Have You Accidentally Become a Bad Wife? with Donna Jones
Hey Friend!
Full disclosure: Today’s episode may feel a little challenging if you're married–it is for me! I decided to tackle this sensitive issue because of an email I received from a distraught husband. I quickly realized his wife probably had no idea how her behavior had contributed to her husband’s dissatisfaction.
And, while I’m aware that a husband’s behavior affects marriage satisfaction, too (believe me, I KNOW!), sometimes it’s good for us as wives to take a closer look at our ways of relating, to make sure we haven’t accidentally slipped into habits that make us difficult to be married to.
Today’s episode discusses five types of women that make “bad “wives.
Don’t get me wrong; I believe that marriage is a team sport meant for equal partners. And we’re human, so none of us will be a perfect spouse. However, if any of these five characteristics become a way of life, it can become problematic. I'm discussing this topic because I simply want us to be aware before that happens so we can be the best wives and women.
xo,
Donna
