Do you believe in ‘happy wife, happy life’?

I think it’s a bad message as it’s so one-sided

It’s bad

It’s good

It’s very bad, but it’s a sound reflection of gynocentric nature of our society. Only women’s happiness matters, at the expense of men AND children.
I once met a young couple who adopted the modified version, “Happy spouse, happy house!”. I liked them. They didn’t have kids at the time, but i expect they will have a very harmonious relationship and happy, well adjusted kids.

I couldn't tell, because I never had been a wife.

From my earlier divorce experience, I believe to see a few reasons to not believe in this.

The phrase is meant to refer to the fact that, in a patriarchal society, the happiness of your wife is important because it would be so easy for her to poison you and take your estate while in mourning. Aqua Tofana existed for 3 generations of women for a reason.

Let’s be Frank…. It works to a extent. If you marry a woman whose greatful and ours the same effort into making you happy as you do her…. Absolutely.

But most men who live by this motto tend to be in very toxic relationships and are miserable. Most men who gave me this advice are now either divorced or in a bad spot in marriage. They just please their wives so they won’t make their lives anymore of a living hell then it already is…. And most narcissistic women are not pleasable. Neither is a narcissistic man.

Women in toxic relationships can also do this. Excuse bad behavior and think if you just love him more do more for him he will love you. It’s the same mindset. Do more and more for her…. Show more investment and she will love me again. And that’s just not true.

"Happy Spouse, Happy House" seems better.
