"Working on our relationship fundamentals, learning how to be the best we can be. Today we're going to be talking about how to be a good wife. I'm Joe Cuenco with Family Resources. Just how should you be a good wife? The first step is going to be really communication with your husband. Understand what it is he wants from the relationship that's really special and intimate to you too. It may be a question of fixing his favorite dinner. Maybe he needs his special place on Sundays to watch the football games uninterrupted. A lot of wives do that. For example, you know exactly where he is. But it really is an issue of, of being able to give take and understand. The relationship fundamentals of trust, friendship, love, respect and communication are all key things. And those are really paramount in a relationship and if you don't really understand those well then I would suggest that you attend a relationship workshop or a marriage education classes because here is where the experts can help you fine tune and understand how to make your relationship successful, and also really fine tune it to take it to the next level. There are special things that you can do. Men enjoy back rubs. They enjoy a Martini at the door. They enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and every once in a while I think they'd appreciate it if you showed up at the door in Saran wrap. However there's other things you can do just to make him happy and make him feel that he's the most important person in your life. Send him a text message here or two and just tell him how much you love him. But you need to have fun; you need to have common interests. So are you dong things together? Do you play golf together? Do you read together, do you have quiet time, so you have fun times? So it's very important that you build upon these things. But you need to be prepared to give and ultimately you will receive because it, it really becomes a two way street. It's not a 50/50 proposition. It's more than that. The more you give, the more you receive. Support him, make him feel important. Learn how to strengthen your relationship, strengthen your understanding of relationship fundamentals and that's the best way to be a good wife, and make a happy husband and a happy family relationship.
