why wife  wants to be superior than her husband?
340922
If this is your wife?  If so, what are the indications she does this?  Superior in what ways?  Career?  Intelligence?  Looks?  Many women are indeed "superior" to many men in these areas.  If you happen to be married to one of these over acheivers, you just have to suck it up and deal with it and count your self fortunate you made a wise marriage choice.

Unfortunately ,it is human nature for people to want to feel superior over someone else.  Racism is only one way of doing this.  There is also sexism, classism, agism.  I am biracial, and when my parents married in the '60's, trust me, it was not a good situation to live through.  But, they did it and have been together for 40 years. My maternal grandfather was a racist through and through (disowned my mom for marrying a black man; thought all black men wer pimps, rapists, robbers, or in jail - images he constantly saw on t.v through t.v. shows and the news) until he met my dad.  Then he changed his mind completely.  Thought my dad was the smartest man he had ever met. Sometimes it's just complete ignorance (as with my grandfather).

They are equal before God but are given different roles.  One is not inferior to another.  \n\nMen must be responsible for the financial and spiritual well-being of the family.  If he is unable to do either, he is technically not allowed to marry.  The wife's money stays with her, she is not obligated to use any of it to support the family.  That's his job.  \n\nMen are to treat their wives as a jewel in their hands.  \n\nI think I'd much rather be a woman than a man...less pressure, fewer responsibilities.  In return all I'd have to do is to make family life pleasurable and the home a safe haven.  Not a bad deal I don't think.

Here's the thing...God is way wiser than any person, including Muhammad.  God would know that if something like that were permissable, then people would misuse it to enslave women/their wives.\n\nTherefore, it is not a hadith that woman bow down before her husband.  'I would have' is not the same as 'I do order'\n\nInstead, wives are required to respect their husbands...that's nothing new and revolutionary.\n\nAnd husbands are to love their wives.  God knows what He's talking about when he prescribes behaviour to married people.  The same mesasge is contained in the Bible.

I looked it up and I dont see anything wrong with it. Most guys are willing to let the wife lead in all roles. Well, maybe mine is. lol.\nIf your wife doesnt mind and is willing to be the leader, tehn why not?

Times have changed. Men no longer have to work and be the head of household. If this bothers you so much, why don't you talk it over with your wife? Maybe she doesn't realize that she is "in charge" so much. Some guys need that extra push or the reasurence that someone else will take care of it. Has your wife always been "stronger" than you, or did she just resently buff up? If she has always been like this, then you  knew about it before you said "I do." I am not stronger than my husband, but I do wear the pants. He knows this and he is ok with it. We do not think that he is "P.W." but he just needs someone to tell him and guide him in the right direction. If this doesn't bother you, then let it be. If it does, then just talk to her.

I agree.  Women not only get more bold with you but they check your wife out a lot I suppose to see the competition.  These kind of women also seem to be the ones most likely to get jealous when their own boyfriends or husbands look at other women.  Maybe it's true that the jealous types are that way because they know what's really going through other peoples minds because it's the same as their own.

It's because back then civilization saw women as inferior and merely property pieces of the men they married. You can see this through just about any literature up until about the 19th century. Men saw themselves as superior to women, and this is of course reflected in the bible.

No thank God.  My wife is way out of my league.  She is beautiful, smart, kind, well organized and clean.  Her only fault is that she married me.  I'm the luckiest man in the world.  By all rights she should have never even given me a look.  I honestly can't think of even one thing in which I would come close to being her equal.  If you want my advice you should always try to marry way over your head, like I did.  That way you always have a great role model and something to strive for.

unfortunately there are many of us,who never in our wildest dreams imagined that we would be in a positon like this, because we know better than that and whatever other superiority/inferiority/moral/commonsense/self preservation issues we may carry,however many of us wake up one day in your shoes and ask how did I get here?\nWe are our own worst enemies when we allow fear or insecurity to dictate the terms of our relationships ,being afraid to rock the boat or disturb what is comfortale is complicitness and like contempt it is a virus that destroys marriages and friendships\nby fearlessly communicating and negotiating a tolerable arrangement for our needs and desires that we should not have to always compromise and by having seperate as well as shared social lives like healthy individuals instead of being insecure demanding balls and chains who refuse to provide for our selves what we demand from our mate,we avoid situations like yours \nunfortunately more of us learn this lesson the hard way ,and what needs to be discussed is your non existent relationship that is independent of the other woman ,in other words the fact that she exists has no bearing or influence on the relationship you dont share with your wife,it would be where it is whether this person existed or not,good luck in what ever you decide is right for you ,\nblaming yourself or your wife is futile and will do nothing for you ,if you want to find forgiveness in your heart for your wife and yourself then you will resolve to communicate effectively,reject guilt and blame from either party,and honor yourself by being who you are and not who someone else wants you to be or become and allowing yourself to see your wife as the imperfect and acceptable human that she is not the image of unmet expectations and judgements you see as you underestimate the person you married,who has a difficult time taking anyone including you,seriously for having traditional values that tend to support and make male hypocrisy a social norm, but expecting a person to give what you will not and forgive what you never will and judging or labeling this person for behaving the same way you do,and expecting someone you consider to be the weaker of the sexes to be the emotionally strongest is a dehumanizing experience for many women ,who sometimes spitefully watch you cut yourown nose off because they feel you deserve the confused misery your closed minded assumptions created ,and she maybe unwilling to be anything but curt or patronizing towards you or fed up with your self serving behavior,and this may be bewildering for some and you may also be fed up with her pasive aggressiveness,dramatic,or exaggerated responses,her stupidity,being treated like a walking wallet or a child all of these issues are due to our failure to communicate effectively ,to see each other without judgement or stereotype,and based on unrealistic societal standards and norms that were internalized instead of addressed and when then respect in your marriage is gone your marriage is over. if you still treat each other with and have respect for each other than your marriage has the potential to weather any crises such as this one, survive,grow or thrive,as long as both parties fight for their needs by objectively and actively communicating with the shared goal of finding an acceptable resolution\nlove is not something that must be worked or focused on because whether you like,love,adore,loathe or fear your spouse you will love this person even when you despise this person the most because love lasts ,this is why battered children stiil love there parents and love has nothing to do with your marriage problems and you will most likely end up developing the same problems and similar relationship wth the next person until you resolev your problems in your marriage by standing up to and addressing every issue and deciding together to resolve the marriage and or your friendship or any other possible outcomes,by letting things happ

Not all women are like dt,some are alittle submissive.\nThis questions is the same as,Why men are so egoistic,bossy n chauvinist? wen its not necessary.The wife wil not look dwn on her man.

That is so because man is by nature not satisfied. Whether with money, material things, honor, prestige, and women. Money and women are the general weakness of many because they are the most tangible objects that have become status symbols. You cannot carry a badge or trophy or certificate telling the world that you are this and that. But with a woman, it not only proves the man's virility or machoism, it also means he is above other men in that he is attractive and capable of having more inspite of his having a wife already.

HAving a spouse who is more successful threatens their masculinity. A lot of men feel that they  should be the provider and if the wife is earning more this can make them feel like they're a failure.  Sounds like your husband may be feeling resentful of your income and success and is trying to sabotage that - you need to have a long honest talk with him, maybe draw up a budget and set some ground rules on spending.

Neither one is more superior than the other.  Each sex thinks different and are capable of different things.  We depend on each other to reproduce and to have an emotional bond.

Why shouldn't she be the head of the family?  Maybe her talents lie in organization and delegation of authority.  Ever thought of that?  \n\nHaving been raised Southern Baptist in the South, and having left the church long ago, I don't subscribe to the sexist notion that just because you have a penis, you get to be in control, and just because she has a vagina, she has to submit to that control.  What were cultural norms 5,000 to 6,000 years ago for a nomadic desert people don't work well and seem quite ridiculous in 21st century America.  People should do what they know how to do and what they are good at.  And let's face it, in 21st century America, thanks to feminism, humanism, the birth control pill and education, there are women out there who are good at taking the reins and being the boss.  \n\nIt's not a reflection on you as a person or you as a man if your wife is better at running the household than you are.  Why not just enjoy it?  Give up some of that patriarchal need for control, and let her do what she's good at.  Maybe she's good at balancing the checkbook, socking some money away for savings, and budgeting.  Maybe you're not so good at this.  It'd work in your favor to let her use her strengths for the good of your household.  \n\nIt takes a strong, confident person to be open-minded enough to put aside old habits and patterns of thinking.  One of those habits is gender stereotypes.  Men are not always strong, dominant, in control.  Women are not always weaker, passive, and docile.  We all have our strengths and talents as humans first.  \n\nGood luck with breaking out of old molds, and welcome to the 21st century. :)\n\nCheers, K

It's the challenge of being better than him to steal you away, proving he is more worthy, for some guys it's ALWAYS about competition, I don't know why they don't measure themselves in public with as much as they compete.

Well, being a young woman waiting on the husband that God has for me, I can see precisely what you are saying. I am a confident young lady and yes I have had the upper hand with most of the men that I have dated. But I do not believe that it is because I am pushy. I believe that men have lost their rightful place in the household, men need to grow some backbone and stop letting women run all over them. I am not saying that a man should be violent to hold his place. He shold be firm yet gentle. Women also need to stop jumping into marriages that God didn't have favor over so then they would not have to show thier witts so much because the man that God has for them will respect them for what God has made them to be (by then, they woman will have already found herself). I am tired of my female friends who always have the same man problem when they need to find God and find who he made them to be. No man wants an annoying woman andthat is stated in the Bible because Solomen said it is is better to live on the corner of a rooftop than in a house with a quarrelsome wife.
