Think about what your husband has said instead of reacting hastily
How often do you react to what your husband has said without thinking about it first? Moreover, how often have you overreacted?
Engaging your mouth before you engage your brain is one of the biggest causes of petty arguments in a marriage.
If you stop and think before you react, you will eliminate lots of petty arguments from your marriage.
A calm, considered reply will be received better by your husband; he will listen and be more likely to see your point of view when you talk to him calmly instead of an instant heated reply.
Often when you stop and think you will react entirely differently, you will see that what your husband has said is not as bad as you first thought and is not worth an argument and in many cases he is probably right to have said what he said.
When you don't stop and think before replying you are creating a more relaxed atmosphere in the home, instant heated replies cause unnecessary tension and in some cases, the husband will feel you are trying to take away his authority.
A husband who is new to this lifestyle and still adjusting to being HoH will feel threatened and confused by this, while a husband who is sure of his position in the home may take a firm stand on this and deal with your behaviour accordingly.
Remember: Engage your brain before your mouth
