Mystery of the Silent Husband
Abdullah Bajubeer
 

Experts in marital relations see that men hesitate a great deal when they discuss themselves and the opposite sex. They fear criticism and exposure of their weaknesses. The experts believe that men are particularly sensitive when it comes to their weaknesses.

The advice given to a woman is to prepare herself to listen attentively to her husband’s problems and to what he says to her. She must make sure that she is free to listen to him and there is nothing to interrupt her discussion with her husband.

Experts say that if the wife gets to know her husband’s secrets and weak points, then she should use his weak points against him whenever there is a dispute between them. She must not hurt his feelings and should work for building a stronger relationship.

Voice and Personality

Our voices express what is in our souls. If something prevents us from speaking — takes away our voice — then part of our personality will remain unknown and unclear to those around us. One well-known TV personality advises us to liberate our voices so that we can liberate the person inside us.

She says that voices have great influence on our lives, beginning with the way we breathe and ending with how we deal with other people. She believes that singing opens up what is inside us and makes it easier for other people to read us. Singing might be a treatment for some psychological illnesses and might even make people happier.

In research done by a psychiatrist, he found that women lose their voices because there is anger inside them that cannot find its way out. It is normal for a person to feel happiness, anger, fear and sadness and to give vent to them. Failure to do so may result in loss of voice.

The psychiatrist was able to help many patients who came to him. He told them to release the anger inside themselves by screaming. According to his findings, a person’s voice is a measure of his health. In other words, the advice to everybody is to scream.
