This is why I don’t think the situation TL describes (poignantly, from her own experience) applies in your home– for if your wife were “humbled” in that way, the children would know that it’s no use asking the mother anything, because only the father has any say.

Maybe it was the wife who knew better and not the children, because she believes that the father has the final say, so I wouldn’t be so sure of the children’s perspective…

TL:
Mark describes himself as head and leader. He believes his wife defers to him in order to show that “Father” leads the home.

TL was onto something in her comment #182
