Wives if you haven't realized it by now, you have been under a rock but men have egos. This includes tongue talking, Bible reading, Christian men of God. If you try to deny it in any way, shape or form it will raise unnecessary havoc in your marriage.
Wives must realize that men do not like to be told what to do. Even when they are wrong they would much rather let themselves fail and get back up on their own than to have their wives tell them ahead of time. If you don't believe me, think of how many disagreements have happened because husbands were driving somewhere unknown and will drove in a million circles even though the wife knew the correct route. Often times the same thing occurs in daily situations such as financial, economic,and administrative matters. In Ephesians 5:23, " For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, and he is the savior of the body."
There will be times when we have to stroke their egos so that they can continue to follow Christ Jesus and not get in the way. Just as we are to trust the trinity of God, we are to trust our husbands. Trust that your husband will get you through the situation. It is vital that your husband believes that you honor, trust, and respect him according to the word of God.

Love Your Spouse According to God
How many times has your spouse done something that deeply offended, hurt, or disgusted you to the pit of your soul. Have you ever felt dead when you look at them or would rather kiss a venemous snake than them? God is all power and can and will deliver you from all of the above if you delight yourself in the Lord at all times.
In John 15:14, "These things I command you, that you love one another." God just commanded you to love others. God wants you to love unconditionally the way that He loves you. Regardless of what the other has done, said, or even thought they are still a child of God. They were created just as you were created.
Therefore, you must love according to the word of God not according to their ways. In Matthew 5:44, "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who spifefully use you and persecute you." This means that even when things seem impossible and hatefullness, deceit, and despair, are within the situation or circumstance you must love them.
In 1Corinthians 13:4, "Love suffers long and is kind: love does not envy, love does not parade itself, is not puffed up, does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, endures all things." This scripture is one that is commonly quoted, but it is what I consider to be one of the strongest scriptures in the Bible. It expresses the love of God. It is the type of love that should be shared with your spouse.
Love is something that knows no limit, there is absolutely nothing that it can not conquer. God loves each and every one of us for who He created us to be. Love your spouse according to the word of God and where there is death, the Holy Spirit can restore life. God is not concerned with individual ways, so love according to God and not their ways.
Do not misunderstand trust for love. Just because you love someone does not mean that you trust them. If you know someone steals, continue to love them but still watch your belongings. Trust in God at all times. The Bible teaches us that as husband and wife, you are to cleave to one another and become one. There will be problems, trials, and tribulations within your marriage. However, solve them according to the word of God and do not lean to your own understanding. You must put on the full armor of God to fight your battles, not the changing nature of man.
