The Truth About Happy Wife, Happy Life
Marriage Isn’t About Losing Yourself To Avoid An Argument
You’ve heart it before: “Happy wife, happy life.” Sounds simple, right?
Just keep her happy and it’s smooth sailing.
But let’s be honest.
If you’re constantly bending over backward simply to avoid an argument, what’s left of you?
If “keeping her happy” means lowering your standards or ignoring what matters to you, that’s a joke.
Marriage isn’t about nodding along and saying yes to everything.
It’s about respect.
Your expectations matter too.
If you’re always backing down to keep the peace, eventually, you’re gonna get fed up.
And that’s not a marriage. That’s just avoiding the hard stuff.
So, drop the “happy wife, happy life” nonsense if it’s making you lose yourself.
A real marriage?
It’s not about keeping the peace by throwing yourself under the bus.
It’s about both of you showing up, being honest, and calling each other UP, not out.
