I think all those ways are good for leading. But how does that impact your wife? If you are trying to show her you are leading, what is her definition of leading. My wife view things like, paying the bills and handling the finances as things I'm suppose to do. My wife definition of leading is taking control over situations that she feels uncomfortable with. Do you understand what you wife taking the lead means to her?
