I and my husband is only 4 months married and we're happy! With that, I pray that the happiness that I feel in this new stage in life will keep going despite all the hardships that I know will come our way. Being a wife at first was hard for me to do. It gave me a lot of doubts that I thought I can't be one good wife at the first few weeks but I like how I'm being appreciated by my husband with everything that I do for him. By that, I feel really special and appreciated and knew that I am a good wife. Responsibilities may exhaust a wife but the enjoyment on doing so is priceless. I thank God for making me learn and grow in this starting journey as a wife to my husband and I'm praying for more of what's ahead. Are you a wife? What are the things that you enjoy being one? Share it here!

Congratulations! My husband and I just celebrated our second wedding anniversary, and I have to say that I love it. We're definitely happy together. It's definitely a nice feeling. I certainly can't complain. I look forward to many more years together.

My husband and I have been married only since June 18th, 2011, so we are newlyweds as well. Congratulations to you and your hubby! :) We are very happy and yes, there is a learning curve to being newly married, as the two of you sort out your issues in being a couple. I enjoy housework and taking care of cooking, cleaning and dishes. He gets to run the vacuum. LOL. ;)

I am married 9 years this past August. And I absolutely Love being married. He is my soul mate and we are just the best of friends. This is exactly what I dreamed of but wasnt sure I would get. With all the negativity in the married circles, one has to proceed with caution to some degree. I enjoy being with him, going out and staying in. We adore one another. We are also very committed to our life that we promised before God to have with one another.

Oh, I'm sorry. But it's good to hear that you enjoyed being a wife once to him. That's something to be happy about. I'm sure that he was happy too. God bless you!

hi ronadelle.... congrats on your wedding and I really wish you perform well in your new role. Mine was an arranged marriage so that made me prepare for all the pros and cons of marriage. Because I was entering a new life with all unknown persons ( i mean all my in-laws), no job in hand, no relatives or friends in the new city. But I was so impressed with the warm welcome I had from my in laws and their friends. I was just 'not only a wife', I was a daughter-in law, sister-in law etc etc etc... and still I am. But yes, as no one is perfect we learn a lot by experience only. Please remember we can achieve a lot with 'love' in the role of wife. I am really happy with my role of wife as we'll be celebrating our 15th anniversary on Nov 10. of course there were many ups & downs and we both had felt we can't carry on for a long time. We still have healthy arguments and difference of opinions but I think that is common in marriage. Now we happily share the responsibilities of being 'parents' as well. I wish you both have a rocking time ahead!

I have been with my the love of my life for 22 years now. Of course, trials come our way. Needless to say, we all have a share of good and bad times in our relationship. One thing that keeps us together is our love for God.We make God the center of our relationship. I was also in doubt in the early years of our relationship. Started so happy i nearly feared that this happiness might not last. But since we knew the Lord and made him drive our relationship, we have maintained the happiness we have for each other. We respect each other and that made our relationship always growing in love. God bless you on your journey.

I love your story marge! And it's very inspiring to know that God has been blessing your marriage. As for me, I'm also thankful because my husband is a pastor and whenever trials come our way, holding our hands and bow in prayer is what makes our relationship grow in love and with God. Thanks for sharing your story and welcome to mylot!

Congratulations on your marriage. I really hope, you will always enjoy happiness, until what age your wedding. You must be a good wife. Previously, I enjoyed being a wife. But, now, I feel a heavy burden to be a wife, and I feel unhappy, and do not enjoy. My husband and I, was facing problems. And this problem, makes me uncomfortable with my marriage. Hopefully you do not have a problem, as I have.

Congratulations on being a newly wed, my husband and I have been married for seven years now and for the most part I would definitely say that I enjoy being his wife. This past year has been the most trying year of my life because of the health issues that we've had to deal with. However, in the end knowing that you've got someone that is going to stand beside you no matter what is one of the most rewarding things about being a wife. Also, I like that I'm able to stay at home with our children while he works so that we are able to have the strongest family possible.

yes, i enjoy being a wife. I enjoy cooking for my husband and daughter. Actually, they are not very expressive people, so i would ask them , how's my cooking and really would like to hear that they like it. And i am happy they always like what i cook. I also enjoy bonding with them, at night. Usually, our daughter would only be here on semestral break, like tomorrow until the 22nd when she will be here. Other than that, it's me and my husband and my parents-in-law just in the house, so i specially liked it when we get to watch TV shows together while in bed cuddling. I would usually ask him what juice he would like to drink and i will make one for the two of us. It's tiring to be be working and being a wife at the same time, but it's worth it.

I've been waiting to hear from you! I'm glad that I can learn something from wives like you who have been in this journey for a long time. It really feels that you have a wonderful family. What's your work by the way Ms. SimplyD?

I'm not wife but we live together like married people. Sometimes I don't enjoy being some kind of wife. For example yesterday evening. I had to fill some forms and I did it for me and for my partner as he still got some problems with writing English. I asked him to check the forms and sign. He found mistake and he started arguing with me about it. So I said to him: I did it for two hours. If you are so smart do it for yourself then. I'm sure Your English is enough. After few minutes he apologised. We corrected mistake and everything was fine. But sometimes I feel trapped by all duties, papers because I know that he can't do it for himself.
