Once women get into a pattern of behavior, whatever it is, I am unsure how to change it. I think this is inevitable because no woman is perfect, so no matter who she is, if you have a relationship that goes on for more than a trivial amount of time, there will be things you want her to change about herself.

For example, let's say she has a career which she enjoys and "cannot imagine doing anything else" and you want her to be a stay at home mother. How do you go about changing her mentality about something like that?
