What does it mean to be a good wife?
451323
To be a good wife, you must be loving and caring, and loyal to your husband. Did you ever  say to him, "I would do anything for you", and really mean it?  Well, if you did, and you still provide such care, then you are a good wife.  But, it does not work one way.  Eventually, even a "good" wife gets tired of neglect and abuse. So, in order to be a really good wife, the man must also be a good husband.

A good married life I think depends on many factors. But one of the undisputable key factors to a good married life is communication. Therefore I have attached something that I had saved many years back, and hope that you can gain a thing or two from the text below and the source link for more reading.\n\nTrue Intimacy Through Communication\n\nIt's amazing, but if you really look closely you'll discover that people are extremely private creatures. For all that we seem to want to boast and have ourselves become acclaimed, we still tend to bottle our truest and deepest feelings inside. And, for what? Most often to protect our helpless hearts from heaps of pain, anger, ridicule, despair or ultimately heartbreak. But, what if keeping our inner selves hidden is what causes the pain to appear in the first place? Have you ever considered that preventing the people close to us from really getting to know us is what's keeping them from giving their all as well?\nEvery person has an inner need to be heard and understood. The people who understand us best are the ones we consider our closest friends, and the type of people we tend to gravitate towards. So, it would make sense that if we took the time to understand our partners and visa versa we could create a relationship of true closeness and intimacy. We wouldn't feel the need to hide our real feelings, or keep our deepest dreams and desires hidden because we would feel safe in the knowledge that our partner would understand. \nFor a lot of couples this may seem like an impossible task. If you've been together for any number of years, and communication is still your number one problem, it is definitely worth the risk to try and create a better verbal environment. \nTo begin on the road to verbal bliss you'll need to check all emotional baggage at the door. It can't be allowed on this trip. What kind of emotional baggage? Well, first you need to strip away any "shoulds or should nots," or other beliefs. These are the statements that you hear cycling in your head when you're partner is doing or saying something such as: "He should know what I mean," "If he really loves me he should understand," or "She should know better than to do that." There aren't any prerequisite behaviors that you or your partner should have, other than a willingness to understand and listen. Everything else is just a made up excuse to get away with not using real communication.\nNext, you need to reenter the relationship with an open and trusting heart. You need to be able to begin these tasks without harboring negative or hurtful feelings. What has been done is in the past, and this is a step towards creating a new future. If you let the past in, you're only crippling your future. \nThe first step towards improvement is to examine your current communication patterns. Below are a few questions to ask, and share your thoughts with, each other. This should be done without ANY accusations. It is a time for revelation and pattern changes. In fact, you may not want to do all the questions at one time. The best way to complete this "mini-course" is to handle one pattern each week. Below are the first three weeks of this mini-course to get you started. We will be including the next three patterns next week, so be sure to bookmark this page!\nRemember, this is an exercise for a couple to complete. You can gain benefit doing it on your own, but you won't experience the ultimate reward of true intimacy in the same way as doing this together.\n\nNegative Pattern #1: Are you belittling your partner's communication? Check the tone of voice you are using. This is the most common area of misunderstanding and invalidation. The surprising fact is that most of the time you won't even realize you are doing it. Sugar goes down a lot easier than spice. Make it a special point to practice kindness in the way you say things, even if you

Almost anything you are good at, makes you attractive, except possibly in an area where your potential partner is competitive with you.  Or being good in an area that society in general does not respect.\n\nBeing good in the kitchen is a life asset!  Being good in the kitchen is attractive to men and women in general.  (I'm sure there is an exception out there somewhere!)

The perfect wife is an impossibility.  Sorry, but we just weren't made to be perfect.\n\nHumans are not only very individualistic, we are also dynamic.  We change from day to day, and hopefully we grow.  And there is no way two people are going to mesh perfectly in their characters, much less their in their growth.\n\nIf you try to be the perfect wife for someone, something is going to give.  If you give up yourself, in the end you will never be able to have the emotion or intensity to make for a truly good relationship.  This is a soul destroying choice.\n\nInstead, go for being the best and realest wife you can.  This requires true honesty, not just of events but honesty of your own needs and desires.  It also involves compromise which sometimes means that you won't get what you want, and sometimes that your husband won't get what he wants.\n\nIf you have a relationship based on honesty and fairness, it will be greater and richer than any relationship you could have based on perfection.

Nothing in life is a guarantee. However their are certain qualities that true wives have in general. Honesty, patience, love, understanding and the knowledge to know when shes being used. That last may take time to learn . Also she must be abele to recognize a good man.  A good msan is not insecure but satisfied with himself and thus will accept and respect and love a wife. By the way. dont leave,out respect. Good luck

I love mine and I know that A good marriage is an intimate and loving relationship which gives both partners security, friendship, companionship, support, comfort, and deep love that penetrates every aspect of life. None of this can be achieved without work and sacrifice.\n\n      Marriage may be compared to a plant that requires daily nurture, daily attention, daily care and cultivation. It will not develop of its own accord; only as effort and will are exerted will it grow and mature. For a marriage to succeed, both husband and wife must be committed to its success. They must build an enduring love relationship that is centered in the heart of their consciousness. Their relationship must be nurtured with the water of loyalty and love.

Usually, (but NOT always) hot babes spend all the time on themselves and not have any "family" skills.  In addition they would make any man turn twice and sometimes make us doubt their sincerity towards us or our relationship.   The perfect woman is the supportive spouse, the caring mother and the awesome lover.  You pick and choose the qualities that you most need in your wife, sort of like a buffet line, all three are good but some like one thing more than others.  You need that perfect balance.

There is nothing in the universe to make a human being 100 percent happy and satisfy.We pretend to be happy and satisfied.Thats why we hope & dream ,we work, we try our best ,we look forward for more love,more money ,more comforts.If once you achive everything in your life then you'll find no meaning no lead your life.The only thing you require to make or become happy and satisfied in married life is heartful love - we know love conquires everything.And the secondary things are sacrifice and adjustment.If your question points to physical matters then you should know that physically a man or woman can attract his / her partner at best one year.Thanks
