    Actually this stubborness on who I am has kept me married for decades. I had a real strong religious conviction that marriage is permanent despite all the conflict. Now that I have accepted influence from others, I realize how one sided my marriage is and plan on ending it,

      Making Marriage Work | Dr. John Gottman - on the same channel. ~45mins
      Without watching it my guess is 2 things:
      1. At the beginning have shared values (many people put this religious/god which is of course a construct for such and right in that sense).
      2. Role define and clearly elaborate roles in the marriage at the beginning if the traditional system (see 1.) is not baked into the husband or wife's world view yet. Equally, as above marry someone who is traditional in this sense for most people: Eg A woman who wants to prioritize home-making = Mother, rearing children, enjoying the daily home role, being the emotional heart of the family and the social glue of everyone and being skillful at this in addition to wanting it.
      3. Is when the above were not sufficiently abided by, which is really where this video clip begins... ie "late in the day" is a case of avoiding problems makes solutions much easier to work with/implement than solving those problems after they arise!! If arriving here, as such. then here work should be done at best to reconcile the world views and the roles of each under the present realities. If that is successful the goal of that is to create a marriage where the actions of each in their roles contributes to a "marriage/family accumulator" for each positive action and positive reinforcement of that is the route to success....
      The initial advice with respect to areas of trust in relationships, at least from my own experience I strongly concur with as being "foundational" to building upwards success for family in the structure of marriage. I'd further add that structure is stronger and more supportive with more extended family value-system as a larger set containing the set of nuclear marriage.

      What's your experience or knowledge about the subject?? I m talking from practical data points. The marriage in which final decisions on any important matter doesn't rest with the husband don't go beyond 7 year mark . They most likely divorce with in first 5 years .

      Marriage is an institution. Any institutions which doesn't have a boss or have too many bosses is doomed to fail . Look at east vs west . East, more or less still go by the same rule therefore divorce rates are much lower in comparison to west where its a full whorish culture running , no loyalty or commitment in marriages.

      I know this is old and I hope you changed your outlook by now. You are not meant to dominate your spouse...Even in the Bible marriage is very much a well oiled team with roles. The wife is the man's first counsel. That alone speaks volumes to a culture 1000s of years old where women had no legal rights.
