A husband can be a blessing to a wife. But if they are not good then it becomes a curse for a wife. In building a household, a husband is required to establish a harmonious relationship with his partner. Apart from the obligation to earn a living, a husband is expected to have good characteristics and traits. However, there are still many husbands, especially those who have become fathers, who are not aware of the bad character in themselves and that is very dangerous in domestic relations. Here is a list of 5 bad husband traits that destroy the household
In many ways, Superman is the ideal comic book superhero. In addition to his extraordinary powers – flight abilities, laser eyes, and icy breath – he is brave, compassionate, and selfless. He was so strong that he was basically invincible. But it has a weak point which is kryptonite. Kryptonite is a green crystal-like material from Superman’s home planet, Krypton. But instead of being a reminder of home, it emits dangerous radiation that can weaken or even kill it. Superman better stay away from that.
Husbands can be like Superman. On the other hand, each of us has certain skills and abilities that we should be proud of. On the other hand, we are also attracted to certain traits that are damaging to our marriage. Like kryptonite, the more comfortable we are with these traits, the more they hinder our ability to be good husbands. Here are 5 Bad Characteristics of Husbands that Ruin the Household and should be avoided.
1. Having Too Big Ambition
For many men, our desire to succeed at work can be a huge motivator. It’s great to see your best projects come out, be recognized by others for a job well done, and receive promotions and raises from time to time. But ambition at work can become kryptonite if we let it drive us, consume our free time and distance us from our families, both figuratively and literally. To avoid the trait of being a bad husband, we must try to love our wives as much (or more) than we do at work.
2. Expecting Excessive Satisfaction
Complacency is the subtle and silent enemy of marriage. Being satisfied is the opposite of thinking. Instead of investing heavily in our marriages and trying to love our partners better each day, we grow used to ourselves and stop doing the things that make our marriages work. This could mean choosing not to schedule one-on-one time together, forgoing any form of intimacy, or forgetting to check in every day. We can overcome this bad husband trait by regularly reviewing what we do as husbands and choosing to do simple things every day out of love for our wife.
3. Too Easily Distracted
Whether it’s marketing or constant notifications, we live in a world full of distractions. When we constantly look at our phones, read another article about our favorite sports team, or stay up late playing video games with our partners instead of sleeping, we let the distractions overwhelm us. This is one of the subtle vices of husbands because when we are distracted, we don’t pay attention to the most important thing. We can combat distraction by ensuring that we give our women consistent quality time that isn’t invited by gimmicks and favorite sports teams.
4. Not Keeping Your Eyes on Other Women
While most of us would never imagine cheating on our wives, it happens all too often. Infidelity in marriage begins with a simple compromise that we must avoid in the first place. When we begin to seek the intimacy we should have from our wives, or compare our wives to other wives, we are feeding our husbands’ vices, which can weaken or destroy our marriages. We have to be open, honest, and aware whenever this path starts to seem attractive and make a conscious choice to be with the woman we love.
5. Have High Self Pride
An arrogant man often puts himself on a pedestal to make up for his low self-esteem. This can make him think less of those around him. A proud husband will not face his weaknesses or admit his mistakes. When we are overcome by pride, we can resist the way marriage asks us to be better men. We can also reject our wife. The antidote to pride is humility. We often confuse humility with self-deprecation. But as we have all heard, true humility is not about putting yourself down, but thinking less of yourself.
