How To Be A Good Wife

A good wife is one who turns a brick and mortar structure into a loving, caring home with a few deft touches here and there — a home that a husband wants to return to every evening. He knows his wife is waiting for him, and wants to reach home early instead of stopping at the local bar or at the old boys club to drink away the day’s blues.

The good wife too realizes what her husband needs. She brushes her hair, applies a light make up and gets ready with a smile to greet him at the door. She never makes the mistake of looking bedraggled when her husband arrives. That’s the best way to cool off a promising evening.

If it’s winter then the good wife has a merry fire going. Nothing can be more pleasant than to enter a house that is warm and ready to receive you – especially if you have driven down a long, snowy road that was cold, bleak and treacherous or on a highway that had bumper to bumper traffic.

Also, a good wife never rushes her husband. Instead, she lets him unwind, allows him to feel important; listens to his day’s woes. She does not nag or express unhappiness even if she thinks her husband is wrong. There is enough time to discuss the issue again.  The first is to let your husband confide in you. It’s the best way to build a strong and durable relationship.

Equally important, a good wife never makes the mistake of unburdening herself first, even though she may have had a bad day – and needs a shoulder to cry upon or let off steam. The chances are that a tired husband may not be very receptive, and the purpose may be lost. She therefore bides her time. She also avoids pointing fingers at her husband, even though she may know that he is not doing his part of household work like getting taps fixed or arranging firewood.

She also never tries to show that she is better than him. There is nothing worse than male vanity. Every male thinks he is the cat’s whiskers. The best way to offend your husband is to hurt his ego. He will immediately withdraw into a shell, become uncooperative and behave in an unpredictable manner. The peace that reigns in the house will be shattered. There will be spoken or unspoken friction, and the relationship will start sliding.
