It's not happy wife, happy life. It's happy spouse, happy house. You both matter. Agree or Disagree?

[SolitarySolace]

Agree

Disagree

[Cazaputas]

That is a phrase of submissive men, who allow themselves to be given orders by their wife. I am not a submissive man, nor do I allow myself to give orders to women.

[Billlewis]

Yes, Sir, I just started following you and I'd like to invite you to follow me, as well if you want. Thank you very much.

[SotiCoto]

Disagree, obviously. The house can't be happy. It is a construction of bricks and mortar, among other things. It is incapable of feeling emotions.

[Drumlin2001]

Tel my OH. I hear happy wife happy life a lot, when I turn it around she scoffs

[msc545]

If women are unhappy, they raise hell and make life miserable. If men are unhappy, they shut up and bear it.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Very true, but if I'm not having fun then she isn't having much more persistence in my life. I don't need to put up with another person's BS on a massive level to seek out happiness. I can be happier alone. There's going to be peace at home one way or another, the only thing up in the air is whether she'll be around for it or not.

[msc545]

Good point!

[sheikalana]

Absolutely agree! A marriage is not solely about the wife. Husbands are as important as wives.

[genericname85]

i mean if you're single, you can just be happy with no conditions attached to your happiness xD

[lightbulb27]

I think happy wife happy life. If wife is happy, I can be happy. If she's not happy, I'm gonna suffer and difficult to be happy.

The woman steers the emotional ship. I'm glad my wife is consistently, very happy!

[SolitarySolace]

That sounds like a really unhealthy relationship

[_justimagineit_]

If women are unhappy, they raise hell and make life miserable. If men are unhappy, they shut up and bear it.

[Billlewis]

Yes, ma'am, this ^^^ comment just made me start following you, and I'd like to invite you to follow me as well if that's alright. Thank you very much.

[Flatmanlewis]

Wow. This is actually kind of profound and even more so coming from a woman.

[SolitarySolace]

What kind of man would want to stay in a marriage where he is unhappy but has to shut up and bear it?

[normww]

Of course both partners must be happy and see to each others happiness.

[strateguy632]

in my wish world.

[exitseven]

it is happy wife , happy life.

[Yannae]

So many disagree. Sad.

[Unit1]

THAT is the key!

[OddBeMe]

Sure. But wives have an edge.

[SolitarySolace]

How so?

[OddBeMe]

Sex.

[SolitarySolace]

How does that give them an edge?

[OddBeMe]

Supply and demand.

[SolitarySolace]

I don’t get it

[OddBeMe]

You don’t get supply and demand?

[SolitarySolace]

I don’t get what supply and demand has to do with sex

[OddBeMe]

Who wants sex more, men or women?

[SolitarySolace]

Depends on the person. I’m asexual and a man I don’t enjoy Sex and I’ve met a lot of men both online and in person who don’t like sex either. Meanwhile women consider sex to be rape

[OddBeMe]

Ahh asexual. That explains the miscomprehension.

I would argue men are more physically interested in sex, while women take a more emotional approach. you're right, it’s ultimately down to the individual. I've asked this Q numerous times and many women claim to have raging libidos.

But I think there is an argument that men have higher “natural” (or untriggered) libido. Women need revving.

[SolitarySolace]

Alright, now back to the original question what does anything of this have to do with “happy wife happy life” vs “happy spouse happy house”?

[OddBeMe]

Wives will use sex to control hubbies, darling.

[SolitarySolace]

Ah, ok. I agree with that.

[lil_will_12]

yes, some, not all though. i find it a bit cruel to group every wife into that generalization.

[OddBeMe]

@lil_will_12 I will group all racists and sexists into the same category and disparage them to my hearts content! Lol

[PrettyCrumblBb]

Yes both matter. And the kids matter too

[handsomelad70]

Yep.
