The Dream of (Almost) Every Woman

Some women dream of running the world — including running their husbands. But I don’t think those women are in the majority. In my experience — both as a former professor and clinical psychologist, as well as my current role as a marriage educator and coach — most women dream of finding a strong man who is willing to take the lead in their family. Don’t get me wrong. Women are not looking for a man to follow blindly, nor for someone who rules their household with an iron fist. Not. At. All. A woman wants someone who will step up to protect her, provide for her, and take personal responsibility for his relationship with her and with his children. That is, she wants a man who knows who he is and how to guide his family forward with confidence and compassion. Discover exactly what that looks like in this episode.

Why So Many Wives Seem to Be Angry All the Time

Why do so many wives look and sound angry? An angry wife can be very confusing to her husband — mostly because he doesn’t understand what’s really going on in the moment. He doesn’t realize that she uses anger as a defensive strategy. She may not realize it herself. Inside her, something very different is happening — in her heart and in her mind. It all goes back to how different a woman is from a man — a difference that goes beyond the obvious physical differences to include personality traits. Let me explain.

Making Sense of a Woman

A woman isn’t nearly as complicated as her husband thinks she is. Honestly, almost everything she struggles with in her marriage — as even she would admit — is related to one of these three things.
