Who Should Make Big Decisions- Mom Or Dad

source

Hello friends

Making decisions when single is much easier than making decisions when married, Do you agree?

Who do you think should always make the big decisions in the family, Dad or Mom?

Decision making in a home from my perspective should not be left to one parent, I feel it should be a collective collaboration especially when it has to do with a big decision like where to live, relocation, business path or other major decisions.

Dad and mom are very important and since they are regarded as one after marriage then I think the decision should come from their agreement. They should agree and decide on it. If Daddy brings a suggestion or mom does, it should be looked at by both of them to decide wether they would go with it or not depending on the reason.

For example, in my home, I saw my Dad and mom agree on a particular suggestion before they carry it out. When my mom suggests that something should be done, my Dad approves and it's done.

Also I think in the areas of specialties decisions should be left for who knows better. If the mom is best in the kitchen or home then decisions about the kitchen or home should be done by mom. If Dad is good with finance and trading then decisions should be left for him. That is their area of strength.

What is Your reason for choosing either?

I have chosen both of them and not just the Dad or mom in particular because one person doesn't know it all this is why the Christian holy book says one shall chase a thousand and two shall chase ten thousand. This simply means together the decision making is far better.

The scriptures went on to say that it is not good for a man to be alone. Imagine getting married and not carrying your wife along then why did you marry her? Even God put her in your life so that there will be a difference.

I will always support that big decision be made together so that even if it goes wrong the person who made the decision will not be blamed. Dad an mum should work together making big decisions together or based on their strength.

Do you think big decisions should be left for only one person to make?

No! And I have clearly stated the reasons in my previous comments. Big decision making should be collective.

Big decisions are big, someone once said two good heads are better than one. Do you think those who made that statement don't know why they said so?

If you say your husband or wife is a part of you then they should be a part in everything even in decision making.

What is your advise to families going through this phase on deciding who should make big decisions?

My advice would be for them to come to a proper understanding. Let them understand that they are one and not a separate entity.

They should know that together brings a complete result. Leaving the decision to one person doesn't show unity. God brought the two of them together to become better else you would probably be single.

Decision making is an important aspect of life, the right decisions takes them up but the wrong one brings them down so it should be taken seriously.
