What would a wife must DO to be a Husband's Bestfriend...

Quite frankly its important to not lose yourself as well. If you are lucky enough to have that kind of love more power to you. Husbands and wives that are each others best friend usually feel that way before the decision to tie the knot. Waiting until you have already its makes me think. If you are working this hard, is it really worth it to you? George and I get into fights (usually after he's been drinking) and that's part of being in a relationship. The key is dealing with and understand there will be conflict. If you can't, then.... there is a serious problem.

The key to success in any relationship is friendship. Many people says that finding the perfect partner can be the best way to find the perfect friendship. In my opinion you can be your spouse's best friend by having mutual trust, love and understanding. You should be very affectionate to because we guys love that :)

very good, It means you really had worked out on your marriage. which I believe every married people ought to do. I agree that you listen to him. Everyone somehow ants to be heard. I read somewhere that, "the greatest form of loving is listening". Sometimes you just have to understand that men (just like women) has to connect with their kind. You know that there are issues that men or women can not talk to their spouses about. Like for example the struggles of a temptation. You have to understand that one really. I think you are a very good wife to do what you can to make your hubby as your bestfriend that is one of the best trait of a wife.

hi mackiejp sounds to me like you have it all made really. my husband and I were best friends,we trusted each other and shared problems and support each other. we talked out problems and we were not afraid to tell each other anything, we did not keep secrets that should not be held, we did keep a little back that were ours alone, but never anything that wou ld hurt the other person. we liked each other, we enjoyed talking to each other and spending time together. also we gave each other room, as we both had different interests. we trusted so we did not check on each other unless we thought the other person might be ill. I think you gave an excellent review of what makes a good friendship myself. Listening to each other was the best thing I learned and its also important to listen to your kids too, really stop everything and listen with all your heart.

I do not see anything else you could possibly do. It sounds to me like you are doing everything a good wife and great friend should do. Though books and tips from friends can be helpful, I think you should rely mostly on your heart to guide you in all your relationships, especially the one with your husband. Continue to love him and treat him in the same manner and you will continue to be happy as his best friend.

Before my husband and I got married, he always considered one friend to be his best friend and I told him I dont believe him that that person was his best friend because you will only find your best friend when we get married, and he told me I was right. He did found his best friend when we got married. Though we have a lot of misunderstandings, and sometimes having the thought that how can he be my best friend when he doesnt even listen to me, when sometimes I feel like its better to tell my friends my problems than tell him, and there are difficulties in adjusting with our differences, at the end of everything you still rely on each other. That's why I can also tell for myself that my husband is my best friend because everything will still go down with him. I dont know specific ways to do to be your husband's best friend but you can always try to be patient to him. If he goes home late at night, dont get angry right away but do the possible things that you can do to be able to take care of him. Men hates being nagged, they have weaknesses and we have weaknesses too. We can help each other overcome our weaknesses, criticize constructively, doing it with love. When you want to tell him something about the things that he does that you didnt like, tell him about how it made you feel, and not focus on the things that he did. When your husband would see all the good things in you, he is also going to follow. Someone has to lie low and be humble, usually women does that I think because that's what I do. I think these ways might help you. I am still working on it too and so far, its okay.
