The
union between a man and a woman during marriage is a pact to create
a family life conducive to happiness, comfort and progress for
themselves and their children. But sometimes, one partner such
as the wife becomes a burden to the family particularly the husband.
The following are the types of wife that a man doesn’t want to
have: 1)
Extravagant Wife
There are wives who may be judged to be objectively extravagant.
Their spending or desire to spend goes beyond their husband’s
income. They insist in buying only the best and the most expensive
food, clothing, furniture, appliances, etc. They irresponsibly
plunge their family into debt. They are carried away by the
desire to keep up with their neighbors and have everything their
neighbors have.
2) Economically Dissatisfied
Wife
A wife may not be actually extravagant, but she may become so
dissatisfied with her husband’s income that she gives him no
peace. She compares his income with that of other men whom she
knows or perhaps she could have married, and constantly reminds
him of productive inferiority. She pesters him with orders to
demand a raise, or to change jobs, or take leisure time jobs
until he is almost frantic.
3) Jealous Wife
No wife can help feeling hurt if her husband puts and keeps
her in a secondary place among his human loves. A husband who
neglects his wife because of attachment to his mother or relatives,
is violating justice, and is wrong in brushing off his wife’s
resentment with the charge of jealousy.
But there can be
real jealousy in wives. Wives are generally guilty of this fault
if they resent even the normal ties that their husbands maintain
with their families. They are oversensitive to lack of affection
from their in-laws. Sometimes they see slights and insults where
none were intended by their in-laws. Sometimes too, they even
wrongly insist that their husbands renounce all contact with
their families because of the fancied slights the wives have
received.
Wives too can be
jealous of their husband’s time. We by no means condone the
husband who gives little or none of his free time to his wife,
wither to help her with unending work to share her few leisure
hours. But a wife is guilty of jealousy if she begrudges her
husband an occasional game, outing or socialization.
4) Wife With Wrong
Attitude Toward Sex
Sexual compatibility and cooperativeness is one of the important
keys to a happy marriage. But it is rare to find a perfect sexual
compatibility. The right adjustment must be sought, both to
the duties of the basic contract entered into through marriage,
and to the reasonable needs and wishes of the partner. It is
in this matter of adjustment that many wives fail
5) Escapist Wife
This is the wife who, contrary, to the instincts of most normal
women, has no interest in the work of homemaking and children.
She tries to escape these tasks by assuming all kinds of activities
outside her home. Many a wife who takes a salaried job outside
her home is an escapist wife. They seek escape from their primary
duties through political, social, civic and even charitable
activities. Others still, seek escape through a constant round
of visits to friends, parties, unnecessary trips; anything to
get out of their homes. |
