Default I, as the husband, am in charge!

I've been married 30 years. When we got married, we agreed that as the husband, I would make all the big decisions and my wife would make all the small decisions.

It's worked out great! I'm just surprised there have never been any big decisions.

Once you make that agreement, there are no longer any big decisions.

That's great! You get to be the one that shops without consequence of budget or bottom line. Have fun!

Shortly after my wife and I were married, we were at a party, and I was stupid to brag to the guys in the immediate area that I was "King of our household". Little did I know that she was directly behind me. With out pausing, she said in a very clear voice so all could hear "Yes, that is correct but I'm Sgt Preston!"

Default Required For Marriage License

As a condition of a marriage license being issued, the prospective groom should be required to memorize and recite:
"Whatever you want, Dear"

I had to look that up, as it was on before I started grade school.
“ Sergeant Preston of the Yukon is a half-hour long American action adventure northwestern television series, broadcast in color on CBS Thursday evenings at 7:30 to 8:00 p.m. from September 29, 1955, to September 25, 1958. It was based on the radio drama Challenge of the Yukon.”
