Calm doooooooooown.
The op created two threads. One for men and one for women. No one is arguing here. The op is asking what is the greatest thing a woman can do to keep her home happy. Check out the male thread.

This is my question o. thanks

Thats commendable. you would amount to the very few people who practise it. Do you use the bible to counsel?

I dnt have a problem with your question. I have a problem with the way you presented the post. You didnt present the thread for males that way. Did you accuse them of lagging behind in their use of 'weapons' to keep their marriages? No. But you did that here. Biased you are!

I don't see any bias here. men also lag behind in their use of weapons.

You didnt state it in their thread and that shows you are biased. anyways, have you counselled a woman who has gone through domestic violence before?

I am not a supporter of the 'wife must submit' syndrome ravaging some Nigerian homes.
My reason is not far fetched and is given below:

Those who proposed that a wife must submit to her husband's whims and caprice must have had a generalized view that men are more Intelligent than women which in reality is not the case.
Therefore, if all men are not more intelligent than all women, it will be very foolish to say that a woman must submit to her husband regardless of who is more intelligent and can make a better decision, unless the submission we are talking about here is a kind of artificial one that's only meant to make the men feel better.
So, op I don't agree with you.

will you agree with me that men and women are wired differently and so have different needs. What a man needs most from his wife is respect and what a wife needs most from her husband is love.

Everybody needs respect and love. If you think otherwise, don't respect your wife and don't expect her to love you, and then enjoy a 'blissful' marriage.

I think the reason most wives have issues in their marriages is because they don't put to use their greatest weapon.

A wife's greatest weapon is stooping to conquer. It sounds foolish but that's the truth. Men have ego and the solution to that is stooping to conquer. A man responds to a submissive woman.

Find the secrets of wives whose husbands listen to them.You will find out that such wives understand this mystery.

What do you think is a wife's greatest weapon?

lol at stooping to conquer grin

Maybe i dont really get your question sha, but in my opinion, a wife's greatest weapon in her marraige is wisdom. She has to always apply wisdom in whatever decision she makes. She should avoid acting before thinking.
So to me, wisdom is key; & not necessarily stooping.

men respect naturally that's why you can't find guys having issues amongst themselves like ladies. Women love naturally that's why you see ladies greet each other with hugs,pecks etc.
In marriage above all a man must learn to love more and a woman must learn to respect more.

I had to do a quick search for the meaning of submission to be double sure of what I already knew it to be which in the context of marriage relationships is yielding to and letting one partner lead and make decisions in the relationship while the other abides by such decisions. However, I wouldn't mind if you bare your own understanding of the concept of submission.

Submission is one out of the many other attributes men desire from their women. Mind you, what is good for one might not be good for all. Thus, a wise woman will study the likes & dislikes of her hubby & try her best to maintain peace & tranquility in her home. cool

The bolded is very funny to me. Men naturally respect? With the many instances of female discrimination and absolute unbridled dominance? thats respect to you? Are you kidding me? Do you know what 1st peter 3 vs 7 says? Husbands are told to show their wives honour. What is honour? If you scan through the bible, you will see that it preaches mutual respect for both husbands and wives. Its not a quality restricted to just wives.

True. And i avoid such men at all cost!! A man who is always about you massaging his ego to make him feel better about himself, a major turn off.

How soft n pliable it is when on the mic. If she deep-throats then she's set for life.
