It’s so sad that some individuals have made marriage become a lasting nightmare and a pack of regrets for their spouses because of the way they relate to them. I counsel every single and married person reading this to take caution against treating their spouses in a manner that makes them feel stupid. Marriage, as God intended, was not so from the beginning.
Marriage is a union that should be cherished and nurtured under an atmosphere of love, respect, and mutual understanding. In this post, I have listed some of the attitudes and actions that make people’s spouses feel stupid. Every wise partner would steer clear from this anti-marriage attitudes.
1. Talking down to their spouse or using insulting words whenever they are upset by their partner’s attitude or tension at home.
2. Verbally disrespecting your spouse in the presence of children, relatives, or in public.
3. Being secretive with a partner who willingly shares everything from their side because of shared partnership.
4. Taking sides partially with their parents and siblings against their own spouse.
5. Making significant and defining decisions about themselves and the family at large without consulting or reasoning with their spouse.
6. Admiring someone of the opposite sex or spending time with them while their own spouse craves attention and affection back at home. This happens with the spouse’s knowledge.
