How can I control my husband without him knowing it?

Answer by  lolson39 (206)

You can control you husband in much the same way you can control other friends and family. It's best done in a positive way. Lead by example, that is, show him how things should be done and likely he will do the same. You can also mention in passing how others act, hoping he will copy them.

You can develop what are known as passive-aggressive techniques, however, these techniques will do significant damage to your relationship. Honesty is definitely difficult but truly the best policy.

You can't, and you shouldn't want to do so. A healthy marriage is founded on respect and equality; trying to "control" someone shows neither of these traits. Men recognize controlling behavior and will eventually leave a relationship if it is used excessively.

You have to make your husband feel like he's getting his way, even when he isn't. If there's something you want to do, drop hints until finally he suggests the idea. Then he'll feel like he came up with it, and you'll get to do what you want!
