Hey,,,,Good one!!!!!
I don't know but what I know is that Father is the head of the house and mother is the heart of the house.I guess it meant father is the head. I feel husband should discuss with the wife and take a decision. His decision should be final only if his wife supports him. Men are needed everywhere for decision taking and for that decision to be a success there is need for a support of a wome. Both are important. If man takes a decision and woman dosen't support it will fail. Both have to take the decision together. Husband should make it practical and wife should help the husband to make it practical.
I hope you find this answer somewhat near what you are expecting as I don't really know about this very much. Thanks!!

I didn't know most people did believe it. I actually thought it was a comparatively rare belief in today's western society. However, if you do not want your husband to have authority in your marriage, then you need to marry someone who wants an equal relationship. this kind of thing should ideally be discussed before marriage. some women like their husbands to be in charge. If you don't, then you had better not marry a take charge sort of man. Marry someone who wants equality. Make sure it really is 'equal' though. A great many men, while paying lip service to equality, for instance, want their wives to work and earn money but also do all the housework, cooking, childcare etc,in other words they want equality when it comes to paying the bills, but not when it comes to pitching in at home. This kind of thing can cause a lot of grief, so you really need to know where you are before you marry someone. I do not agree with the person who said that the one who earns the money controls everything. A decent man does not try and dominate his wife simply because he has more money than she has, and for that matter a man may have less money than his wife but still be very dominant. This again is something that is very personal, and you can't just assume that a man will be any more or less dominant depending on how much more or less money he has than you.

I don't understand why both people can't be the "lead" in the relationship. I find that in my marriage, sometimes it's my husband who make the final decision, sometimes it's me. It depends on every situation. I feel that when it comes to the children, I have the final say. When it comes to most finances, he has the final say. When we pick a car, a restaurant, anything else, then it could go either way. A marriage should be a team with two co-captains.

Yes, you have mentioned it clearly ship and in bracket family. So this is not that ship which sails on water. It is family ship. Both husband and wife should be captain of this ship. Both has to discuss together and come to one decision which is agreed by both.

I believe that the husband is the head of the household. Depending on the issue, mutual respect for each other's opinions would govern who's decisions are final on what subject matter. For example, if you know that your husband has sound mechanical knowlege, why would you not honor his choice of automobile? And if your wife is an investment banker, why would you now allow her to manage the family finances? But, if there is a true difference of opinion, as wife, I defer to my husband. I make this choice as an act of Love toward my God, that I honor my husband in this way. It is my choice, it is not demanded of me by my husband. And, if the decision proves to be incorrect, I do not say "I told you so". Many people don't understand that submission is an act of Love.

No one should make the final decision. It is a partnership. You will win some and you will lose some. Just fight fair and try to side with logic and reason. Both of you will have strengths and weaknesses. If you work as a team you will be strong. If one person tries to take over no one will be truly happy.

A manis the king of his castle and his woman is the queen of the castle and brotha if you don't know why and how to be a king of your home... I sure as hell can't help ya.
Some things if you haven't learned the by now, you aint gonna ever learn them.
Some women like having a man that is willing to be a real man, provide security for his home and be the King and then again some of these new women types, like weak *** men, they actually want to be the man and want their husbands to be punks.
And both people can't be the king of one castle for the same reason youcan't have two presidents of one country... it just doesn't make any sense.

My husband is the captain of our ship. But we discuss everything and come to a decision together.

Ultimately you would hope in a marriage that decisions be reached together. Compramise. Looking at the facts together and reasoning a decision. Might depend on the nature of the choice but still I think your both in this together, right. It might depend more on who the decision will effect more and who will be doing the work to get it done. Goodluck!
