15 Dumb Things Husbands Should Not Do

1. You are the head of the family; this does not mean boss or give orders around the house but to take responsibility and give leadership and direction.

2. Your wife is your help meet not your house help. Because she is not complaining does not mean you should leave everything to her to do. Be responsible, help out in the house. Stop taking her for granted!

3. It is not just your wife’s responsibility to raise and train your children. Your children need more than toys and expensive clothes. They need you and your time. You are their hero, spend time with them. Don’t bring them to this world if you are too busy for them.

4. Why treat other ladies at work, church with respect and courtesy when you disrespect your wife? Stop treating her like trash; you don’t know what you have until you lose it. Oh that’s wrong, someone said, you know but never thought you would lose it.

5. Cheating on your wife does not make you more of a man but less one! Shame! Remember, it’s the same hole; the one outside is not made of gold. Cultivate your wife for any expectation you desire or want.

6. Stop taking your frustration out on your wife and children. They are your world. Stop hurting the people who love you.

7. Stop the boy manifesting in you. If you are keeping malice, scores with your wife, shame on you! As the head, you are supposed take full responsibility for any argument or misunderstanding and be the first to apologise. That’s how you command respect.

8. Stop exchanging words with your wife. You can never win.

9. Be reasonable with your wife. Don’t make her your sex machine or baby machine. Let there be mutual understanding; be sensitive when she is truly tired.

10. Charity begins at home. Stop admiring and paying other people’s wives compliments when you can’t compliment the wife you love or claim to love. Stop the hypocrisy

11. You don’t demand respect, you earn it. I don’t blame the woman if she does not respect you if you never do anything worthy of respect.

12. Stop hanging out with your buddies all the time; go home and hang out with your wife and kids! The reward is priceless.

13. You should never be called a man again if you ever raise your hands to beat your wife. I know there are terrible wives out there that need some beating to set them straight, but just walk away. Your silence is more than the blow, trust me!

14. You don’t invest in your relationship with your wife and you want good dividends? What you sow, you reap my friend! Focus and invest your time, love, affection on your wife; stop investing elsewhere.

15. At least have the decency to thank your wife for holding the family together. Its a hard work to be a woman not to mention wife. Learn to appreciate her for everything, even the ones that seem little or unimportant.
