Okay Ladies, I have a tough question for you today and you can only pick one answer. It’s not going to be an easy decision for you to make because you just like me are going to want both. Unfortunately it doesn’t always work out like that, I won’t say you can never have both but for the most part your going to have to make the tough decision.

RIGHT OR HAPPY? 

So here it is friends, do you want to be right? Or do you want to be happy? I know, your a woman and you want to be right and happy but what if I told you that in order to be happy you have to stop trying to prove you’re right all the time.

If you’re a regular on my site you would know that men have these things called egos. Well that ego of his can make or break the emotional and intimate connection you have with your man. Trying to prove to your man that you are always right is going to drive a wedge in between you.

BUT I AM RIGHT!

I know, your thinking to yourself you have every right to argue that you’re right because you are. Been there girlfriend, I know exactly how you feel. The only problem is, if your right than he has to be wrong. The old me would have gave you a big old high five for proving your man was wrong. The me today, not so much.

I’d rather be happy than right, or I should say I’d rather be happy than prove that I’m right. That is the difference ladies, you can still KNOW what your right but you don’t have to fight to prove it.

RESPECT

Trying to prove to your man or everyone else that you’re right looks a little like disrespect. This is what is really the relationship killer. Remember that ego we keep talking about, well when you disrespect your man your killing that ego. You might as well just stick a dagger right in his heart.

You may be asking yourself what respect looks like to a man so let me help you out just a little bit. Respect for a man means you don’t correct him or tell him that he’s doing it the wrong way even if he is. Respect means that even if he refuses to stop and ask for directions you don’t reprimand him like child. Doesn’t matter if you end up half away across the state, you say nothing. Instead enjoy your quality time in the car together, your adventure might end up giving you a funny story to share.

Respect also looks a lot like accepting your man as he is without trying to change things. Think about it, you chose him for a reason, why would you want to change him? Show respect to your man for who he is.

Knowing that you respect him will stroke his ego, and make him feel that it is safe for him to share more of himself with you. This not only gives you a closer look into your man it also will open the doors to a more intimate relationship and who isn’t longing for a little of that.

WELL?

So ladies now that you know that just by making this one (hard as hell for some) change you could see a dramatic change in your relationship I’m going to ask you the question again. Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy? The choice is yours, I can only share what I know from my personal experiences. Be on the lookout for my personal story coming out soon.

Always keepin’ it short and sweet and until next time friends, Live your happy life 🙂

  1. Beautifully said!! I’m a strong believer of the Bible and it tells us wives to respect our husbands and our husbands to love us. So I totally agree in respecting them and allowing them to feel they are right and not putting up a fight when they aren’t. Many times neither one are wrong just the way our brains out wired makes us feel like our ways are the best ways. Love that you said you may get a fun story out of your adventure. Making the most of life keeps us happy.

    1. Ty, you’re right! The male and female mind are definitely wired differently for sure and that is what gives us our different prospectives. Doesn’t mean that one person is more right than the other. It has taken me over 20 years to figure this out and my conclusion is that I don’t think it’s worth risking my happiness to argue over it. We must learn to choose our battles. I’ve also learned that if you want to be treated like a queen you must treat your mate like a king. Let him think he’s right, let him lead, and show him the same respect you would show a stranger on the street, he deserves that much. Remember a Happy Spouse = a Happy House ❤️

  2. Thank you for the reminder and encouragement. Though I’ve been married for over 40 years and had learned and practiced this, for some reason being right seems to always creep in again. I need the constant reminder. Unfortunately it’s not a popular idea in todays world. Thank you!

    1. Debbie, I totally agree with it not being popular in todays world. It’s probably part of the reason so many people get divorced after such a short period of time. Ladies these days want to be treated as equals instead of treating their men like a king. I used to be that way, it’s taken me 20 years and one hell of an earthquake in my marriage to figure out that it isn’t the way for a happy house. Since I’ve made the changes and show the hubby the respect he deserves my home is the happiest it’s ever been. I treat him like he’s the man of the house, show him respect and appreciation for all that he does and he treats me like his queen and is always my knight in shining armor. Happy Spouse = Happy House ❤️
