- LOWER THE TONE OF YOUR VOICE: Don’t shout at her, she is not your housemaid or your child. Correct her with a calm tone in love.
- DO IT IN LOVE: Correction should be done in love. If done in any other way, it turns to criticism and condemnation.
- DON’T CRITICIZE:
Correction and criticism are never the same.
Husband A says, “What manner of food is this?” “Is this popcorn or fried rice?” “How I wish I married a more sensible wife with better home training and who can cook better.”
Husband B says, “Sweetheart this rice is too salty and dry, unlike the one you did yesterday. I think the salt level should be reduced any other time because of our health.”
Husband A criticized, Husband B corrected his wife in love. - PRAISE HER FOR WHAT IS RIGHT
- DON’T CORRECT HER IN PRESENCE OF YOUR CHILDREN
- DON’T CORRECT HER IN THE PUBLIC: it does not show you as a gentleman. It will also affect her self-esteem.
- AVOID CORRECTION IN ANGER: Real men don’t do that.
- DON’T COMPARE HER WITH ANY OTHER WOMAN
- AVOID REFERRING TO OLD ISSUES: Stick to the present issue, discuss like adults and move on.
- DON’T ATTACK HER: Don’t say, “And you call yourself a woman?” “Virtuous women don’t behave like this, you better change before I change you.” This is very wrong, don’t do it.
- DON’T ATTACK HER DIGNITY: Don’t say, “You don’t behave like someone with sense, do you think at all?”
- DON’T ATTACK HER WOMANHOOD: Men are fond of attacking their wives’ womanhood anytime they make mistakes. Don’t say things like, “I don’t blame you, you are just a woman” “Women are not known to be wise”
- GIVE A HELPING HAND: The best way to correct is to lead by example. Step into the kitchen to give a helping hand, don’t just sit in front of the television correcting what goes on in the kitchen.
Wives are doing a great job.
Appreciate yours and support her to be a better wife and good mother to your children.
God bless you for reading.
