I have been married for 12 years now and have been with my husband for a total of 15 years. We still have our problems and issues to work out every year that we are together. I try to be a perfect wife to him, by loving him, cooking for him, supporting him and being faithful to him. My husband appreciate everything I do for him and if he ever needs anything or a friend to talk to, I am always there for him. We have become best friends in our marriage and even before then.

I think the right man is a good point, because doing all of that is good, and helful but if the man doesnt appreciate it, its useless. You are licky Steph that you have a guy who appreciated what you do for him. Lucky you!

Stop worrying about being a perfect wife, be yourself, enjoy your relationship, have faith in your husband and always share your joys and fears with him, the rest will just follow, you will automatically do all that is right.

A 'perfect wife' tag depends on the place and culture u live in. If its in some western country then more of liberal values are there but if its in Asia, esp. in India 'a perfect wife' is to be FOREVER OBEDIENT, always trying to pacify the male ego, etc etc...but not to worry...when God himself made u in the next step, u r always known as 'better half and best half'.... so why worry to please his ego.... once u allow his ego to be boosted ....He is all yours....and the best part is to please Him with ur culinary art...after all 'the way to a mans heart is thru his stomach'...ha ha... so u got to be a great cook. Also in Asian countries, if the marriage is an 'arranged marriage' then u got to please ur inlaws, etc etc...ie,,,u r being married to the whole family. u need to keep in mind each and every likes and dislikes of the husband as well as the his family members. and once u start of on a good note there is no turning back. It totally depends on the bride or the lady of the house to 'make it' or 'break it'....the family ties..... when the new bride 'make it' All ends happy.................

Thanks for the tips. Yeah, i also know that "the way to the man's heart is tru his stomach", so i better collect recipe book from now own hehehe. Pleasing in-laws? maybe i can't assure that but i will try, if it doesn't work i can stay being humble and repectful.

i'm about to be a wife soon so i can relate to you..i think there's no such thing as a "perfect wife", we have to be accepted by our husbands to be, the good the bad. Eventually we will make mistakes and our husbands must learn to accept that. And we must do the same to them.

Thank you for responding. I agree. I wish every husband is like that, because i know some who have high expectations unto their wife.
