Lies Wives Believe

Space, The Final Frontier

Do you have to know where your spouse is 100% of the time?  Is he or she only allowed to do things that you want to do or that you approve of?

Now, having somewhere specific and knowing where your spouse is can be a good accountability system, but if you or your spouse has to always report in, and does not feel that they have time that they can call their own and space that they can call their own, you’re probably setting up “the perfect storm.”

People like to do certain things, and take possession of certain things.  A husband needs to make sure that his wife’s wants are met as well as her needs.  He needs to provide for her and make her comfortable.  Whatever’s in reason, he should try to provide.

But a wife needs to also know that a man also needs time to pursue his passions—well, both of you do.  If you do not have time to do things you like, then you have work and chores.  We’re built to want to have some down time, and that means that sometimes you have to do what he or she wants to do, but other times it’s your turn.

Learn to do things together that are relaxing as well as trying what your spouse likes.  And sometimes, the best thing that you can do is let your spouse spend some alone time—in the same house or out with friends.  It’ll help both of you recharge.
