I really don’t care too much for Sweet Lady Jane’s pastries. But if I let my wife choose where we go out, her eyes go sparkly. She becomes Sweet Lady Dianna.
If the husband insists on making every decision, he will sour his marriage, frustrating needlessly his wife. If you insist on making EVERY decision, you ultimately harm your own leadership. You show your self-centeredness, which diminishes your love.
Go where you don’t like. Go out on a date where she likes.
This goes for the ladies doing what their husbands like to do sometimes too. I am guilty of wanting to do what I want only sometimes. 🙂
Hubby would probably like this, honestly, as he TRIES to get me to choose and I hem and haw and finally say, “Whatever YOU want, honey!”, people pleaser that I am. Lol
Smiles
Wise decision there LOL
🙂
We do need to be up front about what our preferences are, too. There’s no point in doing what the song from My Fair Lady says, ending up doing what neither likes at all.
Haven’t read the book
Not a book, a movie.
Oh
This is such a sweet and loving post. The Bible tells us to submit to one another in love, out of reverence for Christ {Eph 5:21}, which means to consider our mate’s desires, first. Life just goes so much more smoothly when we put go that extra step!

So sorry. Try letting jesus change him

Here’s another marriage secret: Enjoy it. Enjoy your time together, in spite of all his imperfections. You’re way ahead of most of the bloggers. You’re still married!
oh, thank you . hope we can iron out our differences in the end . But, he works abroad that is the problem .Thank you, for the great advice.

I am blessed with a husband who wants to please and lets me choose regularly. He really doesn’t have a preference anyway…he just wants food!! 😉
