My spouse is in the habbit of imposing things and me in taking all is given. I often very obediently agree to and adhere to all she says! It does not mean I dont have a say, but I feel to be more considerate towards her, for all she is! Do you agree to all the things?

If your spouse is progressive and not abusive, and you have not been as successful in accomplishing ability in providing a comfortable lifestyle, and she has, then hell, why not, go with what your wife proposes. A wise man is a man who supports a wise woman, and not feel intimidated by her success. At the same time, you could seek out education and ability independent of her, on your free time, and build on models that create a sense of accomplishment. That model could be your wife, and supporting her and watching the success she creates for both of you should create in you a sense of accomplishment.
I often encounter troubled relationships because one partner is stressed out the the sucess of the other partner, and I find that so foolish and very destructive force in breaking up relationships that otherwise would continue well if just that one partner worked on their own independence, self esteem and self worth.
There are many books and internet sights that provide human behavior information and self helf activities that can assist one with these signs of mental distress. Just goggle words like self worth, self esteem, mental distress, mental illness, positive human behavior.
Hey, guy, if your wife is successful and loving towards you, you are one lucky fella!
Should anyone of your friends, or family member pick on you, tell them that they are just jealous, that your wife's success is your sucess because you are a supportive partner.

I wouldn't say we always agree, because I believe a couple who can't be bothered to disagree over important matters can't be bothered with their relationship. However, as we have quite a lot in common, very often our opinions or feelings coincide anyway. On minor matters, we will each often go along with what the other wants rather than have a pointless argument. If something is really important, though, I will not allow my husband to impose his views on me, nor will I try to make him see things my way. We'll have a spirited discussion, then come to a compromise which suits us both. Agreeing or disagreeing isn't the important issue here. You should respect your spouse's viewpoint, whether it coincides with yours or not.

its nice of you to always agree with your wife and be cosiderate to her...i think this is good to avoid some arguments and fights...
in my case, my husband & i do not always agree on what the other says...for we both have different views in a certain thing or situation...we tend to ask and tell our side or our idea...actually we share our ideas and talked about it and in this way we learn from each other and we do make some improvements in our relationship...
i admit, sometimes this leads us to misunderstandings and sometimes small fights but that's all normal to us and all are just temporary and after we solved our misunderstandings everything will go smoothly again...and we get our lessons and learn...
i think having a healthy communication and conversation is very important in a relationship...
if you feel that what she said is not right or you have some objections then say it...but in a nice way as possible...
talk about it and share ideas...after all, you are husband & wife...
have a nice day! :-)

In every relationship, it has to be give and take, it has to be a two-way street. You can listen to all the arguments but you don't have to agree in every thing one says. A great part of every relationship is conversation. You have all the right to say every thing you want to say provided you are not imposing it to your partner. You have to respect each other's opinion but respecting is not all the time agreeing to it. Have a nice day.
