I don't like how this question is framed. I don't look at control in terms of percentages. My husband will be the head of our household but will provide input when need be.

Head of house means he has ultimate control of what goes on. Anyway you frame it that's what it is.

It's a beautfuil thing, don't fight it, just let it happen.

100% control equals an abusive relationship you would be foolish to think that anyone would want that much control over them. Of course they are gonna tell you it's cool cause they don't want you in their business.

As far as control I don't want my husband to even feel that he needs to make sure he is controlling the situation. Now if I was a housewife not bringing in the money then obviously he might would have more control over expenses but then again some men let their women control expenses with things such as household items.

I prefer my man to have control and let his decision be the final decision on certain matters because I know that I'll pick a man that has good decision making qualities, looks out for his lady, looks out for his family, and puts his family before himself. I like to let the man lead. A man that truly respects and loves his lady will always ask for her input before making a final decision.

I'm married so when it comes to serious decisions he makes them, but as for little things it really doesn't matter. I'm not comfortable with huge decision making tasks. I'm not fit to be a leader so its how I like it. My husband is also the director at his job too, so he's naturally just like that. He has the calm to be able to deal with making life altering decisions and it works. He's older than me too so I really trust his judgement, he's been responsible since he was a kid.

This is the mindset I'll be looking for when I'm ready to settle down.

How much older is your husband and was him being older something that you liked from the jump?

He's 5 years older than me.

I liked his demeanor. He's 34 but has the demeanor of a 50 year old. He's really calm and analytical that's why I always go to him seeking advice.

My cousin and I are really close, if she wasn't digging her situation I'd pick up on it. She likes being bossed/babied. She takes care of my neice, cleans her nice ass crib, cooks, works out, and doesn't think about much else. Nothing abusive about it. That might sound like hell to you and trust me it wouldn't be my dig either, but abusive, naw.

My thing is that if you as a woman willingly pick the man that you choose to be with what is wrong with being submissive and letting him take the lead? It's one thing if you were forced into a relationship or marriage, but you willingly chose to be in a relationship/marriage with that man.
