How to REALLY Be the Perfect Wife
A Response to "How to Be a Perfect Wife"
The perfect wife light-heartedly teases and makes fun of her husband when he tells a joke that isn't funny or that he has repeated a million times. She has a sense of sarcasm and a sense of humor, and once her husband experiences the freedom to banter back and forth with her as they tease each other like schoolchildren, pretending to take offense but laughing all the way, he will be driven insane by girls who don't get sarcasm and good-natured ribbing.
The perfect wife doesn't just quietly pick up all the clothes, cups, dishes and trash that her husband leaves around, hiding all issues she has with his uncleanliness, and pretend that life is just peachy. She tells him what he can do to keep the place clean and reduce both of their stress levels and workloads. Not to mention, her husband might just be the type who is a clean freak himself. Her husband might even be the one who is more into cleanliness and keeping the place neat and orderly.
The perfect wife doesn't just lay there in bed with her husband, putting up with his snoring that makes their bedroom sound like the Fast and the Furious' race scenes. The perfect wife helps her husband find a treatment for said snoring, for BOTH of their benefits.
The perfect wife knows that it shouldn't be her responsibility to cook 100 percent of the time. The perfect wife has a husband who enjoys cooking as well, not just sitting on the couch with his Budweiser in hand, waiting for her to finish dinner. In fact, she might have to fight him for use of the kitchen at times. The perfect wife is one who has taste in husbands, and there's not much use for not knowing how to cook for one's self. What are you gonna do when your wife can't cook for you or it's simply a better idea for you to cook for you, or better yet, to cook for her? Maybe she's worked late, too - and trust me, the perfect wife isn't just a stay at home wife.
The perfect wife sometimes needs to vent about her day, because obviously, she will have her bad days, and she will have her bad moods. In exchange, she will give her husband a chance to vent about his day. Both will listen to each other's vents and rants, and then they will help each other feel better by whatever they want to do - date night, one cooking for the other, or simply falling asleep in each other's arms.
The perfect wife comes forth about issues in her mind regarding things - money, chores, kids. She wants her husband to help out with the chores, and she appreciates it very much when he does, and lets him know this. She knows this isn't the fifties, and that a man usually isn't TRULY happy just being married to a maid. It's far more important for her to make him feel emotionally needed - not just needed for his money. It's also far more important for her to be needed emotionally - not just needed for housework.
The perfect wife can pay her own bills, can drive her own car, can buy her own clothes and spa treatments, can enjoy a good cigar or beer now and then, and can freak out when her favorite sports team loses. She's an independent woman. She's an independent woman who needs you because she loves you, as opposed to a dependent woman who loves you(or pretends to love you) because she needs you. You tell me, men, which one do you prefer?

Post a CommentRock on! Love all the weight lifting articles too. Got to do that 20 lift thing.
5 stars!
This is almost the exact relationship i have with my husband, and after two children, and 10years, we are still going strong.
it's nice to see that there is still a form of traditional marriage behavior being accepted, and the fact that once in a while, it is okay
for the woman to "open up" to her husband.
Good job my dear.
and god bless
I once saw an example of a woman who was a perfect wife. I lived in Italy at the time when I was in high school. My best friend Dad was in the US Air Force. His dad had married again after a device to a woman that also been through a divorce. They both had baggage that the brought with them. The man worked, she stayed home and helped to raise his kids with her own. They loved each other, and he did everything she could to make him feel special. The man in turn did everything he could to show his wife he loved her and that she too was special.
She was a "stay at home mom." But she did not stay at home. She would take short trip with the kid during the day in the summers to see the history around them. She always made sure that they were back and that the house was clean and dinner was made by the time her husband got home. She was special to them all because she knows what it means to make them special.
There is an old saying that "when momma is not happy, no one is h
I am sure you think this is all pleasing him. Will yes and no. The perfect wife is pleased by pleasing her man. At the same time the perfect man wants to please his wife. He will take out the trash (with out nagging) and will help cook from time to time. He will play with the kids and will bring flowers like he did when you were still dating. The perfect wife will deserve and get the perfect man. Just as any woman can be a perfect wife any man can be her perfect husband, and together they can have the perfect marriage.
The perfect marriage comes not by demanding, forcing, tricking, or nagging. It comes by loving, caring, forgiving, and fulfilling the rows that we must both live. A woman needs to feel loved and protected. That would include her husband providing for her and their children. A man needs to feel that he is respected and he gets that by a woman filling her row as wife. Both can have it all but not if she is out of the home.
You girls are wacked. I don't know who told you that any guy wants a girl that is "independent". Any guy that told to that he does not mind if you work just wants your money or sex. Or, he wants both. Most likely he was just trying to get you in bed.
No, a guy does not want just a maid. We guys are simple creature and we don't what much. The perfect wife is a friend, a lover, a sweetheart, not competition or the other bread winner. When was the last time a real man let you take him out? When was the last time a real man let you pay for your own dinner? This women's live crap that you girls keep spilling out is not flying anymore.
Get a clue; we men want our wives back. We want our women home with the kids. We want to come home to clean and welcoming home. What is wrong with showing that you care about us by cleaning up your home, your self, and your children? What is wrong with having a dinner on the stove?
I am sure you think this is all pleasing him. Will yes
