I agree if the spouse is wayward, although a more walk away spouse is likely to get to the issue and want a different resolution.
Some wives (like V) are not wayward and the best solution is to validate and take on board what is being said instead. If a non wayward spouse is treated as if their words are meaningless when it makes sense to them they are likely to walk away faster.
Care.
