How to End a Marriage

 "You're too Stupid to Manage Money"

That was a wife's words to a man who was already depressed because he could not work. He was ill, frustrated with God and at times vented his anger towards God. He tried to help around the house, tried to be a good man and husband, but it was not enough. His depression and anger at God eventually ended the marriage.

Or did it?

Most divorces are initiated by women who point out the man's flaws while minimizes or ignoring their contributions to the failed marriage. There's no excuse for anger towards God, but it does happen. Depression may not be avoidable, but it can be treated.

Both of those can wear down any relationship.

But to insult a man when he is already down is a sure-fire way to tune him out and end the relationship. The moment she called him stupid when he was already down, was the day the marriage ended.

It's a biblical, relational, and psychological truth; insult and nag a man and you can kiss your relationship goodbye. He many not leave you physically, but his heart will be somewhere else. When he finds another woman to do what you were supposed to do, then look in the mirror and ask, "did I do anything to contribute to this situation"? Not saying to excuse adultery or any type of abuse, but just pointing out that a woman's words can make or break a relationship.

You want power as a woman over a man? Then stroke his ego and build him up, especially when he is down. You will have him in the palm of your hand and he will walk on hot coals for you.

If the thought of praising a man is repulsive to you, then perhaps you should consider remaining single.

I know, I know. I can hear the women now.

"Yeah, but men need to do the same towards women". Yep they do. If you are waiting for him to praise you when he's down then why did you marry him? Did you want a personal servant or a personal relationship and commitment. Lift him up when he is down and he will do the same for you. (If he is a normal/healthy man).
