Ask your husband to brainstorm with you about a pressing problem. It will help you sound out your options and let your husband know that you value his ideas and opinions.
Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery. Dr. Joyce Brothers

This was something that I struggled with & honestly at times still struggle with because I was a single mother for a few years and was used to making all the decisions myself.
ReplyDeleteI can say that including & trusting him with decision making in given situation has made a tremendous change in our relationship nevermind the reduction of stress for myself ;)

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I found your site! I'm stopping by from BHC.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of this approach, in times past it's led to heated arguments between my husband and I. It's even suggested in The Love Dare (Christian marriage book - hugely popular), which is why we tried it initially. I guess it just doesn't work for everyone?
