Power Within Your Marriage

"Who wears the pants in your family?" Often we hear or ask this question ourselves. Sometimes it is asked as a joke and other times it isn't. I don't know about you, but my husband and I both wear pants. It would be weird if one of us didn't. The same goes with our marriage. We both have a say. We believe in equality in a marriage because this is what the Lord has taught us. A man and wife are equal partners. One doesn't walk ahead of the other. They are to walk side by side.

My husband and I have different opinions on many different things. How do we come up with a solution to a problem or a question if we have different ideas or ways of doing things? It is challenging at times. We are still learning how to work together and come up with solutions together. This can be done by counseling together. This is how the whole church is run and decisions are made. This is how we can make decisions together and share the power within our marriage. Respect and love are key to counseling together. Listening and opening your mind to your spouses ideas. If the Spirit is invited, there will be guidance given. With this guidance, the couple can be unified and come to an agreement or solution together. Everyone will get to wear their pants.
