There are four different types of temperaments. They are Choleric personality, Sanguine personality, Phlegmatic personality and Melancholic personality. You will always have one of the temperamental classes as your dominant temperament. Every day, many people go online to conduct one temperament test or the other in other to ascertain where they belong.

Temperamental studies enable you to know why you act the way you do. I am going to focus however on how the knowledge of one’s temperaments can help reduce conflicts in marriage and between couples.

This hinges on the fact that all temperaments have their strengths and weaknesses. An understanding of them in the right way will ensure that one strives to minimize the weaknesses and maximize the strengths within the marriage context, thereby bringing the couple to a better understanding and awareness of themselves. The implication is that conflicts and minimized and issues are resolved with better understanding and love.

1. Choleric Husband

You are a great achiever with laudable projects but your expertise at work may not necessarily make you an expert at handling life. You must be willing to learn the principles of living right and relating with your wife.

2. Choleric Wife

You are quick, determined and decisive. However, your husband occupies the leadership position and he wants you to defer to him. Do not take decisions without carrying him along. If you do, that might make him look irrelevant and consequently undermine his authority.

3. Sanguine Husband

You are fun loving and a delight to be with. You love people, enjoy their company and you are an expert in making others happy. However, your wife is not just one of your many friends; she is that special person in your life. She is not to compete for your attention in any way.

4. Sanguine Wife

You have a peculiar temperament, fun to be with, jovial, bright eyes, you are simply amazing. You love people and nothing will stop you from having them around you. However, you still need to balance things so that your relationship with your husband will be blissful.

5. Phlegmatic Husband

You are easy going and would do anything to have peace and tranquility. You do not mind denying yourself of things you would rather have if that will bring peace. You easily adapt to situations without complaining.

6. Phlegmatic Wife

You find submission to your husband easier than other temperaments because you are easy going and will try to be as supportive to your husband as you can. You will readily allow your husband to have his way and you do not mind putting your husband’s needs and dreams above yours.

7. Melancholic Husband

You are an intelligent man. You are reserved, thoughtful and patient and that makes you a quiet, peaceful man. You enjoy solitude because it brings out a lot of creativity in you. You love a serene environment and you do not always want people intruding into your world unless invited.

8. Melancholic Wife

You are introverted and easy going. You are given to reflective thoughts. Your introspective nature makes you very careful and sometimes fearful. You will not dabble into new projects without thinking it through. You are very intelligent and you can easily bring out the creativity from the inner recesses of the mind. You are very sensitive, caring and can hurt easily.
