What things do you do as a wife

Let's see! After over 30 years, the list gets pretty long. How about taxes, legal help, medical research, office management, interior design, painter, teacher, house cleaner, organizer, car repair, carpentry, mover, packer, landscaper, child psychologist, babysitter, flower arranger, caterer, secretary, librarian, seamstress, money manager, banker, nurse, master herbalist, food management, chief cook, plumber, electrician, etc. It's worth it he's still cute :)

[i]Hi SomeCowgirl, I quit my job when I got married and relocate with my hubby but he knows prior that I am not cooking, I just cook rice before and some vegetables but in my whole life being single, I am dependent to my Mom when I am with them and when I am at work, just eat in the canteen... ANyway, I expect to be the one cleaning the house and I love that ever since, he is the cook most of the time, we both do the garden, we both do the food shopping, I am the one ironing his clothes etc.... IN general, I am happy with what I am doing......[/i]

where to start...I wait until my husband goes to bed and write little notes to him so he will have them when he gets up early to go to work, when he wasn't deployed of course. while he was deployed last time i worked very hard to have all the things he wanted done to his truck finished by the time he got home. this deployment has just started, but i will continue to do things like this to keep our marriage alive. i bought him a new wedding ring with something engraved in it so that he could look at those words while he's so far away from home. it's little things like that. bringing him lunch to work without him knowing just to say i love you and i care. these things are important for a man. thanks for posting this discussion. God bless

One thing I can't believe I am doing because of my husband is to walk long distance. It was just during this midweek trip we got and he forced me to walk a distant mile and i was really angry at him because i hate long distance walking. When he saw my face not in the mood, he quietly think and talked to me about the reason why we have to walk, and then he took the initiative to make me smile and then rented a bike so that we can go to places where i don't have to walk furthermore. About chores, well i don't think i have to tell him what he would do since he is helping me in every chores like cleaning, washing, cooking. He initiates to do things even without my command and that's one of the many things i like in my hubby. We do give and take and we don't compete with each other, we help each other more and if we disagree on something, we don't let any negative things to become a big fight. We do resolve things needed to be resolved. Since we believe that communication is important, he always ask me about the things i hate and i will explain to him, the same way i ask him what he hates on me, and he would say so that we will not do it anymore.
