Recommendations for young husbands
Young husbands must go through their own stage of adaptation to the conditions of married life together. Usually a man bears the main responsibility for maintaining the family, and he is ready to work selflessly for its prosperity. However, a young husband is often faced with the fact that he is entrusted with responsibilities that he has not previously performed and which, as he believes, detract from his manhood. Now he has to do household chores: help clean the house, clean up after himself after eating. He should show interest in the professional interests of his working wife, maintain an atmosphere of optimism, be the initiator of pleasant leisure time... For most husbands, this is difficult to understand.
How can they not cross the line beyond which they begin to “be under your wife’s thumb” or “be a family tyrant”? This alone causes mental stress and reluctance to continue family life. Here, as elsewhere, there must be a sense of proportion and tact, the ability to unobtrusively and delicately create an atmosphere in which all these changes would occur in the least painful way and with benefit for both spouses.
Many endeavors in family life are not always successful the first time. This can shake the self-confidence of young husbands. They will feel shame and guilt that family life is not going as they would like. The wife needs to help her husband destroy this uncertainty, encourage him, support him. Such an attitude on the part of the wife will strengthen the man’s belief that he made the right choice, that everything will work out in the near future, and his wife is a worthy woman, a wonderful friend, she will do everything to prevent the family from falling apart.
