Understanding The Wife Husband Relationship
Understanding The Wife Husband Relationship
The wife husband relationship can be a complicated one. Many marriages fail because one or both partners don't really understand the dynamic of the relationship. If even one person has a basic understanding of it, the marriage is bound to be stronger. But if both people understand how a wife husband relationship works, then it has the best chance of being a good marriage.
One of the keys to understanding the wife husband relationship is to realize just how different men and women really are. Aside from the obvious physical differences, the sexes are different emotionally and mentally, too.
When faced with a problem, for instance, men and women tend to approach it from completely different angles. Women are more likely to discuss it with other people. They might get advice and input from a few friends. It's not uncommon for women to talk about the problem at length.
That's because women solve problems when they talk about them. They explore all the angles of the issue and how they feel about it, and often in doing so a solution appears.
Men, on the other hand, tend to be more tight-lipped about problems. They think about it more than they talk about it. It's more common for a man to ponder a problem and say little until he's figured out the solution.
In the wife husband relationship this difference in problem solving can itself be a problem. He might think that she's talking it to death when she should be trying to figure it out herself. And she might think he's not even worried about something because he's not talking about it. When in reality, it's on his mind all the time and he's just not pointing it out.
Sometimes, women tend to talk about things that they don't necessarily want help with, or advice about. They simply want someone to listen to their opinion and thoughts. Where if a man is talking about something, it's because he wants an answer.
If a woman is talking about something just to get it off her chest or vent, other women tend to get that and offer support. They don't try to tell her what to do for the most part, but simply join in the conversation in empathy.
A man might simply state a solution and tell the woman what she should do, thinking he's being very helpful and doing what he's supposed to. But in reality, the woman will feel that he's not listening and instead just trying to end the conversation.
Of course, not every wife husband relationship will happen exactly like these examples. Some men will talk out a problem and some women will be tight-lipped about it. But in general, the sexes can be expected to follow these typically patterns.
Understanding those patterns can help you stop yourself before you do something that's natural to you. You can think about what your partner needs from you instead, and do that .Your wife husband relationship will be much stronger and happier because of it.

4 Great Lessons From Relationships Experts
4 Great Lessons From Relationships Experts
If you've read or listened to relationships experts, you know that some of what they say is just common sense. They tell us things we already know, but they're great at putting it into words and examples that make things easier to understand. The best relationships experts just know how to communicate.
They can take those common sense things and say them in a way that makes you get it. Like the concept of what to expect and what to give in a relationship. This is one of the best lessons you can get from relationships experts.
Very often we go along in a relationship and as time goes on we start to take the other person for granted a little bit. We don't thank them as much, and sometimes we don't do nice things in return for them quite as much.
It's not that we don't want to, but that we simply forget or think there will be time later. After the relationship hit a rocky period or ended. We start to remember to be thoughtful and kind. And it becomes very important to us.. Relationships experts stress that as a good way to keep a relationship strong.
A second great lesson from the experts is to do what the other person will appreciate. This is another great common sense lesson that's all too easy to overlook. It applies to anytime during a relationship but after you've gotten back together from a break up or other bad patches it's even more important.
To do what the other person wants doesn't mean you should never consider yourself. But you should try to do what appeals to them to show them that you care. If it really makes you happy when your boyfriend or husband helps you wash the dishes, then maybe if you helped him with some housework that would make him feel loved, too.
But there may be ways he likes to feel loved that are different. He might be the type of person who likes to hear you say it often, or likes romantic gestures. Even if those things aren't as important to you, you need to do the things that are special to him.
Sometimes we forget that, or we just assume that everyone responds to the same things. But doing what makes the other person feel most special is easy to do, as long as we remind ourselves to do it.
And a lesson that the experts teach that often goes forgotten is respect. Of course, you respect your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife but does it always show? This is part of taking them for granted but goes beyond not thanking them or returning loving gestures.
Often, the person we're closest to gets the brunt of our worst days. We might be late for something and keep them waiting, or we might just accidentally be inconsiderate and not apologize enough. Take a lesson from the relationships experts and ask yourself if you treat your partner with the same respect you would treat a parents or co-worker :)
