Transforming Your Husband
Wives, men are very easy to tame! But you need to apply wisdom. To tame a man, all you need do is never to challenge his authority. If you do, no matter how good you are as a wife, it will be very difficult for you to win him over to your side.
What are his authorities? Let him know always that he is the HEAD of the family and that his say is final, even though the 'say' may be what you induce him to say! Let him know that you love him. Don't always engage him in arguments. Men consider this as a direct challenge on their authority. Make suggestions and ask him to give it a thought. One of the fundamental mistake women make that pitch them against their husbands is that they want the answer now-now or they want to see their commands carried out by the men without editing. If you do this you will not enjoy your husband.
One other habit that particularly switches me off (and am sure it also does so to other men) is for my wife to affect my flow of thought whether I am talking to someone or am on the phone! Some women have different ways of doing this. As you speak, they oppose what you are saying at the background but loud enough to cause you distractions and to confuse your thinking. Some will pinch you below your belt as you speak. Some will tap you while some have the habit of pressing your leg. Some go as far as hissing and sighing!
Wise wives, I must tell you, we men hate these attitudes! They make us feel inferior. They make us feel inadequate. They make us feel less than men! They appear subtle but they are capable of giving us raised bp. We, men hate them like plague.
Another irritating thing that make us unhappy with women is when they play Oliver Twist without appreciating us for what we've done already! Yoruba has a saying that "A child that appreciates yesterday's gesture stands the chance of being blessed again". Many women consider what is yet to be done more than appreciate that which is already accomplished. This is a vexation of the spirit to the men fold. Thank us first and then make more demands!!!
What does the Bible say about this? 1 Peter. 3:2 responds thus " In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over 2 by observing your pure and reverent lives. 1st Peter 3:2. Wise wives, why not try this approach? Good morning.
