Do you want to be a better wife to your husband? This article will give you ideas and ways to help improve just that. Now and days, marriages are hard to come by, so make your marriage last!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

  • Open mind
  • willingness
  • motivation
  • loyalty
  • dedication

Step1
Communication is key to a good and solid marriage. As a wife your job is to communicate daily what is on your mind or you will snap. This is by experience. If you let things bottle up and feel that you cannot share with your husband anything, then your marriage is in instant trouble. Marriage is all about communication or it will not thrive.
Step2
As a wife be attentive to your husbands wants and needs. Overlooking these can trouble a marriage. A husband needs love, trust and understanding and wife needs this in return. It's an equal partnership.
Step3
A wife has to understand that the man is the head of the household. No this does not mean that the husband controls you or should control you, this will definitely hinder a marriage.
Step4
Intimacy is an important ingredient in keeping a marriage alive.
Step5
Being a wife involves being loyal and dedicated to her husband and vice versa of course. You made a lifelong vow and now it has to be followed. If this is vow is broken, then you broke a promise you made before God and witnesses.
Step6
Being a wife is very challenging. The best thing to do is take a day at a time. Praying will get you through this noble calling. You can be the role model wife if you choose to be!

Tips & Warnings

  • Being a wife does not mean you are a slave. If you are treated in this way, some counseling may be needed in you marriage.
  • If you are being physically or verbally abused in you marriage, don't stay silent, get help! This is obviously not a marriage but bondage.

on 5/8/2008 I don't think the husband should be the head of the household. This is sexist and counter productive to a healthy marriage. Men are equal to women and when they start thinking like this (as mine does) it can be a nightmare.
