Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between a wife's ability to be creative in managing her family and her sensitivity to opportunities and problems, her ability to learn, her ability to coordinate and integrate her skills, her ability to resource her family, and her ability to bully her spouse in the marriage. Three aspects of marriage bullying will be looked at social control, emotional control, and verbal control. The goal is to lessen marital intimidation by developing a plan to enhance the wife's creative family management abilities. Two hundred thirty-five wives from the rural and urban governorates of Minya, Cairo, and Giza were included in the initial research sample. The husband's family residency requirement, employment status (working or not), and social and economic backgrounds were all carefully considered during the deliberate selection process. Every family also needs a single son. The study employed three questionnaires: one measuring the innovative family management skills of spouses, another measuring the marital bullying of husbands, and a generic data form. The research was analytical and descriptive. The study discovered a statistically significant inverse relationship (0.01, 0.05) between husbands' marital bullying and wives' innovative family management abilities. Additionally, the study found statistically significant differences between the husband's marital bullying and the wife's innovative family management skills, with significance levels of 0.01 and 0.05. The two experts offer strategies and programs to help wives become more creative in managing their families, promote contentment in the house, and lessen the intimidation of their spouses caused by the husband.
