6.1. I’m going to talk to you about a variety of issues. Please let me know how you and your spouse typically make decisions. When I say “spouse or husband,” I mean someone you are married to or are living with as if married. There is no right or wrong answer. We are just interested in how you make decisions on these different areas. (Circle the option which best represents the respondents answer. You do not need to read these options for each question but you may wish to provide them as a helpful way for the respondent to categorize who makes decisions)
