אִשְׁתְּךָ נְמוּכָה-גְּחַן וּלְחָשׁ לָהּ

ביטוי (אנגלית)

If your wife is little, bend down and whisper to her

הגדרה (אנגלית)

If your wife is little, bend down and whisper to her. By extension: listen to your wife's advice. Or: you must speak to every person 'at eye level' so that they will understand you (the original is in Aramaic below).

(And Rav said: Anyone who follows the advice of his wife falls into Gehenna, as it is said (I Kings 21): 'There was none like Ahab...' Rav Pappa said to Abaye: But people say: If your wife is short, bend down and whisper to her! — There is no contradiction: this applies to worldly matters, this to household matters. - Bava Metzia 59a)
