As a submissive and respectful wife, you lead from behind while your husband leads from the front.
And to achieve this, he must be ahead of you in almost everything.
It's why a man must prove to you that he is capable of leading you right.
And you the lady, will know if

At the time my wife and I began to date, we didn't date for more than 6 months before we got married.
One time I decided to "test" her.
I gave her a substantial amount to keep for me.
I asked for it back at random and she wasn't expecting it.
She loaned the money to someone who promised to pay it back a few days afterwards.
Lucky for her, I got the money as promised, because the loaner saw the situation and hurriedly paid it back.
Now, some of you would have resorted to believing she's not wife material.
I mean "How dare she loan the money that isn't hers to someone?"
Yeah, your perspective is correct but then, you never throw a baby away with the bath water.
That situation presented me with an avenue to inculcate my values and let her know that things aren't done that way.
No matter the situation, you never give someone money that's not yours.
That was it. I'm certain she might have forgotten about this situation but I haven't.
However, I've never spoken about it, ever again.
Being a leader is knowing how to resolve issues and move on from it.
Don't dwell on it and use it as a point to devalue and make your person to constantly feel less of themselves.
Learn or learn the hard way.
Always look for a reason to smile even when things are looking bad. Believe me, you have much to be thankful for. Show gratitude. Thank the Almighty always and He will grant you more.
As a man, one of your greatest wishes in marriage should be to one day appreciate your wife for not turning the minds of your kids against you.
To achieve this, you must've to love & care for your wife as christ loved the church.
But you must work hard to find your wife.
End.

The Story of the Epic Battle Between King Sunny Ade and Chief Bolarinwa Abioro
It was in 1974 that the news broke. Chief Bolarinwa Abioro, the Balogun of Ipokia, the Chairman of African Songs Limited, had taken his star musician to court! Everyone who knew KSA knew Abioro. Everyone who knew Abioro knew Sunday Adeniyi. Sunny was the son. Abioro was the father. What could have gone wrong between father and son?
KSA was the second artiste to be signed on to the stable of African Songs Limited. Ayinde Bakare was the first. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister was the third. Like most creative people, young Sunny Ade was more concerned about his passion and less concerned about the business aspect of music. His passion was to play music and to excel as a musician.
It was enough that Abioro – one of the biggest men in the music industry at the time – was ready to promote him. They brought documents for Sunny and his band boys to sign. They called it a contract. It could have been called any other name for all that KSA cared. Won ni ko wa je saara, o ni ojo ti wonu ju. Se ata ni won ni ko mu wa ni, abi iyo. You are invited to a free feast, you are complaining about the short notice, are they asking you to bring salt or pepper? Sunny Ade and his boys didn’t hesitate. It is doubtful if any of them read what the contract said. The most important thing was that they were going to become recording artistes. Sunny signed. His band boys signed. Everybody was happy.
The contract was for 5 years. However before its expiration, KSA had become a household name. His album, Challenge Cup, sold in excess of 500,000 copies. It was certain that King Sunny Ade was going to dominate the music scene for a very long time to come. African Songs Ltd knew a good product when it saw one. The management of the company didn’t wait for the first contract to expire before they brought a new contract.
The new agreement was carefully worded. KSA and his band boys agreed to perform and record exclusively for ASL for a period of five years. ASL had full copyrights to all compositions and recordings of Sunny Ade. ASL was entitled to the sole right of production, reproduction, and use of King Sunny Ade’s performance throughout the world. That was not all. During the period of the agreement, KSA was prohibited from rendering any performance whatsoever to himself, any company or group of persons. The contract also stipulated that ASL had the option to renew the agreement at its expiration for a further term of two years or for any longer period. Sunny Ade had no such right.
That was not all. On the sale of every album which price was then fixed at N6.00, KSA and his boys were entitled to a princely sum of 20 kobo. Yes, you read that right. African Songs would go home with the remaining N5. 80 kobo. Onigegewura’s mathematics has never been good. He is just an amateur historian. You can do the sum yourself.
Still basking in the euphoria of his growing fame, Sunny gratefully signed again. His band boys signed. 20 kobo was still something. Orogun iya re da sokoto fun o, o ni ko bale, melo ni iya to bi o da fun o? You are complaining that the trousers made for you by your step-mother was not long enough, where is the one your own mother made for you? They were expecting their 20 kobo royalty on every album. Well, when the time came for actual payment, it was then discovered that mathematically and arithmetically, it was not supposed to be 20 kobo. They had not factored the cost of publicity and promotion! And since it was the artiste that was being promoted, he must be the one to bear the cost! After the addition and subtraction, Sunny was given 15 kobo per album.
KSA was not Chike Obi, the mathematician. But he knew that 20 kobo and 15 kobo were not the same thing. Compared with his contemporaries in the music industry, KSA realized that he was holding the short end of the stick. His colleague, Baba Commander,

For you to be able to live peacefully with a woman, you must be ready to correct her (with love) many times.
Even if you're repeating the same correction for the same "offense".
As long as the "offenses" do not cross any red lines, then you either have to learn to tolerate her
