that way anymore ,we are equals,walking side by side.No man will respect a woman that lets her man walk a all over her and a woman will not respect a wimpy man..Marriage is a two way street with two people with different idea,s work togeather to make it work for them.I feel communication is the best way

My husband respects my opinion but he is a strong man and very capable of being the man of the house. I am a strong woman and a proven leader but we have a partnership and after being together for nearly 20 years, we've learned how to let the other one be right without feeling threatened. Fortunately, his strenghts are my weaknesses and my strenghts his weaknesses. At the end of the day, all is good. It wasn't always like that but with a lot of hard work, we got there.

I think it is 50/50. There should be no 'who wears the pants' anymore. To the person that said "God said it should be the man", give me a break. That was a lovely trip to the '50s but back to reality. When two people are in a relationship there is NO boss. It's called a partnership for a reason.

I think it's sexy actually. A girly girl was never my thing. I was always attracted to the type of girl who would take the school to court for not letting her join the football team. Those are the type to become the modern women we have today. My gf was a roughneck and not so girly coming up and now as a mother of two she's raising her daughter the same way.

Usually, it's me that runs the show. I run things by him to get his opinion on some things, but mostly he is content to let me be the one who controls the household and children issues.
I would be more than happy to give up a few sizes of those "pants" because sometimes, I am just tired of wearing them.
The really funny part of it is that he'll tell his friends that he wears the pants in the family. I'm O.K. with that, as long as things get done.

Not me! And I wouldn't want to! I want to be married to a real man! How could I have a real man if I am calling the shots? Men are suppose to be the head of the household. Women taking over just because they "want" to be the boss is against God's marriage arrangement. I love being in subjection to my husband and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Well, my hubby loves that I'm a 'modern woman' but I will admit he is the one who wears the pants. God created us for the man to be the head of the household, and we honor that.

We bought a giant pair of pants, and both wear them. Marriage is supposed to be an equal partnership. Whether one is the breadwinner or the stay-at-home mom, it is a union. Compromise is a big part of a successful marriage. :)
