Wife Led Marriage and CD

[Pumped]

I dunno...maybe I'm missing something here. I guess I always saw a marriage as a partnership between equals, and issues, even CD related ones, decided by respectful and hopefully loving negotiation. One person might take a more active role, but the other is not submissive. The idea of the wife or husband "leading" the marriage is for me kind of uncomfortable.

My wife is active in decisions around the home. We talk, but generally up to me to decide. She is not uninformed or clueless. She just doesn't feel the need to be involved in day to day stuff, and I have no issue with that. we do talk about our days and the little stuff that goes on. I tell her when I pay bills. I respect her wishes and I believe being together for over 40 years has built some level of trust.
