Five Things a House Wife Wants to Hear

All right gentlemen, we all know that you appreciate what your wife and what she does around the house, but does she know it? Well for your benefit, I have gathered together a few things that every house wife wants to hear.

Thank you.

This is always, always number one on the list. It is amazing how far a please and thank you can go. Sometimes after being together a long time the novelty of marriage wears off and you may forget how important it is.

Yes, this does work both ways, so if the case is that you're not getting you're please and thank you, then take the initiative and start it. She will catch on and also be grateful for the common courtesy. It sounds much less demanding to use a simple please or thank you every now and then.

Tell her how good she looks.

It doesn't matter if she wears sweats every day or is covered in baby throw up. She needs to know that you love her for what she is. House wives and (or) mothers quite often don't feel very beautiful.

This is very, very important. If she is already dressed up for some reason, it's most likely for you so don't ask her why she is dressed up. Just tell her she looks great, if she is wearing perfume then tell her she smells good, give her a kiss and she will be happy.

The house looks nice honey.

There are so many comments I hear from fellow housewives about how no one notices how nice the house looks until she doesn't clean it for a couple days. So show her some appreciation and tell her that it looks good, even if it is tidy all the time. If the house is not spic and span every day, odds are that she is busting her butt to make sure that the many other household chores are attended to, so find something to comment on. She will certainly be pleased that you noticed.

Dinner was awesome.

The evening meal is usually the one that takes the most time and thought. I know that I have spent a lot of time trying to pick out recipes that my husband would like. It's nice to know that the thought really does count. In my case the thought is all that does count because I can't cook worth beans.

I love you.

These three little words can not be used enough. Say them all the time. When ever you leave the house, when you get home, when you call, when you go to bed, any reason will do. Come up behind her while she is doing dishes and tell her. It is so easy and it means so much.

I hope that these little tips are of help to you. Being a house wife is a full time job that all too often, even if unintentionally, goes unnoticed.
