Hello, everyone. Have you ever heard of the figurative expression about how when a woman bosses, controls & overrules her husband, that she's the one "wearing the pants" in the household? Well, I'm going to write a fiction short story about this topic, backed up with some research & websites. Read them whenever you're free.
Here's the short story.
____________________________________________
Michelle Bates & her husband, Gavin, live on a cul de sac, or "dead end street" in a trailer park. Their neighbors are a little bit nosey, but not really intrusive. The couple has no children, but they have 4 pet chickens, a pet rooster, a pet gerbil & a stuffed animal Pomeranian, named "Marshmallow". They don't have a real dog, because Gavin loves dogs, but Michelle hates them. So, the compromise was them having a "dog that can't make noise." But strangely, the other pets can be real & make noise. The pet rooster, "Choco (short for chocolate)", gets the privilege of being a natural alarm clock & waking everyone up so early in the morning.
Michelle is a narcissistic wife who has almost everything out of biblical order, yet maintains that she's righteous, saved & holy. Gavin is afraid of her. People call him a "simp wimp". She's always boasting about how she follows Titus 2:5, but she doesn't. She has a corporate manager position at a travel agency that requires a 15 mile commute, & she's the breadwinner. But her husband has a customer service work at home job with an IT tech position; also while taking care of the pets, as if they're children. Gavin is the one acting as the wife & helpmeet.
Michelle is always yelling at Gavin & the pets. Especially the chickens. She even puts the chickens in timeout & punishes them. 1 time, she spanked the gerbil, named Martie. She assigns Gavin chores & yells at him if they're not done in time, or if dinner isn't ready by the time she gets home from work. She takes all of his work money & then leaves him with an allowance, like as if he's a little child.
Poor Gavin! His nickname is "Stockie" because he's 6'1" tall & has a stocky body build, & obviously suffering Stockholm Syndrome. He realized that the marriage with Michelle wasn't what he signed up for.
1 of his church friends, Benji, came over for dinner 1 evening. He gave Gavin a pep talk & showed him some Bible passages about how the husband is supposed to be the leader of the home. He said, "Gav, you can't keep letting your wife treat you like a punching bag. This isn't what salvation is about. You have to become a brave, strong warrior. Pray about your marriage with her."
Likewise, Benji pulled Michelle to the side & had a pep talk with her & showed her some Bible passages. She got defensive & told him to butt out & mind his own business. After a while, she read the Bible passages, felt convicted in her heart, apologized to God in prayer & then apologized to both Gavin & Benji.
The tables turned, they made changes, & then they started acting according to their biblical roles. It improved their marriage once Michelle humbled herself & Gavin started to be courageous. Gavin now wears the pants in the household.
THE END
