This is controversial but hear me out. My grandfather once told me that people are just mammals, primates to be exact. The primate society is ruled with order, established through dominance. Equality in human societies is nothing more than a belief, a fallacy. Hence in any relationship, a woman is looking for security that the man provides for offspring.

A relationship where a man does not provide security or the woman does not feel secure is faulty. Such will result In the woman comparing the man to other men, esp the father, the ex or or the boss. General disrespect for the man even where he tries his best to provide for the family. In short, the woman becomes unruly. I am sure many married men have gone through this phase through their courtship and /or marriage. Yeah that phase where men feel like strangers in their own homes and the wife keeps on saying "my kitchen", "my house" and are tempted to escape to the bars and mipangos just to feel significant and influential.

Before it gets to that point, it is necessary to restore order through a show of dominance. A few slaps, some reflection and a promise that it will not recur if order is maintained is enough to restore the balance.

Word of caution, the show of dominance must be measured and intentional... make it clear that there is nothing personal, just maintaining order among the ranks.

It must not be habitual otherwise bottled anger, feeling of being trapped and resentment will arise. It must not degenerate into a drawn out cat fight otherwise the woman might be left with some doubts that maybe next time she might win.

If a man goes this route, he must also allow the woman's temper to subside, perhaps get a place to crash that night, otherwise he might wake up and find his transformer missing.

^^ words of my now deceased grandfather.

Exactly @Ngogoyo. It has to be implemented methodically. No abuse should be used. But authority should be established. And then love her like crazy, treat her special, listen to her, take her opinions into account while making decisions... But when she crosses the line, be firm and say "no, you cannot accept this!" and leave it there. Do not argue with your wife, she will win the argument and give her false sense of victory, which will undermine good family structure... When you do it right, everyone will be happy, the wife will be happy, the kids will be happy, your parents will respect you including the in-laws...

Redpill/Bluepill philosophy?

There is a fool who has cut the wife's hands because she cannot give birth while tests have shown he is the one with a problem!!!

The lady has confessed to having had an affair and is now heavily pregnant. Still it doesn't justify the brutality meted on her
