Relationships

Shared Authority

Arrangement in which authority is allocated between partners across defined domains rather than held solely by one.

Definition

Shared Authority describes arrangements in which authority within a relationship is distributed across defined domains, with different partners leading in different areas. Some Female-Led Relationships adopt this model, with the woman holding overall leadership while allocating specific domains to other partners.
