Every wife wants her husband to be happy, right? Sometimes we just don’t know what that really requires. We try and try but sometimes we completely miss the mark. Remember, marriages require work. They require mutual respect, honesty, support and unconditional love. But what happens when one partner doesn’t recognize how destructive they are being?
