Is there love and respect in your marriage? Is your husband the head of your home? Do you sometimes try to take over his role as leader? Do you find yourself challenging his decisions or trying to undermine him? What happened to the marriage vows you exchanged with him?
Your husband needs your support and encouragement not your criticism and resistance. It’s not easy being the head of a home. There are times when he has to struggle to pay the bills, work overtime and deal with problems at work. The last thing he needs is to have to deal with an unsupportive wife.
When important decisions need to be made, you can help him by offering suggestions, recommendations but leave the final decision up to him and no matter what he decides, support him. Be optimistic. And if things work out, celebrate and if they don’t just be there for him.
When you have disagreements or arguments, take a moment to cool down so that you don’t say something you might regret. Always be respectful even if you don’t feel too loving at the moment. He is your husband, the man you pledged to spend the rest of your life with. He ought to have your respect regardless of how much he upsets you or rubs you the wrong way.
Don’t go to bed angry. Try to work things out. Don’t allow your anger to escalate to the point where it affects your relationship and causes a rift between the two of you.
