My wife taught me the coin toss thing, and it's really helpful. I also sometimes ask her to decide, and then if I feel like arguing with her after she tells me what to do, it means I really wanted the other option.
When we were agonizing over whether to send the kid back to daycare, we made a list of benefits and risks. In this situation, what were the guaranteed benefits we would receive vs. what were the potential risks we were worried about. Similar to pros and cons but with some amount of probability and weighting thrown in too.
