Let’s face it men, when it comes to talking to our wives, most of say the wrong thing and we don’t even know it.
Blogger Kris Dolberry says men often act like Americans travelling to other countries who try to speak the language when they really can’t. They just end up causing problems.
He says its much the same with men talking to their wives. So he’s offering several sentences you should never utter to your spouse. They include:
You’re just like your mother. Translation: “You are turning into everything I hoped you would not.” Even if you really like your mother-in-law, you don’t want to be married to her. Instead remind her that she is your one-and-only love for a lifetime– for better or worse.
You’re too emotional. Translation: “Your feelings are not important. Therefore you are not important.” The fact is, She’s wired that way. Its better to take time each day to tune in, listen to, and affirm her heart.
We should start working out. Translation: “You are revolting. Maybe hitting the gym would make you more attractive to me.” She wants you to see her as captivating. Remind her of it. Often!
My mom never did it that way. Translation: “You are a let down. You can’t take care of things as good as my mom can.” It is critical that you constantly find fresh ways to remind her that she indeed is enough.
Saying Nothing. Translation: “I’m being silent because I don’t care enough about you to empathize with your feelings or share my own.”
