Who Is The Master of Your House1
Men may rule the world but women rule the roost, a recent study that shows
women wield considerably more decision-making power than men within
marriages. Researchers found that wives, on average, displayed more power
than their husbands during problem-solving discussions, regardless of who
brought up the topic of discussion.
And it‟s not simply a case of women talking more than men. “They were
communicating more powerful messages, and men were responding to those
messages by agreeing or giving in.”
A recent case study involved 118 married couples who were observed and
evaluated while they discussed problems in their relationship of their own choosing. The
average age of the participants was about 35 and average length of marriage was seven years.
Researchers videotaped the discussions and then coded the couple‟s behaviors according to a widely
used interaction rating system. The results showed that women appeared to have more power during the
discussions in the form of domineering and dominant behaviors than their husbands.
