M and I were driving home yesterday and said something to me that I might elaborate on later, but for now I want to jot it down and enjoy the perspective she brings to my life.
"[A woman] should build up her man's authority (in the home) so that he can be strong and make decisions, and I do that because I want you to be a strong man. I don't want you to use this against me, though, because I don't want to be beaten with it like a stick, I just want you to listen to me and make me feel like I have a vote. Explain your rationale to me and listen to what I have to say, and I'll follow you anywhere."
A paraphrasing, but I hope you hear this kind of advice from the important people in your life, too!
