Do you believe in controlling your wife and why?

Answer 1

The need to control another human being indicates a very insecure individual who doesn't have the ability to control themself. We are not here to control one another but rather bring out the best in one another and encourage each other to be live to our fullest potential. Men or Women who feel the need to control other people are cowardly and don't feel good about themselves and should not enter into relationships until they deal with their own unresolved issues

Answer 2

My husband doesn't control me. I would be very difficult to control, he says. Haha. We both agree the days of the wife staying home and keeping up the house are over.

Answer 3

No. I was a wife who was controlled by her husband. I spent 18 years in purgatory before I finally got out. Marriage should be built on mutual respect and teamwork, not on one person being the boss and the other person being submissive all the time.

Answer 4

If you control your wife, then you are just a weak man who needs to destroy what he has to feel big. In a good marraige, a man does not control his wife, he respects her and treats her as an equal. In some relationships, the woman may willing offer control, to submit to her husband, but not because he demands it, but because she trusts and loves him. Some churches teach that submitting is required of a good wife, but they also teach that the man has to submit to God and be a good husband, too.

Answer 5

Absolutely not. Let's ignore the damage I would do to someone I love by dominating and controlling her. Ignore the loss of self esteem she would suffer. The uselessness and emptyness she would feel. Let's talk about utter, total selfishness on my part.
I trust my wife. Not just in terms of fidelity. I trust her judgment. I trust her heart's in the right place. I trust her perspective, even though it's different than mine. I value her opinions.
She and I have the same fundamental goals and outlook on life, but we each have different interests. As man and woman, we have different values. We see things differently. Merging those different perspectives, those different viewpoints, even those different goals makes a very powerful team. Much, much stronger than if I was "in charge" of everything. If I made her a submissive little piece of me, I'd lose the huge value she brings to our life. That would be utterly stupid.
Finally, in order to control another person you have to dominate them... bend them to our will. There's only one reason a man would want to do that: if his self esteem was so low that he had to bring someone else down in order to make himself look bigger. A strong man would never need to feed a tender ego by oppressing another. He doesn't need it.

Answer 7

NO/// I treat her as I want to be treated. We do have times when we do not agree but we work it out. Sometimes I win but more often she wins.That's because i do not want a fight unless it is something real important to the family, then I will fight for it. We always come to a final decison togeather.that is why we have a happy 42 year marriage.

Answer 8

No... it's a sign of total insecurity with oneself... Not mentioning lack of trust and love for one's wife... Tell him to get a dog or a goldfish if he needs to feel powerful...

Answer 9

My husband says no...you need respect not control

Answer 10

No. She can and will be your best friend, lover and just someone you want to see everyday. All you have to do is put her up on the pedestal she belongs on. Try to do what she does everyday. You would see.
