How to be a good wife ?

A good wife isn't a slave. She's a partner and equal to her husband and deserves to be treated as such and not be chained to the sink as a fishwife. There's no divine law stating that to be a good wife means bowing down to your husbands every whim; that's a misconception which has been dragged to modern times from a time when women had no rights and no right to working either. A wife is who you make yourself to be as long as you respect, commit to and love the person your with; if you think washing his shirts and feeding him, when men are quite capable of doing that for themselves and for their wives also, then that is your own opinion; however i think an equal spread in chores throughout the household is approprate as they live there too, and both people have the right to be able to guide their child to young adults as they each seem fit. A wife is someone who can share themself with their spouses without the fear of being submissive in comparison; can trust their spouse to protect and be faithful to them and also be able to be free with their displeasure in marriage problems aswell as other issues and have faith that the husband should do so in return and without him using physical violence. The idea of 'good' doesn't come into it as every womans ideas of marriage are different and as long as it doesnt hit extremities, there isnt such thing as a bad wife because they don't wash shirts of fit into the role of being a servant.

Hi sabahking, A good wife is your equel partner and both husban and wife should do things together, wife is not there just for cooking and cleaning and washing husbands should also do thoses things to help the wife, the wife has brains of her own, not just get married and be slave to a husband,and that whats makes a good wife.

In my opinion, it is not the sole role of one or the other to uphold what is seen to be the fitting wife or husband. To each, must respect one another equally, help each other with the chores around the house and/or taking care of the kids. By not doing sneaky things behind one another's back and basically telling lies every second of the day. By being there for each other when times are at their roughest, and not blaming it on one or the other, that they have gotten the whole family in a rut. To each their own though on this subject. Since I do not believe it is the duty of the woman to take on the role of maid, mother, and lover all in one, just because she got married.

sabahking, in my own way understandig. To be a good wife is a big responsibility. Love, Understanding, and Respect are one of the factor needed I think. Doing all chores around the house doesn't make us a good wife, they should understand that we are only human we need there help. .

Everyone has their own opinion on how to be a good wife, First you should carry the faith and trust in your heart with your husband. A wife should take care of his husband, like preparing the best meal, ironing his clothes and most specially not to forget to take care of herself as well. As far as i know husband would love to see their wife stays sexy and lovely.
