One of the most common causes of marital friction is underestimating what it costs our spouse to do certain things for us.

Usually, this is an honest mistake based on assuming the cost to our spouse is the same as our cost when we do the same thing. A classic example is a man who has no clue how much it can cost his wife to have sex on certain occasions. He assumes it would cost her no more than him, or only slightly more than it costs him, and based on this wrong calculation she seems to be selfish and unloving. 

So where might you be doing this to your husband? If you have greatly misjudged what something will cost him, you are almost certainly being too hard on him and may be mad when you should not be.
