What should you do if your wife gets mouthy, and talks back to you when you tell her to do something? I know back in my grandfather's day, you could spank your wife with a switch as long as it wasn't bigger than the size of your thumb. I know that that is not accepted to much anymore unless you go to other parts of the world. I just don't like my wife talking back to me, im not abusive or anything, but it really pisses me off! Any suggestions please.

Tell her how much it really pisses you off. And try to find out how it became such. Analyse. Besides, im sure there must be a reason why she started to reply back... perhaps she has some tension of her own, perhaps she needs some love and is frustrated that you tell her to do this or that, or just she has some little grudge against you or something... it happens.
Talk to her lovingly, that will help. Tell her how much you care for her also.

Your not going to be able to win this battle. You cant live with them and you can't live without them. I know it pisses you off. But If you really think about it NOBODY CAN MAKE YOU MAD BUT YOU.
They ALL grip. Just do what I do and let it go in one ear and out the other. Then try to become a actor. and apologize to her and tell her shes right. IF you don't she wont cook or give you some. If you know what I mean. LOL good luck

Just listen to her....she might be making more sense. as a husband i'll mind my own language first to make sure that i m not rude or annoying to her. there is nothing wrong asking ur spouse to do something for you (if u cant do it for yourself or lets say ur feelin lazy or moody and just need someone to take care) but ask it with love. Request her. dont ever command her....just keep in mind that she is ur partner not ur slave. so be wise and treat her with love, respect and gentleness. ur her husband and i dont know if u know this or not but a "husband" means a whole lot of thing for a woman ....her protector, her nurturer, her guide, her philosopher, her partner, her FRIEND and LOVER. he is everything to her....atleast thats how a woman feels (if not all women but a majority) and thats why she looks upto her man. i think we men have great qualities in us and i bet we can do much better than just being bossy. so instead of blaming her try to be a good example to her and she' ll learn from u and in course reflect back these same good qualities to u.
remeber she is ur wife and ur the biggest influence in her life so try to use it to ur advantage and influence her positively. u' ll ripe the benefits for a lifetime and she would love u, trust u and above all would respect u. and when that happens u dont even need to ask her to do anything but she herself will do all and more for u on her own just out of love.
so go ahead and now on try to be a good husband...best of luck..

Divorce your wife because she obviously has a mind of her own and doesn't need to married to someone who sees her as an obaying woman. Then go marry so girl in another part of the world who will not talk back to you. Good Luck.

It sounds like you and your wife have communication problems. Perhaps an apology and expression of love for her might help a lot. If you're not able to solve the problem by yourselves, I recommend marriage counseling with a competent counselor or ecclesastical leader.

I'd suggest marriage counseling. Perhaps your requests are too extreme or the manner in which you ask her is offensive. Maybe she is tired of you telling her to do everything while you sit around. Respect is something that needs to be earned. Physical violence is not the answer to anything.

lol...............I didnt know that we wives couldnt talk back to our husbands.
Where are you from???
In which planet do you live??
Wake up....we are in the 21th century...
Why a woman has to keep shut up only bcoz you talk??
dont you mistake??
It seems to me that you are acting bad. Women have the own way of think.. We dont need you think for us. In spite of being wife and husband.....we still are ONE person.
and as a person our thoughts have to be respected.
You are not her owner......and she is not ur maid......so try to learn to share the things, starting for the way of talking.
By the way.......i've been married for the last 32 years........and if i dont agree with my husband..i reply him back, in spite of he likes it or not..
It is not about if YOU DONT LIKE IT.. it's about that she is not a sclave..a servant or a dog.....She is ONLY......your wife
By the way....how long have you been married?..Poor ur wife !!!!!

I am revising my answer since you thought it necessary to email me in order to criticize and proclaim that you are the boss in your family.
Your email included this statement...
"...but in this Marriage, IM THE MAN, not her, that means im the one who makes the decisions."
My attitude has changed since receiving your email.
I really didn't think uneducated and backward Neanderthals like you still existed. I feel sorry for your wife. I hope she isn't forced to kiss you while you chew your plug of tobacco. Yuck.
I don't know how they do things in Muleshoe Arkansas (or where ever it is your mother and her brother conceived you), but the rest of the world has evolved beyond cave-dweller behavior.

Sounds like you might need some anger management classes. She's your wife, not your dog or cat.
