- you tell him you are thankful for his strength and enjoy being able to lean on him at times.
- you support his self-image as a leader.
- you never say, "you're responsible but we're still equal, so don't make a decision I don't agree with."
- you praise his good decisions
- you are gracious if he makes a bad decision
- you disagree with him only in private and honor his authority in front of the kids
- you give your reasons for disagreeing quietly and reasonably, but you never attack his right to lead.
- you do not play "head games" with him to make him back down and be a "loving peacemaker."
