While this has the ring of sexism to it, In my experience ladies will go along with this concept if you handle it the right way. "The right way" is to ask for the last word and be ready to explain why. The times that I have done this I can count on one hand but they were real crisis. These were instances when the wife bowed to my request more because she did not want to carry the responsibility of the decision if it went bad on us....go figure right fellas. LOL.
