(A). Possessive Wives: - They are wives that see their husbands as theirs only, no member of his family should move closer, she believes it is “me and my husband”, they are so hostile to their mother-in-law, they are abusive and make life difficult with anybody that wants to share their husband with them. They are suspect everywhere of their men with any lady; they are suspicious and can easily develop high blood pressure as they are giving themselves unnecessary problem in policing their husband
(B). Olympic Wives- These do not see marriage as a team work, they are in constant war with their husbands, they are members of “woman liberation force” who believe, wives should not be submissive to their husbands, they fight for the headship of the family, contest every decision of their husbands, new generation of these kind of women believes house chore should be shared between them and their husbands (may be a roaster should be made for it). Wives are in constant “contest” at home, they see their husbands as rivals instead of partners.
(C). Iron Lady Wives: - These are women with big jobs, strong purse and fat bank accounts. Most of the time they are richer than their husbands, because of this they made themselves the “head” of the family, controlling everything in it including the man, to them; she who pay the bills dictate the direction of the home, their husbands are like house boy in the house, children are given authority to do whatever they desire to do, since a house where woman rules is a home without a ruler.
These kinds of women are proud, stubborn and arrogant. They want anybody that care to listen to know that they brought everything in the house and they back orders in the house like an army commander. These kind of women combines financial power with their sex power, they use it to control their men. They give only their bodies to their men whenever they wish, in the Bible of these women Eph. 5:22, 33 do not exist.
(D). Celebration Wives: - They love parties and celebration, they are societal wives, they are unfaithful to their men, they are always busy at weekends, all “Aso ebi” must bought, all parties must be attended, either their husband likes it or not.

(E). Career Wives: - These are woman who are more committed to their works than homes, they do commit their husband and children into the hands of the house maid while they junketing the globe as they try to rise in their career.
If you allow your jobs to take priority over your husband, you are digging a deep grave for your home and your joy. After God, your husband should be number one in your life, then your children then your work. (Proverbs 14:1)
(F). Corrosive Wives: -Proverbs 21:9 says “It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.”
A corrosive wife is a battle ready wife, she curse, abuse, criticize, condemn, strife and indulge in physical combat. They keep malice with their husbands, retaliate, can become moody for days, they don't believe in cease fire or truce, or they know is fire for fire. They have caustic mouth, dirty mind and hateful character, “if you can not beat them bite” is their slogan. They fight virtually anybody around, from neighbour, to their maid (in fact they change maid every month), their children, colleague, and their husbands, who are their principal victims.
(G). Gutter Wives: - These are set of lazy and dirty wives. It is better to visit an unkempt public toilet than to visit their houses early in the moving.
Toilet is unflushed, bathroom is stinking, kitchen is unkempt, clothes are not washed, sitting rooms like dunghills, cushion chair is stinking of baby's urine, no wonder their husbands refuses to come home.
As they are among the poor, we have them among the poor, thereby putting their homes on “sales”.
(H). Veteran Wives: - They are not against their husbands and they do nothing to see that they succeed. They are full of old wound, full of bitterness and resentment. They are veteran of many marriage battles. They've made up their minds not to fight again and never to give peace a chance, not fighting because of their ages and not pillowing peace because of their bitterness.
(I). Positive Wives: - They are normal wives, they are not fighting their men, take good care of their children, sleep with their husbands wherever they can and build t least a stable marriage but because of one thing or the other, they are not having the best of marriage.
(J). Kingdom Wives: - These are uncommon wives. They are extraordinary women of grace, full of wisdom and the power of God. These women will be the subject of the next teaching.
(K). Ancient Wives: - They are old fashioned wives with Victorian mentality; they dress shabbily and look like great grand-ma, put on colour riot, tie wrapper to bed instead of nightie, careless about their outlook, most especially if they are not going out; their slogan is “who dey look me”.
They are full of inhibitions and culturally believe that makes sex life difficult for their husbands. They believe sex must not take place in the afternoon lest you give birth to albino, must not take place on Sunday, because it is the day of the Lord, must not take place when breast feeding etc . They also believe sex must take place only for procreation. They are full of ancient mentality that is destroying their modern life.
