Being married to an over the road trucker, I'm usually home to deal with things much more than he is, so the general day to day stuff is up to me. I do get his opinion on things I'm not fully decided on, and when it comes to major things, he certainly is involved.

I was the one who found and negotiatied the land contract on our current home. I homeschooled the 2 younger kids, take care of our finances, and pretty much choose the things we have/use in our home. I also buy most of hubbies clothes for him. It's as much a matter of convenience as my "wearing the pants" since he's usually only home part of sat and sunday and living where we do, it's close to an hr drive to any city where we can shop.

Right now we're trying to decide whether we should fix up the mobil home we're living in or replace it in a couple of years when the mortgage is paid off on our place. We plan for this to be our retirement home; so need to have it fit to live in for another 25 or so years. This type of decision we make together.
