‘I wear the pants in here!’ 

The last say continues to be an issue that causes some women to feel belittled and marginalized by the very thought and concept of who has the last say. Some men believe that to promote peace and harmony within the family, saw it best to allow their wives to have the last say. This issue of ‘last say’ has created a power struggle between men and women within the home. Is the issue of ‘who has the last say’ a problem, a symptom, or something else?

 

Objective:

  1. To bring some clarity to the pressing issue of who has the last say. 
  2. To calm the tensions between the sexes and come to a clearer understanding where both men and women can agree on who has the last say. 
  3. To settle this issue would be to create a harmonious and peaceful environment within the home for the man who will no longer have to feel threatened or intimidated by or about his wife with regards to who has the last say.

 

What is this thing about having the last say in the context of the man in the home & family?

  • What is the association between a man having the last say and how the man functions in the family?
  • Why is it important to know and agree on who has the last say?
  • Is having the last say or the lack thereof on the part of the man in the home one of the things that is causing the destruction of the family?
  • Should anyone have the last say in the home and who should it be?
  • How does having the last say play out in the daily life of a man in the home? 
  • What are the implications for the family when the male fails to have the last say when the wife overpowers him by taking over the last say? 
  • What is good or bad, right or wrong about either men or women having the last say?
