[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know how to be a good wife. From what I gather, my spouse wants constant praise that he is great, lots of space especially during an argument, and for me to just shut up instead of expressing my opinion a lot of the time. I love my spouse, but I just don't know how to do this. These things seem antithetical to my nature. Do most wives do this? Is there no way I can be a good wife without this? Is there something wrong with me that I have a hard time with this?[/quote]

It sounds like you and your husband do not know how to have disagreements without making them into personal attacks. It also sounds like you have different communication styles e.g., he needs space to process disagreements and you need to communicate with him about them.

No one NEEDS constant praise, but it's not unreasonable to wish your spouse to be affectionate and appreciative of you. As for wanting you to "shut up and not express your opinion" I suppose it depends on what the opinion is that's being expressed. Does it really need to be expressed to your husband or is it a situation where you could just not comment and it wouldn't change anything?[/quote]
