The Decision Making
Objective is Affirmation.
If the husband is not a dictator in decision making,
then what is his role? I believe it is his responsibility to create a
climate where his wife knows that he values her as an equal partner. That
when it comes to decision making, he wants her to exercise that
partnership by sharing her thoughts and feelings regarding the decision.
He will do the same and together they will seek God's wisdom as what they
should do.
This co-operative decision making must be taken
seriously by the husband and the wife. Otherwise, they will be
severely limited by their own perspective. The husband must see that he
does not run over his wife and must see that she does not do the same to
him. Decision making is not a competitive sport where someone wins and
someone loses. Decision is a joint effort where we both win, or we both
lose, depending on whether we make a wise or poor decision.
Thus our objective is to make the decision in such a
way that we both feel affirmed. This is the sign of a healthy marriage.
