Are they not invariably those in which the wife jollies the husband along and makes him believe that she thinks he it a little bit of all right? Did you ever know of an un- happy home in which the wife put the loud pedal on her husband's vir- tues and the soft one on his faults? Did you ever know of a husband for- saking his wife who was a real expert salve-spreader? _ There is more to it than just this. The critical wife breaks down her husband’s morale and foredooms him to failure. By her fault-ï¬nding she kills his belief in himself. She keeps his weaknesses continually before his eyes and he subconsciously comes to accept her poor opinion of his abilities and gives up without making a ï¬ght. â€"â€"vâ€" U So from every point of view it is a fatal mistake for a wife to tell her husband of his faults. Let others do that. It will not hurt so much.
