What does it it take to be the perfect wife?

There is no such thing as a perfect wife because nobody's perfect. A better wife, yes. To be a better wife, we should love, serve, understand and sacrifice for the marriage to work out. In my case, I sacrificed/gave up my job just to be a wife. I see to it that his needs are well taken care of. Nice topic. keep posting...

Well, there is a Sanskrit saying according to which, the perfect wife: 1. Has to accept her husband as an overlord: this means you should be obedient to your husband and subservient (do the two words mean the same?) 2. Has to be to him what his mother was: This means your culinary outputs should taste as his mothers did. His laundry should be done as his Mom once did it. Should he do wrong, you should forget for a few minutes that he is your overlord, and teach him right as his mother once did. 3. In the bedroom you should be shameless and give him maximum pleasure: Don't say you are shy or tired or sleepy or the baby will wake up. Give your man what he wants. Now, show me the perfect wife!! Cheers and happy mylotting! ;)

In my opinion a marriage deserves two equal partners, each having equal responsibility in keeping the marriage alive and working. The problem with some couples is that when they hear this, they think that it means things should be 50/50 between the two. This is hardly ever the case though. There may come a time when one of the two is very down either physically/emotionally/mentally/spiritually and cannot give anymore than 10% to the marriage. At that time, it is the duty of the other partner to give the 90%; knowing that there will come a time when the role is reversed. Most of the lifetime of a marriage however is spent rotating between the 60/40 and the 70/30 range. As long as one of the two is not always the lower half of the percentage rate the marriage can be very healthy and supportive. ~D

can we really be perfect at anything in this life? i believe that healthy relationships are about give and take. so if you sacrifice, then so should your husband. but if everything in your relationship is one-sided, i think that it is everyone's best interest to get out before all that is left is a shell of a person.

Perfection?... hmm no not this side of the grave. I would say the closest to perfect I get with my husband is to show him respect even if he technically does not deserve it. That sounds simple enough but try it when you are streessed out and angry.. lol. Whew! Its tough but worth it. If you read the bible there is a passage in proverbs 31:10 +. Its a decent roadmap.

You can only do so much,and that is all that you can do!!the perfect wife just does not really exist,as the perfect husband does not exist either.Its unfair to say that we as women should make perfect wives.That puts a lot of pressure on us as women,we have a lot of expectations to live up to.The only way that I think you can handle it all is to do your best,and your best is good enough.If you continually try to be perfect then you will become very stressed,and in turn that isnt good for you.

To be a perfect wife is a lot of sacrifices.You should love your husband unconditionally.Have enough patience and understanding,because not all relationship is always heaven.Everyone encountered trials.And if you are strong and your love is true.Then no trials can destroy your love for your husband
