She understands why, and sometimes they disagree about how to handle her family in general but he usually follows her lead unless he feels really strongly about something, and then she'll listen to him and cave. It's a nice back and forth way they have of negotiating life's curve balls. I've never EVER heard them raise their voices to each other or disagree for any long period of time--I'd call it "productive conversations".
