1. Being too critical of her husband
A healthy amount of criticism is healthy in a marriage. However, like most things, too much of anything is bad, especially when it comes to criticism.
Too much criticism might make your husband feel inferior, inadequate, or even make him lose motivation to improve himself. It's important to be sensitive when it comes to criticism, as even if you're already married, it's no excuse to be insensitive towards your husband.
2. Being a control freak
In married couples, it's normal for sometimes the wife to ask her husband to do things, and vice versa. However, if asking simple requests turns into completely bossing your husband around, then it starts to become a problem.
Even in a marriage, being independent is important. You don't have any right to control what your husband says or does, just like he doesn't have any control over what you say or do. A healthy respect for boundaries is necessary for any marriage to work.
3. Not listening to your husband's opinions
In any decision you make, you should always consider how your husband will feel, and how it will affect your relationship with your husband. It's important to talk to your husband when making big decisions, such as when it comes to work related decisions, or financial decisions.
For married couples, decisions have to be agreed upon by the couple, and it's important to always talk to your husband, and take his opinions into consideration whenever you're making a big decision that affects your family.
4. Expects too much from her husband
It's totally normal to expect some things from your husband, such as having a good job, pushing themselves to follow their goals, etc. However, it's important to be realistic when it comes to those expectations.
Pushing your husband to do better and work harder is important, but it has to be within reason.
5. Gets angry at the smallest things
Some women really just have a short fuse. However, it's not an excuse to get mad at your husband for the smallest things. It's important to keep your cool, in order to avoid making things much more complicated, or having unnecessary fights with your husband.
Just relax, take a deep breath, and calm down.
6. Constantly lies to her husband
In any marriage, lies are always a bad thing. Lying to your husband means that you don't trust him, or you have a tendency to keep secrets from your husband.
Constantly lying to your husband can eventually lead to worse things down the road, so if you have a habit of lying to your husband, it's best to quit as early as possible, and start being more honest with your spouse.
7. Doesn't respect her husband
In a marriage, respect is extremely important. Being respectful towards each other means that you understand and admire each other's qualities. It means that you always take their feelings into consideration, and do your best not to do anything that might hurt your spouse's feelings.
