Why spouses fight and shout for each other

There's something supremely sexy about having your man jump headlong into a fight to defend your honour. Which is why men should be warned that every now and again, your woman is going to shove you headlong into a fight. It will most likely come out of nowhere, but take heart; she is not trying to get you killed!

She is only testing the levels of your commitment. Hopefully, it will not be a gun fight and she will pick an opponent you can easily handle. Otherwise, if she is trying to make you fight with the biggest, burliest, loudest guy in the club, you're in big trouble. Every time you will try to raise your voice, she will scoff, "you only know how to quarrel me, yet you were beaten by that guy at the club!"

Sometimes, there isn't even an actual confrontation. On some days I just need Hubby to agree with me while I badmouth whoever has pissed me off. So he sits and agrees with me that indeed, so and so is a pain in the wrong place and should be booked onto a one-way flight to Mars. Sometimes he is so colourful in his insults of my detractors and hater that we eventually end up having a good laugh about whatever has annoyed me.

He has seen me through a lot of drama just by being in my corner. Just this morning, I was the victim of a wrong number. Someone called and had some very rude words with me over the phone, supposing me to be someone else. After roundly insulting me, the guy hung up, leaving me very frustrated.

The phone call bothered me, and since the offender was now not answering my attempts to call back and get to the bottom of it, I did what any attached lady would do. I made it my Hubby's problem. I called him, gave him the offending phone number and asked him to make someone pay for my wounded feelings.

As always, Hubby delivered in grand style. I do not know what he told the guy, but a few minutes later, the wrong number culprit called me back to apologise. He explained he was trying to collect a debt from someone with a number similar to mine and was at his wits end.

We ended up laughing over the incident, and Hubby scored some massive brownie points with me for putting his work on hold to pursue the matter. Oh guys, you have no idea how such excites us women. And I think therein lies the magic; to know that someone values your safety and peace of mind enough to risk his own is a heady feeling.

And it isn't just for the ladies. Gentlemen, too need to know that you'll fight for them. Unfortunately some less mature men enjoy this in the form of two women having an actual cat fight over them. However, it does not have to go that far. When your girlfriends are going on and on about how all men are dogs, do you ever stand up and simply say: 'Not mine'?

You're all on Facebook drooling over pictures of Idris Elba. Do you ever drool publicly over your own man or give him any kind of public approval? You may imagine they do not need it, but trust me; men appreciate having a woman who is openly and clearly in their corner.

Recently Hubby said to me that one of his favourite Facebook posts of mine to him was two lines which simply said: I love you. I appreciate you. I will never give up on you. I have no backup plan and no regrets. It is also the post that garnered the most ever responses from men. So go ahead and feel free to fight for each other.
