being a wife... what is the best thing you did for your husband?

That's a good question, but I don't think I've ever done something for my husband and considered it as doing something great. I just do it to be supportive and to work as a team. I think the most important thing you can do as a wife or a husband for that matter, is to be open and honest and supportive no matter what. Communicate with each other and truly listen to each other. I see marriages all around me fail because of that very reason. There is no room to be selfish in marriage. Everything I am and everything I do is for my family and I think that is the best thing I could ever do for my husband.

I think all the things I've done to him that make him happy is the best thing I ever did to him.

I think the best thing i have given him was our four kids that are all grown up now..

The best thing that I believe that I have done for my husband is to help him with the English language to read and write in it as his first language is not English, but I have succeeded to do this and it has helped him a lot to someone where there first language is not English then it is very difficult and you have a lot of other who discriminate against others who cannot do this so I believe that I have done something very worth while for my husband so that people cannot do this to him.

I think that the best thing I did for him was to fight for our love. Early in our relationship, my parents, especially my mother, disapproved of him because of our age gap (he is 7 years my senior) and that they didn't believe that at he's age he was unmarried yet. I made ways to let him and my parents get to know each other (e.g: I'd ask them if I can take him to our reunion, birthday celebrations, etc.). And that made him encouraged to woo my parents too. After a while, they believed that he has good intentions for me and that he really loves me so when he proposed to me, my parents approved of it right away. And now, they love him dearly.

I fell in love and took him and his daughters in when he was unemployed. I helped him back on his feet and THEN married him. We've had ups and downs like everyone, but we celebrate nine years married this year. He loves me deeply -- what more could you ask for? :-)

I think this has to be right up there.... In Aug. my husband had knee surgery. We live in a tri-level house so for the first 2 or 3 days he slept on the couch in the lower level (there is also a bathroom on that level) so he wouldn't have to do any stairs. I slept on the floor next to him in case he needed anything. I was just so tired that I knew if I went to our bedroom I'd knock out and never hear him call me.

If you asked my husband he would say the best thing I have ever done for him was to give birth to our daughter. Other than that i would be hard pressed to pick just one thing. I would say that in general the best things I do for him are to allow him to be himself, allow him the freedom to do the things he wants, and stand by him in good times and bad. On the other hand he does the same for me. You are right about it being a two way street. It takes work to make a relationship work and both parties need to be willing to give and compromise.

You are right, as relationship is a two way traffic. At least two peiople are needed to make a reslationship, so it is not possible only for women/men to continue a successful realtionship. I am not married yet, so I can not say waht I did for my husband. I only can say sharing feelings and understanding the husband in all situations of life is the best thing a "wife" can do.

I hope that everything I do for him makes him happy. But he tells everyone the best thing I have ever done next to our children is taking care of him during his cancer. It was really rough & I am not the only wife to ever have taken care of her husband during cancer but in his eyes I am the queen for doing it. We went through 2 major surgeries & chemo for 7 hours a day for 3 months. We didn't have insurance. I was working 40 hours on the weekend so I could take care of him through the week as well as get 1 of our children to school & get the other one ready to go with us or take her to stay with a friend. It was really hard times but we made it through & I think became closer in the end. We have been married 15 years now the cancer scare was 3 years ago. Every day we have together is that much more special for having each other. Everytime I do something for him or he does something for me is special.

I have thought for about 10 minutes,but I dont know what is the best thing I ever did for him.I think I should ask him the question.Usually ,I do something I think it is more important for me, but he doesnt think so. For example, when we are in a economic crsis,I often put him at first place.I buy new clothes for him and let him have a better supper. But I cant spend one cent on something for me.I feel this is the best thing i did for him.But he thinks the best thing is too simple.Giving him a smile when he comes back or feels tired, then he feels very happy at that time and that is the best thing i do.

I think the best thing I did for my husband was marry him LOL. Ok all kidding aside I can't think of one great thing. I do purposefully do things like respect him, support him in new things and times when he's having a rough time, I'm his friend, I listen to him, I try to treat him like he treats me, I never talk bad about him to other people. We are best friends and even though we have our spats like anyone we always makeup quickly and don't stay mad. I'm a quick forgiver though, I will flare up with anger easily at times but I'm also quick to say I'm sorry or get over what I'm mad about and not hold it against him.

The best thing a women can do to her husband is to be with him in his Bad times too. i know people be with each other when its good and till they are happy with each other. Its always necessary to understand that a woman can keep a bonding relationship or even she can break the relation.Also men should support and understand what is her important in his life and take care.
