Lol, i think that you realize that deep down, there's nothing you can do other than venting your anger. If you overdo it, you just might end your marriage

End marriage, end marriage, dts so common in the day to day vocab of our generation. My dear I wud marry a man that venting my anger and evn overdoing it would never end our marriage. We would always walk thru the hard times tgedr. Ending d marriage would nevr b d solution to our issues.

can you just read what you wrote again.i think what is getting you scared is the idea that your husband is your head,because i can see dat we r saying the same thing.when he comes,home with a problem,what do you do?you discuss it,this is where you state your opinion and how u feel abt it.then because u r able to convince him,he gives into you,but if you cant convince him,he wont give in.this is where his authority as the head comes in.

He should actually just inform her. And unless she has a big issue with it, she should agree. I like informal couples, d tin be say when na the woman's turn to bring her own guests, na inform she go inform the man o.

Bros, you need to try comedy.

We are definitely not saying same thing.

So when he is 'giving into' me, he is no longer the head?

We all know a wife can't just bring a family, not even a friend, to stay over for few days without consulting the husband first.... Now base on the society we are, as an African, wives are generally submissive to their husbands. So is it appropriate for an husband to bring a friend from another city (or friends from anywhere) who called that he's coming to stay two days in their house to execute a project in their city without first seeking approval from the wife? And if he seeks her approval and the wife says no or not this time, what should he do?

The word approval may not be the right word but neither of the spouse can allow a friend or visitor to sleep over in their house without both of them agreeing on such gestures.

The husband is the head and the wife should submit.there can be no two heads in a family.he should always inform her and listen to her own opinion,but the final decision should be left with him.

And when the visitor comes, he can decide to take care of him all by himself.

You tell me. You said women who claim equality with their husbands are looking for trouble. That infers a woman is not equal to her husband. Now I ask if a woman is inferior, you said no... she is 'strong'. I ask again... if a woman is not equal to her husband, is she inferior to him?

misreal:
hahahaahah......winks...or you just hate the idea that the final decision is left with your husband.

This is not about what I 'hate' or what I 'love'. There is no 'final' decision the way we operate

I have already told you we discuss issues like two mature adults and come to a conclusion to what is best for our family. No ego tripping, No I am the head you are the tail thingy. What is best for us at that point in time.

misreal:
i rest my case.

Please do.

At the end of it all, the way MY family is run doesn't add N1 to your account.

Seriously when I read certain threads, I can't stop thanking God for my wonderful husband. ..

How can people be debating on this issue? You'll bring in someone into the house you both share without her approval . .. God help y'all... dictatorship isn't headship...

hmmmmmmm...i get your point madam..from the way u souding,i can tell u r angwi..please dont be angwi my friend,we r just airing our opinions...liike av always said,it is only a foolish man who thinks being the head,gives him the right to ignore his wife and treat her like trash.a true leader listensss..the fact that your husband sits with you to discuss family matters,shows that he is a good head/leader..but dont forget that he is your head,so anyday he disagrees with your opinion/decision,then u just av to submit to his will and hope things works out well..take note,you r not inferior in anyway to your hubby,just becos he is ur head.....i hope we gud now my friend.

She is no robot because she is submissive,she shows strength by doing so. That makes me love her and I try not to fail on my own part. wink grin

For you to say a woman is submissive, I feel for what you must have put her through already.

I never thought I would see you call a woman submissive.

it really bothers me that most ladies commenting on this thread are craving for equality in marriage i.e man equals woman..well i dont blame them at all,its just that many of them dont know what it means to be submissive,neither do they know the power of a submitted wife...marriage is like a kingdom ruled by a king(husband).decisions are delibrated by the counsel of elders(wife),where everyone of them is allowed to make meaningful contributions.the final say is with the king.a wise king surrounds himself with wise men,but what do you think will happen if every elder chooses to act as the king?..ur guess is as good as mine....chaos.......women,no matter how hard you debate this matter,you can never be the head of your husband,you can only help him make wise decisions..dont quote me if u will abuse me.

By your words, a king doesn't inform the wise men, he consults them for direction. If he always turn down the advice of the wise men cus he's the king, there will be chaos.

Re: Is It Polite For Husband To Seek Wife's Approval On This? by byvan03: 7:24pm On Mar 03, 2016
If she says no, pay for a hotel room. Everything mustn't be an issue. A man with enough sense should know that his door isn't entirely open to friends anymore, especially when you have kids around.

Not really seeking her approval. But getting her informed and hearing her opinion. She may just give u a side to it you may never have thought of.

Looks more like my moms version of thought.

if he finds his wisemen,unwise he can do away with them or simply ignore them..evry wise man listens to his wife,if his wifes counsel is wise.then his decision will be based on what his wife says..a wife should understand that her place is to give wise counsel and try to persuade her husband,not to rule and unrule as she pleases.....

We call those type of kings over sabi or I too know.

Any man who feels his wive's advice is foolish is the bigger fool for marrying a foolish woman.
