Q16: Is consulting and making decisions cooperatively with your wife permissible? Absolutely yes — the husband's headship is not about excluding his wife's input

Mike clarifies strongly: consulting with and heavily weighing a wife's counsel is not only permissible but wise. He gives a personal example — discussing his upcoming Ravi Zacharias video with his wife on a walk and receiving her advice. The knucklehead behavior he critiqued is the opposite: husbands who, out of fear, abdicate all decisions onto their wives to escape responsibility. The husband's headship means having overruling authority used properly and godly, not excluding the wife from decision-making.
