It depends upon what you mean by taking a lead role. Do you mean making decisions in various departments of romance, finances, children, pets, house, household duties, etc? We discuss most of the important decisions requiring dual participation . Once you get to know each other well enough, smaller decisions can be made by one person ( this applies to both partners) for both with love and caring, walking in the other person's shoes. If it does not work out well for both of you, time to discuss next time around. Whoever is good at something can take a lead role for example if you do not have the head for mathematics, let the other person manage finances but, with your input. A marriage partnership works better when there is understanding. For example, whoever comes home from work first, gets to cook keeping your loved one's likings in mind and the other person does the dishes and so on. These are only minor areas of a marriage but, all areas count! Another thought is never to blame your partner if you went along with his decision and it did not work out. Remember you had your opportunity for feed back if you discussed it first, so its always "WE" versus You and I. So, who takes the lead role in a happy home? Both! A buggy needs both wheels to be strong for a smooth ride!

Neither, and Both...
It depends on what you mean by "lead role". If you mean one person who has the final say in all aspects of the relationship, then the answer is neither!
A partnership, such as marriage, means each person respecting and relying on the others strengths. Both people in a marriage should be able to take a "lead role" in whatever area of life and love they are strongest.

In most cultures it is the male who takes the lead role. You know, they are supposed to bring home the bacon and take care of the problems with the house. In my opinion it is a combination of the dominant personality that over rides the other and who ever does more as far as bringing in income and takes care of most of the problems in the home.

The husband should be the King of the house and the wife the queen. Lack of understanding this basic concept of marriage and the natural creation of man and woman is the reason why we have 50% divorces today. Because men nolonger know how to be men and when they try to be men they are shunned from doing so and women are trying to be the man of the house instead of raising theiir children.
And we wonder why they want us out of the middle east.

traditionally the husband takes the lead role, but these days woman are making more money and getting more education, so they may be the breadwinner.
It really depends on the couple and how dominant/submissive each partner is. My relationship is about 50/50 b/c we are both very laid back.

Neither!!!!! Sit down, talk about who is best suited to do what. Get separate bank accounts, and one joint. Each one of you should put enough into the joint account to cover all the bills, all the food, and of course, emergency back up. I found that even though you share you life with no secretes, that each has to share the responsibility of a well greased household. Discuss expenditures. (the ones that belong to the house)
Good luck..But average out all these answers.

Depends on the personality of both. Usually if you are a leader you will not be attracted by another leader and vice versa. So naturally one become the leader and the other one become the assistant. A good assistant will lead when he/she has to, he or she will just make it look like it`s the leader driving.

Whichever one is stronger, and able to handle situations to the advantage of both. However, NEITHER should ever have complete control. Marriage is a partnership. Both parties should always be involved in all circumstances

They should talk and make decisions together or decide unanimously who will make decisions.
There is no right
there is no wrong
People just have to agree that's what makes a good marriage.
