Being a good wife is not something that is so eay, even if you have a near-perfect husband.
To be a good wife,There are some thing that is needed to be done to achieve that. Below are steps that is needed to be put into consideration:
1.Express your feelings and needs effectively. Your
husband doesn't have clairvoyant powers. If you want something, ask. If
something is wrong, say so. Don't drop hints or figure he'll "come
around" or you'll never get anything done. If you want to be able to
express how you feel, you should be able to speak with a positive tone
and to listen to what your husband says instead of being accusatory.
Here are some ways to do it:
- Send "I messages." Instead of accusing him of not meeting your
needs, focus the conversation on yourself. For instance, tell him, "I
feel ignored when I don't see you until 6:30 every night."
- Listen to what he says. When he tells you something, repeat what he
said back to him so that he knows you understand. For example, "I hear
you saying that you're worried about finances, and that's why you've
been working late."
- Avoid passing judgment. Let him finish what he's saying before you
respond. After he's done talking, offer a solution. For instance, say,
"I'm willing to live on a tighter budget if that means that I get to see
you more often."
2.
Roll with the changes. You will experience crises
together, from the loss of a job to the death of a parent. You may
suffer financial hardship, or you may find yourselves unexpectedly
wealthy and unsure of what to do. Your marriage can survive the changes
if you're willing to keep communicating and being flexible. Here are
some things to keep in mind as you learn to accept change:
- Remember that whatever changes happen, you and your husband are
dealing with them as a team, not as people on the opposite side of a
battle. Dealing with the changes together makes them much more
manageable.
- Roll with the changes in your love life. Though you and your husband
may still be passionately in love, don't get disappointed if he doesn't
want to make love every night or to kiss you twenty times a day like he
did when you were newlyweds. You can still keep your love strong
without wanting it to be exactly the same as it was when you first got
married.
- Roll with the changes with your bodies. Though you may work hard to
stay fit and eat healthy, you have to accept that your 50-year-old
selves probably aren't as svelte as your 25-year-old selves, and that's
okay.
- .Be good companion:Meet your husband's needs without compromising your own.
If he needs more sex, then open your mind to the possibilities. If he
needs time with friends or time to pursue a hobby, then don't be
possessive. He'll be happier, and he'll be grateful to you for your
respect. You should meet his needs, or at least some of them, without
doing anything that feels uncomfortable to you.
- If he wants more sex, then consider having more sex with him, or
think about why it doesn't appeal to you. But do not force yourself to
do something you're not comfortable with just for his benefit. Instead,
talk to him about it so he understands how you're feeling, and together
you can decide on something you're both comfortable with.
- If he's missing his time out with the boys, let him have a boy's night and have a girl's night of your own.
- If he wants time to pursue his hobbies, let him take the time. He'll
grow as a person from doing his own thing, and this will benefit your
relationship.
