in all the marriages you have seen ,who seems like they are the more dominating the husband or wife?

Answer 1

Depends. Who does the leather outfit look better on?
:)

Dominating is a negative term, and so neither side is helping maintain a healthy relationship in such a case.

Used to be a male dominated world. Now the women seem to be taking the reins more often.

Answer 2

In the relationships that I have seen, many of the wives are the ones running the show. Most of the husbands seem to just go with whatever makes the wife happy.


I find that interesting since years ago, it was what the husband says, goes.

Answer 3

I've seen a lot of marriages where the wives are dominating and I've seen a lot where it's been equal. It's funny that I've never seen where the husband is the dominating spouse, unless it's an abusive relationship.

Answer 4

It should be 50/50. But honestly, in my experiences of knowing people who are married. The woman is more dominating, but not in the sense that it is a bad thing, instead they are the sole providers (working A LOT to make ends meet), they clean the house, take care of their children, while the man in the relationship is just trying to figure out what they can do. I think that all things in a marriage should be 50/50 no matter what..but that is just my opinion.

Answer 5

In the relationships I've seen, the dominating spouse was the more educated one or the one who made the largest financial contribution to the relationship. If both spouses were equally educated and contributed alike financially, then there was on dominating partner.

Answer 6

Most successful ones have a workable balance. The old adage goes "when Mama is happy everybody is happy - when Daddy's not happy, nobody cares". My second marriage (25 years) is a great 50/50. My first wife tried to run everything and when I let her she called me a "worm" - so when I decided to run things she called me an overbearing azzhole. I divorced the crazy bi+ch.

Answer 7

In a successful marriage, neither. But to answer your actual question, the wife. And the husbands allow it to keep the peace no matter how miserable they are. (I am a woman, not a woman-hating man.)

Answer 8

When we first married, he was more dominating.He felt that since he was making the living,I should "take care of household business". I was the one who had to deal with bill collectors, banks, school activities,schedule outings,balance checkbooks etc.Somewhere along the way I became the more dominating,not out of choice but necessity.

Answer 9

It depens on the personalities of the couple. Usually, the husband has the final say in some matters, while the wife has the final say in other matters.

Answer 10

I have seen all types. I have seen relationships where one spouse is literally a control freak, and the other just submits. The best marriages I have ever seen is where they each respect each other and listen to each other. That is true love.
