My Muslim wife has been questioning my decisions lately, which is unacceptable. How can I make sure she knows her place in our marriage?

You cannot and should not make your wife believe that she is second fiddle to you. Instead, it is important for you both to work together as a team on all major decisions, taking each other's thoughts and feelings into consideration equally. It's also important for her to recognize the value of your experience in such matters - something which can be respectfully cultivated over time. Ultimately what’s important is that both partners feel heard, considered and respected when it comes to making decisions in your marriage.

It is important that you communicate with your wife directly about her behavior and make sure she knows that she should not be questioning your decisions. Tell her that while it is normal for couples to discuss matters, decisions should ultimately be made by you as the head of the household. Let her know that you both need to maintain mutual respect within the marriage so neither one feels threatened or disrespected by the other's input. Additionally, tell her this applies only to major decisions; small decision like what food to cook can definitely be discussed.
