6. Stop expecting your husband to be the only one in the relationship to admit fault or apologize.
A dangerous double standard has begun to emerge in modern marriage. This certainly isn’t the case in every marriage, and there are still many marriages with a chauvinist husband who makes demands and never admits fault. This new trend seems to make the silent assumption that any time there is something off in the marriage, it must be the husband’s fault. I interact with husbands often who feel that they need to apologize for everything (even when they don’t really understand why they’re apologizing). A healthy marriage must have BOTH spouses who both freely admit fault and humbly seek each other’s forgiveness.
#7 is a constant temptation and it can cause so much frustration in your marriage…
