Most Wives are Just Pretending to be Weak and Submissive

The Woman's Ability to be More Patient

It is easier for the woman to understand her husband, than for the man to his wife. One reason lies on the woman's ability to be truly patient, which men don't naturally possess. There is indeed power in patience. That is why most men are easily cowed by their wives in a way so subtle that no husband can easily detect such patience-based wife power.

Wives are Pretending to be Weak and Submissive

I think true peace at home between husband and wife has to start somewhere, perhaps right at the husband's clear understanding of his impulsive manner and on his wife's ability to patiently pretend to be weak and submissive. The Biblical prescription is for the man to understand his wife as a "weaker vessel" and for the latter to be always submissive to him. Most wives don't truly submit to their own husbands, for the simple reason that they are not loved the way they wanted to. Peace at home is elusive if the husband doesn't understand that Eve was created differently, from a piece of man's bone in contrast to Adam's dust-origin.

How to Understand a Woman?

We can truly understand a woman only if we employ scriptural teachings. The woman was tempted first, not the man. There's indeed validity to one survey that wives are more adulterous than husbands in most democratic societies. I should say every husband should keep this in mind: wives are not required by God to love, but only to obey their own husbands. If submission to one's husband is absent, then the monkeying of the wife is always a possibility--most especially if she is good looking and earning more!
