I read THIS very interesting article in USA Today about decision making in the home. Here’s a quote from it…
Of 1,260 individuals surveyed this summer— either married or living together — women wield more decision-making power at home. In 43% of couples, women made more decisions — almost twice as many as men — in the four areas Pew surveyed: planning weekend activities, household finances, major home purchases and TV watching.
“We’d all like to believe we’re moving toward gender equality — not just in the workplace but in the home,” Morin says. “There’s evidence that men are doing more around the house these days, but when it comes to absolute equality in decision-making, it’s the exception,not the rule, in the typical American couple.”
So, what do you think? Is this a good thing? Where would your home rank in this study?
While this article is not directly addressing men being the spiritual leaders in the home I’m wondering if there is a correlation.
Do you think there is a correlation between men not making decisions in the home and them also not being the spiritual initiators in the home? Can you be the spiritual leader (or initiator as I like to call it) and not make the majority of decisions in the home?
