You are already thinking that anyone who says that wife controlling husband can have 'good points' about it is a bra-burning feminist. But that isn't strictly speaking true. Sometimes, a controlling spouse can do you more good than harm. This holds good for both a husband and a wife.

Wife Controlling Husband: Benefits To Reap

Manage Your Finances
Sometimes, men are poor judge of finances. If you allow your wife to control your finances, you can actually retire a few years earlier. Are you scared of heavy credit card bills due to shopping? Well the best way to make a spendthrift person a miser is to hand over your finances to her. Once your wife becomes responsible for your combined savings, she will not be able to spend too much on herself! Its a win-win situation for you.

Quit Bad Habits
Sometimes, wives have a pivotal role in helping their husbands quit bad habits like smoking, drinking and even drugs. If a wife is controlling her husband for a good cause, then can you really look at it with suspicion. Bondage that cures of ills is often much better than freedom that leads you to doom. So if a wife has to control her husband in regard to his bad habits, then she should do it by all means.

Discipline
Some amount of discipline is essential in every person's life. Sometimes, a wife has to control her husband for his own good health. If your wife tells you that you have to get up early and exercise every morning or you will only get diet food from now on, then she is trying to control you for your own good. In such cases, a wife controlling her husband is doing out of love. It is very hard to pass a value judgement on such a controlling spouse.

These are some cases in which a wife controlling her husband might have justified to do so. Do you think that there is any situation in which a controlling spouse can be justified?
