3 Things Married Women Need To Stop Doing by izeekur: 1:28pm On Mar 12, 2017
I’m convinced that marriages could instantly improve if wives would STOP doing the following nine things (in no particular order)…
1. Stop expecting your husband to read your mind.

That’s a generalization, but it often holds true. Men aren’t as good at picking up on the nonverbals. We are more concrete in our communication. We need you to spell things out clearly with your words. Don’t be angry at your husband for not knowing something if you haven’t clearly communicated it to him. Be direct. He will appreciate it and it will save you both a lot of unnecessary frustration.

#2 happens often and it’s one of men’s biggest frustrations in marriage…
2. Stop using sex as a bargaining chip.

Most men have a greater need for sexual frequency than women. Again, this is a generalization, but it holds true in most cases. Sometimes a wife can be tempted to “leverage” this primal need in her husband by giving or withholding sex as a bargaining chip. It might not be spoken out loud, but there’s an underlying message that, “If you do this, you’ll get it, but if you don’t do what I won’t, then it will be a cold night for you.” Using sex as a rewards or punishment cheapens the intimacy in your marriage and causes resentment to form in both spouses.
#3 is one of the most common mistakes in marriage…

3. Stop nagging your husband (or speaking negatively about your husband to your friends or online).

The tone of your words will shape the tone of your marriage. Don’t speak negatively to your husband or about your husband. Choose to build him up. This doesn’t mean you can never call him out for something



he’s doing wrong, but even then, do it with respect. A husband can do anything if he believes his wife truly respects him. A husband will be tempted to give up altogether if he feels that he always falls short of his wife’s expectations. The Bible even says, “Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.” (Proverbs 21:19)
