I asked my friend, “What is the secret behind your happy married life?” He replied, “You should share responsibilities with love and respect each other. Then, there will be no problems.” I asked, “Can you explain?” He said, “In my house, I make decisions on the bigger issues, while my wife decides on the smaller ones.” Still curious, I asked him for some examples.
He said, “Smaller issues like which car we should buy, how much money to save, when to visit the supermarket, when and where to go on vacation, and which sofa, air conditioner, or refrigerator to buy, along with monthly expenses and whether to hire a maid or not, are all decided by my wife.
I just agree with her choices.” I asked, “Then, what is your role?” He said, “My decisions are only for very big issues, like whether countries should go to war, international policies, and other global matters. And you know what? My wife never objects to any of these decisions.”
