That does not mean that the wives cannot take the advices as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep Quiet About Your Marriage Issues<\/strong><br \/>\nYour first instinct after having an argument with your wife, might be to turn to friends and family to vent. It might seem like a good idea at the time when you\u2019re full of emotions, and you need to let off some steam, but it\u2019s not healthy for your relationship. Consider these factors before telling others about the problems in your marriage\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Biased opinion<\/strong> &#8211; No matter who\u2019s to blame for the argument that you and your wife got into, your family and friends will almost always take your side. They\u2019ll be more inclined to agree with you, for the obvious reasons. They won\u2019t want to upset you or tell you where you might have gone wrong, or that the argument is petty. Instead, they most likely will agree with what you\u2019re saying, and this doesn\u2019t help anybody.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Resentment towards your wife &#8211;<\/strong> Telling your family and friends what a bad person your wife is for upsetting you, can cause your family to build resentment towards her, because they\u2019re only hearing your side of the story. When you\u2019re upset it\u2019s going to come out bad, and you might end up making the argument sound worse than it really is. Naturally, your family and friends just want to protect you, therefore, they\u2019re more likely to take your side, and possibly resent your spouse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Guilt &#8211;<\/strong> After all is said and done and you\u2019ve made up with your wife, you could end up feeling guilty about telling other people. Even if you didn\u2019t intend to make your partner look bad, it\u2019s only natural for some people to think that you\u2019re being treated unfairly. It might also make your partner feel uncomfortable that you\u2019re involving your family, in sensitive matters like this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Wrong advice &#8211;<\/strong> Getting the wrong advice can cause even more conflict because you might take other people\u2019s advice and run with it, and sometimes that advice is not always the best. You want to make sure that you\u2019re talking to someone who you trust very well, and who has your best interest (and your marriage) at heart.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this doesn\u2019t mean that you shouldn\u2019t seek help if the situation reaches a dangerous level. In that case, speak to people who can do something about it like a senior Aalim or a counselor. There is no benefit in speaking to friends and family just to vent or to \u2018show her a point\u2019. Remember that you and your spouse are in this together, and that it\u2019s normal to argue, and doesn\u2019t always mean that you\u2019re in a bad marriage. Every couple has their disagreements, and it\u2019s not uncommon to not speak to each other for a few hours until you\u2019ve both cooled off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the context of Women\u2019s Week, these advices will be directed at the husbands.
