A properly worded why question can help resolve some arguments. If you can get hubby to think about why he is acting as he is, or doing what he’s doing, or seeking what he’s seeking, he may change directions or at least soften his approach.

Of course “Why are you so stupid?” or “Why are you so mean?” or any other why that is really an attack aren’t helpful. Here are some why questions that may work better:

• Why do you want that?
• Why is now so important?
• Why does that make you feel bad/unloved/disrespected?

Even if knowing why doesn’t change his mind, it may help you deal with the situation better.
