It takes two to tango

So far it may seem that I may be biased towards women in my posts, so now I will place my focus in favour of men as it takes two to tango. It is so easy for women to complain about their men, such as, they are not considering their feelings, or not helping out at home to name a few. Let us look at the other perspective. What would men complain about?
Nagging: This is a common complaint among men. Men hate to be nagged and I am not saying that they do not deserve it at times but as women we need to learn when to pick our battles.

Learn to work with your spouse instead of against him. Women are the backbone of the family, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world so you do have an important part to play in keeping the family together. At times it may seem as if you are doing everything to keep the family together but that comes with being the woman of the house. Women can multitask but not many men have that gift. Try to understand your spouse, his moods, his strengths and weaknesses and work with him to bring out the best in him. Eve was actually made to complete Adam so yes, the role of the woman in the relationship is very important. Women need to understand the importance of their role in the household, you are the one that keeps the family in check and together.
In speaking of knowing your spouse's mood, this is very important in keeping the relationship strong. What are his general activities when he gets home from work? What are the different moods and what do they mean? These are important in knowing how to relate to your man.
Space: Allow him his space and quiet moments. Men do not like when women are constantly in their face. I have heard of so many instances where men are not even allowed their own man cave. Come on ladies, give them their moments and use that time to do something for yourself.
I heard a woman complaining that her man refuses to urinate in front of her. Seriously, how does that become an issue? Secondly, not even that he can get some privacy?
As women we want to be treated with love and kindness and respect, it goes both ways, your man should be treated the same way. It takes two to tango.
Kindness: Be kind to him, in word and in deed. Women will complain about a gift  they got but don't give their man any. He has feelings too and would like to be appreciated too.
If he hates seeing your shoes scattered in the doorway, make the peace, do not keep them there. You expect him to cooperate with you, so cooperate with him as well.
All in all try to create harmony in the home. Yes, it is you the wife who work both outside and inside the home, remember the Parent Teacher meetings and school plays but women were built with the emotional strength to cope.
So, women, when your husband becomes forgetful, don't get upset with him, help him to fix the situation and if you realise that he is forgetful, help him to remember by leaving notes where he will see. Work together to develop a system so he will remember to do what he committed to doing. Try working with him to make your relationship a meaningful and happy one.Remember, it takes two to tango.
