i think a wife is someone you love who loves you in return and will be by ur side no matter what. that's a wife. so if ur wife is a thorn in the flesh, that's not really a wife.

one have to ask oneself if they are good and how good is good. before you decide to have a wife please evaluate oneself. once you have evaluated your self than you start evaluating your partner to be. a husband asking for dinner and wife tired from work n too tired to do it does not mean a bad wife. how understanding was the husband, y not they go out for dinner out together. in todays world woman are not all housewifes .. they are working too.

I believe that judging yourself is the key. The key to being a good husband is knowing that it is not all about *you.* This is a different era...and the Lucy/Ricky paradigm that worked in the 1950s, does not work in 2008. In today's economy, you cannot expect a woman to *not* cop an attitude if she must come home from work, wash the dishes you haven't bothered to wash, cook, clean, and be Cleopatra at night, and you have done nothing to help her out around the house. You have done nothing to support her. Showing love is more than just showing physical affection. If that is not mixed with a willingness to help her when she needs you, then she merely takes it as a way of manipulating her. I promise you, it won't work.

Yes indeed one can. Once has to analyze and do a thorough test of the female before marriage. In otherwords you have to "put the fish in water" and see how it adopts to the environment. So if you try to create situations of confusion, conflict etc. you can understand whether your wife to be is really a thorn in flesh!!!

Why did you marry her if she is like that? A person when contracting marriage shall see to it that the peson he/she is marrying is the ideal one in order to avoid future conflicts or unwanted circumstance or consequences.

Truly, good wife materials are very scarce but girlfriends and bedmates are abundant.There are also pretenders disguising as real wife and once they enter your life they turn it upside down.

I like to be optimistic ;) But also, one should work on a relationship to make it successful rather than expecting a package that comes with all the special features, get it :D

Well I suppose it depends on what your idea of a good wife is. Wives can be hard to come by but that is only if your expectations are high. In order to receive the love and respect you feel you deserve you must first be nice to your wife and show her love and respect. Have you ever heard "Treat people the way you wish to be treated" the same thing applies here. If you are overbearing and awfully mean to a woman she will do the same to you, unless she just decides to leave you. This isn't saying that your character is anything of the sort, on the contrary, I am just using generalizations. I believe that I am good fiance, and will be a good wife because I treat my fiance with respect and love. If there's anything bothering him he knows he can come to me, and I know I can go to him. It's not always easy, but it's always possible! I hope that you have a very wonderful and lovely day today!
