Which ideology do you most agree with if any? We've heard the first one many times before. However, studies are recently showing the latter is most true. An unhappy man leads to an unhappy home. I can see how this would apply if a man lost his job and was used to being the breadwinner, etc.
I don't necessarily think one is more correct than the other, but I generally get the impression most guys will compromise in favor of the wife, more often than not. I don't necessarily think the wife would always get her way, however. It would mean, for example, she would get a newer car, and he would get a used one, or keep his old one longer, if the couple can't afford two new cars; everything else being equal.
Thoughts?

I think they are both equally right, and both should be applied as appropriate for the situation.
I don't see how they have to be mutually exclusive.

I think now more than ever it's Happy Husband, Happy Home. There are more "house husbands" and unemployment is still a major issue.
Men may tie their self worth with their jobs and income.

I think all three justify childish behavior by a spouse when they do not get their way. Enough said.

I don't have experience with being married so I can't say I agree with any of them.

I dislike that phrase,because it can make the said woman into a terrorist. I believe your spouse should be concerned about your happiness,but within reason.A person can make 100% effort to make a person happy,but it's the other person choice to be. |

I like being happy. I like it when hubs is, too. If one of us is not, then we fix it.
