who has MOST of the authority in your marrige or relationship?

Question

my man is the authority

im not weak i like it that waty i find a strong authoritive man sexy

Answer 1

When it comes right down to it my husband is the head of the household and I would bow to his authority if it ever became necessary, but we make all of our decisions together. We are a partnership by choice of both of us. We really haven't needed one to have "authority". We do a pretty good job of working together.

Answer 2

perhaps when you are young and very impressionable that will work for you But eventually you need to develop as an individual and make decisions more and more on your own as your man may not always be there at the time. So based on respect of each other and your need to grow and mature you will realize there is more to the marriage than authority and submission. There are times to speak up for yourself and insist and there are times to accept what's happening as the best for both of you at the moment even though you may not get "your way" each time. If one person has to continually give in to the others needs eventually the relationship suffers as you would become resentful. So keep up the respect and don't have a huge temper about it, but also expect a loving partner to understand your right to speak up and consider you in decisions that affect you both. Neither a pitiful wimp nor a hen pecking wife be.

Answer 3

My man is too and no I am not weak either, I am a strong, smart sexy woman who gets what she wants, and I want a man who is a man....

there is no such thing as 50/50...both parties are supposed to bring their own special gifts to the relationship and give 100%....

Answer 4

On the outside, it may appear I am the authority. I make most of the decisions in the household because I am here more. I'm a STAM. He works a lot. If it is something major, we discuss it and come to a decision together, but as far as day to day stuff, most of that is on me.

Answer 5

Well someone does have to drive the car

I guess I do, however, I discuss everything with my wife and get her opinion, and thoughts, Were share holders I have veto vote.

I went to a seminar, went home and apologized to my wife for being a controlling husband. She said I was, but I don't do it for selfish reasons, I do it because I see the path that needs to be taken.

Answer 6

My husband and I are partners. We have an equal share in everything. I am better with money then he is so I do the bills but he is better with handling the bill companies so he talks to them when there is a problem. We may not always agree with how the other wants to run the household or how to disipline the kids when they get in trouble but we usually manage to sit down and work out our differences.

Answer 7

No one should have "authority". relationships should be diplomatic and have balance. You both should have an equal say in everything. He sounds controlling and thats not good. Dont let it continue or matters could possibly get worse. Stand up for yourself and if he gets physically or emotionally abusive then leave. No one should be treated unfairly.

Answer 8

My husband and I. We respect each other so we discuss all decisions and make them together.

Answer 9

Answer 10
