Six Bad Husbands and Six Unhappy Wives

This compact study surveys six familiar patterns of wives and six matching husbands that can be found across much of the Christian world. By presenting each type in vivid, almost conversational scenes, the author invites listeners to recognise the habits that shape everyday marriage. The aim is not to blame but to offer a mirror for self‑examination, encouraging anyone in a partnership to ask whether they fit one of these portraits.

In the opening vignette, a self‑made businessman—generous, modest, and proud of his hard‑won reputation—marrys a bright, college‑trained woman who quickly seeks validation as a ‘superior’ partner. Their first years seem harmonious, yet her growing pride and his shrinking confidence ignite a sharp confrontation that shatters their quiet routine. The episode sets a tone of keen observation, humor, and gentle caution that runs through all six couples.
