I've been a wife for two years now. Give your suggestions how to be a good one.

We all come from a different culture and for that everybody has thier own point of view of being a good wife! I agree with you being a wife it's not an easy task especially those who had kids and work at the same time. For you to take care of your husband and doing all the chores and be supportive with him is already a good wife! My husband and I has an equal relationship and I'm so proud and happy for that.

Does your husband actually tell you your attempts at being a good wife are not good enough for him? I sure hope not. In my book if you are trying to be a good wife you are a good wife. What does being a good wife mean to your husband? All the responsibility of making a good marriage doesn't just fall on you. Does he think he is a good husband? Do you think he is a good husband? If he thinks lording over you is being a good husband then he is not a good husband. Being a good wife and husband is about being partners and sharing equally a life together. No one keeps records of the wrongs or rights they just help each other be the best they can be and build together the kind of married life they want. I wish you all the best!

Congratulations on being a great wife for two years. We have been married for over 32 years and it is still a day to day challenge to be the wife we should be. As long as we are striving to be our best then we are doing great! You and your hubby both have to give 200%, there is hardly any take all give but that is part of being married. Our highest desire should be to our husbands and to please them and make them feel they are loved and worth it all to us. Our undivided attention to our husbands when they want to talk is very important, that is the area I am trying to work on now LOL. See,no matter how long you are married, marriage is a continuing process. God bless you and I am here for you if you ever need to PM. God bless!

As long as your husband is happy then you are bing a good wife.. we all have our good days and bad ones. Chores that didn't get done. Lundry you forgot to put in the dryer.. kids got you distracted. All in a normal day. Just do your best and I am sure if your husband complains then sit down and ask him what can I do to make a better wife.. taling to each other is very important and I am sure you are doing just fine. Just my 2 cents

My experience with my husband ~ at times or most times husband likes "not so ingelligent wife" .. so if we are smarter than then we pretend not. They also do not like nagging .. so tell them "i dont like this " once or twice .. if no changes learn to live with it. Do not keep repeating the things. Learn to enjoy life on your own .. give yourself "alone" time to release your stress. If you are working wife, do not tell your husband your working problems, leave it at office. Do not tell him about other man, not even your boss appreciating you as they are jealous. Always remember to put your toilet seat up . Yes Food, cook his favourite food when you feel like having him in good mood. If he is troubled ask if he wants to share ~ if he does listen only, do not give advise, just ask what he thinks should be the right thing to do Communication is important ~ not about both of you but on general topic like who will win the election, a movie , some jokes ..

Yes , being a wife is not an easy task. And to be a good wife is not that easy too. I think lets take this way. Just do what we have to do. The main thing is that you just have to perform your responsibility as a wife. The rest of it let natures take its place. Don't expect too much to please our partner and at the end of the day you will be exhausted, frustrated or feel guilty of yourself. I am sure if your husband love you, he will love you the way you are....

I've been a wife for going on three years and I guess the best advice I can give you is realize that your hubby isn't going to be perfect. Alot of women seem to think that they can nag or harp a husband into being what they want him to be. That rarely works and usually just ticks off the husband and makes him want to avoid coming home. I'm not saying don't ever complain just that you can't expect him to be perfect anymore than he should expect you to be. The other advice I will give is learn to compromise. No one can have their own way all the time and it's easier to find a common ground then to fight over who's going to have their own way. Good luck to you and yours!

are you just a wife not yet a mother? i am a husband for five years ow and this month is our 6th year anniversary. i am also a dad for two and a half years and my sons picture appears at my avatar. well open communication and saying it properly gos a long long way. talking of what you want to do and takingof what you want to happen will not lead to any misunderstanding. saying thank you, sorry and i love you is one good attitude too. and my wife always gives me a kiss.... she is so sweet. whatever we are doing or whenever we are she always gives me a kiss.

Believe in him and always stand beside him. No spouce has to be perfect. Expecting perfection is setting yourself up for a fall and I'm sure your husband doesn't want that. Good luck!

Just be yourself he feel in love with you not your cooking or cleaning skills just keep loveing him and being there for him when he needs you.just let him know how much you love him.

You are a good wife when you meet the needs of your husband. If you ask your husband if he is happy then you can say you are a good wife. If you cook a good meal and your hubby is satisfied, you are a good wife.

be happy, kind and loving. Take care of yourself and then take care of your husband, any time you feel like you are sacrificing for someone else the relationship starts to come apart. So make sure that you are contented and do not try to change him, only you can be in charge of you, your husband is a partner but a completely seperate person, remember that. If you are a whole healthy person he will be happy also and if not then he will have to solve that problem, you cn help but not force. LOL

I been a wife for almost a year now .What i do to be a good wife is love my husband with all my heart,to be good for him and listen to him,being so angry when he dont eat lunch and i do my best to be a perfect wife,as far as i know i am good wife to my husband.I think all i can give advice to you is just love your husband with all your heart then i think you can be a perfect wife,but there is no perfect wife but you can be a perfect wife for him nice mylotting.

It's hard to be a wife, let alone be a good one. I've been a wife for almost 10 years and I'm still striving to become a good one. I believe that being a good wife is an on-going process because it doesn't just end at one point just because you've done something special or extraordinary or heroic for your husband and kids. You play the role of a wife everyday of your married life, which means that being a good one is also an everyday challenge. How can we become good wives? You should always be there for your husband--not just sexually (though this is a very important and essential aspect of a marriage) but also emotionally and physically, meaning you have to spend quality time with your husband and kids. Just being there for your family, always ready to lend a helping hand, provide a shoulder to cry on, listen to their rants and raves, is one being step to being a good wife.

i also had been a wife for almost 3 years now... but i can't say that i am a good wife yet... there are still so many things that i have to learn to be a good wife... and it depends on the experience... the more we experience being a wife, the better we will be... take care and have a nice day...

Just stay in love with your husband. Love will only be the feeling that will help you survive all the trials and problems that will come along your way. It will shield you from pain and suffering which we commonly experiencing when we are in a very hard situations.

I think a good temper is the best one to your husband.Showing consideration for your family is ok.Don't feel too uptight.

You are sooo right. Being a wife is not an easy task but it can be an enjoyable one. As wives we sometimes tend to focus solely on our husbands and pleasing them, nothing wrong with that but we need to take care of ourselves as well. We need our husbands to appreciate us for who we are and what we do. We also need to do nice things for them ever so often, surprise them every now and then with innovative tokens of appreciation, keep them interested in you. Remember with all that we still have housework, seeing about the kids etc. Find a nice way to involve them in these chores as well and work together as a team.
