be inclined to do / incline to do

[Soox]

Hi, guys. Merry Christmas.

I don't know when "be inclined to do" is used and "when incline to do" is used.
Such as:


I incline to walk with my wife after supper along the river.
I am inclined to walk with my wife after supper along the river.




I incline to my wife's view of walking for an hour after supper.
I am inclined to my wife's view of walking for an hour after supper.






be inclined to do = incline to do
Both of them equal tend to do
Right?
