What it Means to Have a Choleric Husband or Wife
- Open and honest––You don’t have to wonder what they are thinking or feeling because
they will let you know right up front whether you want to know or not. Often she has
excellent insight that is ignored because someone doesn’t like the way it was presented. - Effective Disciplinarian––Spells out exactly what she expects and carries herself with
an air of confident authority that children respect. Her children are usually
exceptionally well-behaved. Often used powerfully by God––very often have brilliant
ideas and are absolutely right when they propose solutions to problems but people
don’t want to listen to them or implement their ideas. People often delight in actively
opposing their plans. They’re often dedicated Christians. - She is a forceful woman with many goals in mind. She may help with the finances of
the home.^3
Weaknesses of a Choleric Wife
- Unpopular––may be greatly admired at a distance but disliked by people around her.
- Mean––may appear angry, distant and unapproachable even when she is not in a
particularly bad mood. She may just be so preoccupied with her own agenda that
frankly she doesn’t even notice you. - Gets angry quickly––she can be mean to her husband, children and even total
strangers. She thinks the planet is populated by incompetent fools whom she merely
tolerates at best. She will often control her family by fear and intimidation. She can
be harsh and may hurt people’s feelings with tough language and a harsh unloving
attitude. She may also use her mean streak to control her husband especially if she
married a phlegmatic man, which is often the case. - Self-Centred––she’s interested in just herself.
- Uses people––doesn’t take time to make friends. Is not interested in the two-way
give and take relationship required to maintain a long-term friendship. Her projects
and accomplishments keep her busy enough. She’s happy for you to help her; she’ll
ask for favours, she’ll call you to report her accomplishments etc. She tends to view
people as tools to accomplish her goals and objectives. In her mind projects are more
important than people. This attitude leads to conflicts. - Impulsive––she’s often too impulsive. She takes strong actions to get the results she’s
after but will leave the end to be finished by others. - Workaholic––she works beyond working hours, yet when it comes to housework and
the more mundane tasks of life and motherhood, she suddenly behaves like a lazy
person. She is in actual fact conserving her energy for what she deems important. - Bossy––she comes across as the bossiest, most annoying, know-it-all personality on
the planet. She is a woman who likes to take charge. - She is not very domesticated.
