Macbeth wasn't a typical soldier. A typical soldier in Shakespeare's times would be the one to give commands to his wife, but Macbeth was soft and he wasn't as confident as a usual soldier would have been. Due to Macbeth not having a lot of confidence, he felt he had to listen and obey Lady Macbeth.

Although I suspect that nobody was going to give commands to a woman like Lady Macbeth. She was a formidable woman, who succeeded in controlling Macbeth not because he was soft but because she was harder than the toughest man. "I would, while it was smiling in my face, have plucked my nipple from its boneless gums and dashed the brains out had I so sworn as you have done to this." Is this a woman anyone could say no to?
