For example, if you grew up in North America, you re probably fairly independent and consider each other as equal partners. If on the other hand, you grew up somewhere like the Middle East, where men tend to take the lead in making decisions, then women may take a more subservient role. It s not for us to judge which culture is right or wrong, because they re all correct in their own context. However, I believe good old fashion sense and sensibilities will lead to a more harmonious household, with deeper more meaningful relationships. If only one partner makes all the decisions, than the other partner is no doubt just a puppet.
Marriage is something sacred, to be shared between two people.
Decision-making is just one of the responsibilities to be shared, as are housekeeping and child rearing. This trend in metropolitan cities like New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo means a life with more freedom. For those who choose to have children, it is vital to be a constant source of support to each other. And having a clearly defined game plan for who does what helps. So matter who s the boss, there s always space for two.
