The "happy wife happy life" idiom is a fantasy.
Women need to know that you'll protect them, won't take sh*t, and are assertive and confident. They "like" being put in their place. That doesn't mean you slap them around, or be rude and not be romantic.... once you figure this out it'll be a lot easier for you.
Next time your wife yells at you for something you did, especially if it wasn't your fault, give it back to her and
make her apologize to you in an aggressive and assertive manner. After you accept her apology, she'll be lovey-dovey for the rest of the day.....
I didn't create the image below.....it's just the way it is.
