With wives, men hide behind the air of bravado, which is basically a defence mechanism, I think. Clever creatures, women. Very clever.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For the several thousands of years before they became firefighters and physicians, women were sirens, enchantresses, snares. At times it seems as if female powerlessness is male self-preservation in disguise. And for millennia, this has made for a zero-sum game: A woman's intelligence was a man's deception.
Men generally are afraid of a wife who has more understanding than themselves.
The male, for all his bravado and exploration, is the loyal one, the one who generally feels love. The female is skilled at betrayal and torture and damnation.
Thirty years ago, there was definitely a huge difference between men and women, and the man wanting to feel like the protector, and not scare the wife.
There are but very few men clever enough to know all the mischief they do.
Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.
Women are one of the Almighty's enigmas to prove to men that He knows more than they do.
God gave women intuition and femininity. Used properly, the combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met.
Men don't deceive their wives unless they love them. When they love them most, they deceive them. It's a form of fidelity, their deceit.
Men are such power-seeking creatures, and they usually kill people to get to the throne.
