Source When I hear the phrase 'Happy Wife, Happy Life' it makes me think that there is no consideration for the husband. What if what makes the wife happy doesn't make the husband happy? Should he just accept it because she's happy, and it's only her happiness that creates a happy life? That doesn't sound good to me. I don't doubt that when a wife is happy it can make a husband happy too, but I don't think he should be a slave to her happiness or tolerate something that makes her happy when deep down it doesn't make him happy. If only one person is happy in a relationship, whether it's the wife or husband, that's a crappy relationship. Both spouses deserve to be happy in their marriage and in their home.
