WHY MOST MEN THINK THEIR WIVES ARE STUBBORN

The husband is the head of the home as ordained by the originator of the marriage institution ‘God Almighty.’ But when the husband now uses this knowledge to run his home like he is running a military government; where it’s only his opinions that count, then he’s bound to be laying the foundation for conflict and disunity in his home.

Marriage is a union and for that union to be progressive, each individual must listen to what the other has to say irrespective of how irrelevant they might consider the opinions of the other to be. Most of the problems encountered in marriages are as a result of the inability or failure of the men to listen to what their wives are saying.

Men, most times think that they know everything, mostly when it has to do with making decisions in the home and how it should be run that they consider any other opinions not in agreement with theirs coming from their wives as a revolt or an act of stubbornness. No wonder when a woman starts raising objection to the man’s way of doing things instead of paying attention to what she’s saying, most men tend to view her as disrespectful and nagging.

Most women wouldn’t complain unless they think that they are being neglected or not being heard in the relationship. Men expect their wives to run the home perfectly and make it a haven but when it comes to decision making in the home, they tend to ignore the wife’s inputs even if it appears such views are more feasible when compared to theirs. They fail to understand that when it comes to the running of a home successfully no single individual knows it all. Heads must be put together for such a home to be planted on a strong foundation of love, unity and peace.

We men expect our wives to share the same opinions with us always that when they are having a contrary opinion to ours, we tag them rebellious instead of listening to what they are saying. Do you think your wife is mad to always hit on same issues all the time? Don’t you think that she has been repeating those same lines that you have termed nagging because you’ve refused to listen to what she’s been saying? If only we men can just let go our opinions and views and sit calmly to listen to the opinions of our wives, then we can really avert most of the problems we face in our marriages daily.

Marriage is a union and for that union to be progressive the voice of every individual in that union must be heard else chaos and disunity will be the order of the day. The way and manner you treat your wife’s opinions will determine the level of respect and peace of mind you get in that your marital relationship.
