Common Marriage Mistakes

As a typical man, you are probably making several different mistakes in your marriage that you might not even notice. Correcting these mistakes will go a long way for your wife and for your marriage and that can only mean good things for you. Here are some common mistakes men make in a marriage.

Spending money without consulting the wife. This is a huge mistake and can sometimes be as bad as cheating. You should always consult your wife before making big purchases like buying a new car.

Not understanding her feelings. Many times men will go into a fix-it mode when they see their wife is upset. Instead of talking about hard facts, women want their feelings to be understood and showing empathy is an important thing to do as a husband.

Being sexually selfish. Women are not turned on as easily as men are. It takes affection and a connection before the lights go off in order to make her feel wanted.

Not talking about your own feelings. It is a great thing to listen to your wife’s feelings and understand her, but you should also share your own. Being closed off to her when it comes to your feelings will let her feel that she is missing a real connection with her husband. When the man is withdrawn, she feels like he is leaving her.

Being too demanding. It is natural for a man to feel dominant in a relationship, but being abusive of power can also be damaging to the relationship. Making demands and trying to overpower her will just send her away. Instead, show more care and affection.
