What is a Good Wife?

I know what you mean so many women expect men to just know and it isn't like that at all. Me and my husband talk about everything together. If I want him to rub my back or make me dinner I ask him to and the same goes for him too. Anytime we need something or want something we just ask each other and we do it for each other. We are going to be spending the rest of our lives together might as well get used to it now because we have a long road ahead of us.

I agree that making a marriage works all boils down to communication. Without it, I don't believe that any marraige can work. Two people when they enter into a marriage are from different backgrounds and need to work together in order to harmonise the marriage. I never learn how to cook before marriage but now I am learning cause I do know that my husband likes home cook food. He accompanies me to see my favourite horror movies even though it not the type of movies that he likes to see. Its more giving and take situation. I have learnt from listening and asking what my husband likes and dislikes. Likewise he knows my likes and dislikes.

No one said it was "easy", but life isn't easy. Marriage shouldn't be hard, either, though. It's not about making your spouse "guess" what you want or what you're thinking. The common problem is the apparent disinterest. After a while of being with someone, living with someone, they should at least be able to know what kinds of food you like, or music you listen to, or what your favourite flower is. It seems men these days just don't pay attention, or don't care.

I think a good wife is someone who is willing to put her husband's needs ahead of hers but also willing to let him know what she needs. Most husbands will bend over backwards. if their wives put them first, to place her needs before his. Marriage is not 50/50, it's 100% for each mate. I have a wonderful husband who understands me so well. Even when going through menopause when emotions run over me. he is just loving and understanding. What a wonderful guy I have!

Very well spoken. I do not work outside the home. I do alittle child care at home for grocery money. I feel since my husband is out working and I am at home it is my responsibility to do the cooking,cleaning and laundry. I agree there has to be alot of communication between spouses. No body said marriage was easy. Anything worth having is worth working for. I took those vows of love,honor and obey very seriously. I try my best to always please my husband.
