Qualities of a Good Wife..

I was fortunate to have an income where my wife did not have to have a job outside the home. We grew up in the tradition of the husband working to support the family and the wife being at home to take care of the family. So that is what I expected to do and my wife was content with that. As a result, she was at home to raise our son, to be there when he came home from school and listen to how his day went, to get his snacks ready, etc. As a result they established a bond that is strong and will last their lifetime. They can still sit and talk for hours. When our son started college, she got a job to help put him through school. As a result, he had no school loans to pay off when he finished. He is now doing well and following the same pattern. He has an income large enough so his wife can stay at home and raise their two sons. And she is content with that as well. I realize that the economy has changed a lot, and it often takes a two-income family to make it. The advantage of making it on one income is that should you need additional income in the future, like for college expenses, the wife can work part-time or full-time and raise the income level. If a family is already living on two incomes, then adding additional income is difficult. The world has changed, but I am now retired and my wife and I can look back and say, we really like the way we did it.

actually it is an interest topic .and i think there is no the standard for the good wife ,because each husband has his own judging manner ,some one think to stay at home to take of child is one of the good qualities of being a good wife ,so how about the wife have a brilliant carareer , is that valuble for her to stay at home just for being a good wife ? and personal opinion ,a good wife should be a good mother , a good daughter in law ,a good worker and so on ,it is very hard to be a good wife ,because a family is not just a nuclear family ,it must have some connection with the society ,so if one part is broken in the link , it is not easy to make a whole chain .so good wife is not so easy to be crowned ,we have cost an arm and a leg to that name

It depends on the thinking of the couple. Some decide that both partners work while some wives are not ambitious. They like to stay at home. Only quality needed in the couple is love and understanding.

Hi, In the present day world, taking care of the finacial matters of the family or taking care of the household things and children is not considered as job of only the husband or wife.. When both the spouses are well or equally educated and capable of working, a very good amount of sharing happens in families.. Wifes also play a very important role in taking important financial decisions and also contribute towards the financial well being of the family. Both the spouses together take care of the children also. Such children also benefit a lot psychologically by knowing that there are not many gender differences in their homes (although there might be hidden things between parents;-))
