Men might throw their weight around at the office, but at home, women are the bosses.

A study, which was just released, finds that wives have more power than their husbands in making decisions and dominating discussions.

Wife power could signal a harmonious couple. "There's been research that suggests that's a marker of a healthy marriage—that men accept influence from their wives," Murphy said.
The study, published in the April issue of the Journal of Counseling Psychology, was funded by the National Institute of Mental Health along with ISU.

It works and has worked for a lot of people, some do better with the man in charge, some do better as equal partners. This isn't news, its just saying what a lot of people have been doing for a long time.

I'm not sure about all of the above......but I will add that I think women control an amazing amount of wealth--- much more than most realize or is ever admitted.
