Usually couples had an agreement that before making decision should consult each other.Sometimes we decide by ourself in times of emergency problems.how about do you consult you partner in decision making?

There are things that need not be consulted to your partner and there are things that should be consulted before deciding. It really depends on the situation. Good evening.

yes. I always seek help with my boyfriend when it comes in decision making. especially in financial matters. he is really good in handling money, and so he's so smart. I believe that I would never go wrong in decision making once I ask his help.

Well I am a woman. I usually consult my partner but i have more or less made a decision already if you know what I mean. I do the consultation in such a way that my partner thinks he made the decision(ha ha ha). But there some mattetrs where i defer to his ecpertise and so I consult before making a final decision.

i come to my mate and ask His opinion prior to making any significant decision. When i already know his stance on something i proceed accordingly. We find it easier to navigate through life unified. i would never go against His wishes, life is just easier when we work together.

Well I always consul my wife whenever I need to do something or I'm planning something. It's helps to build trust and loyalty for both partners.

Recently, not really. Yesterday, my boyfriend decided to do things without me, and it was the same thing today, so I did the same.

In any major decision, it is a MUST we talk about it first. Whether it is to get a new phone or a new gadget, etc. For the small decisions, I make sure I let my husband know what I plan to do. We are very open about everything in the relationship that we help each other in times of need

I do. I actually do it almost all the time. Consulting my wife about certain decision would make her feel more important. In that way, she becomes more empowered as a woman. We really manage to talk about all the choices we should be making at home and outside.

I always do when it comes to major decisions like buying a property or investing in a certain business or what to do with some problems in the job. I believe it is necessary to consult my hubby because two heads are better than one. It is also a way of showing my respect to him. On small matters however which I believe I can handle and will not offend my husband if I would do, I do the decision myself.

I do ask my husband first before making a decision and he do the same! I think it is important to know what's your partner opinion before making a decision.

Well if you're talking about a gir/boyfriend relationship, I dont think you have to consult your partner unless it concerns the both of you. But when you're in a marriage, you have to talk things out esp[ecially major decisions, minor decisions, one can decide but out of respect, you still have to inform your partner.
