You married the woman as a wife not as a slave. If your wife is working hard, always appreciate her. Infact, appreciate her at all times cos the children alone she's bearing for you is a great work. If only you are given the chance to carry pregnancy for 9 months, you will always see your wife as a rare gem. 
The food she is cooking alone also warrants you to appreciate her. Women are trying mostly the part of breast feeding the children. So always appreciate your wife.

Marriage involved two perons from different background, raised up with different ethics, different custom practitioners as well as different believes and norms (Otekpo Emmanuel, 2022). It will takes understanding for them to live peacefully and disastrous when one tried to over lead.
Therefore, always Respect your wife's opinion mostly when it is meaningful.
