ARE YOU BEING CHILDISH AS A WIFE?
By Bisi Adewale
Many married women are found with one or more of these attitudes. Many of them have in one way or the other forgot that they are now married, as some childish attitudes which they ought to have let go while preparing for marriage are still found in them, such as mentioned below;
- Nagging: Using abusive words, fighting your husband or being a nag has never helped any woman. It only helps in pushing the man out of the house. Surprisingly, I have met women who brag about their nagging lifestyle. It is bad, foolish and childish.
- Fighting in-laws. There is no way you can separate your husband from his parents by fighting them. Don’t be deceived if your husband supports you when you fight his family. You can never separate them.
- Committing their husbands into the hands of a house maid. Many women had lost their homes because they allowed their maids to be responsible for the welfare of their husbands. You have simply signed that marriage off. Wise women know that maids are for support and nothing more. Finito!
- Reporting their husbands. Some women are fond of reporting their husbands to their friends, family, neighbours, whenever their expectations are not met by their husbands. You can never get a right result by making a wrong move.
- Disrespecting their husbands. Men greatly value their ego and will easily tilt towards any woman. If you are fond of disrespecting your husband because you are angry with him, you will be the number one enemy of your marriage. The Bible commands you to respect your husband. (Ephesians 5:33)
- Sexual denial. Most wives uses sex as a weapon to fight their husbands. If you deny him at home, some women will offer it to him on a platter of gold. Be wise; don’t lose your marriage through foolishness. Satisfy your husband sexually.
