There is no such thing as the perfect wife, because let us be honest there is no perfect husband. Because you can not acheive perfection does not mean that you can not get close to it. No one can do everything right it is impossible. However, I have indeed learned several things that could make you a better spouse.

The most important thing to remember that your marriage is made up of two people and not just one. Marriage means sacrifice. I hate when people say that they lose themselves in a marriage and act as if it is the worst thing possible. When you get married your vows insure that two become one. Marriage is more than just taking a last name and living in the same house. You do lose some of yourself in a marriage and you are suppose to. It means that you make compromises and that you have another person to think of besides yourself.

Tip 1 - Do not be afraid of losing yourself in your marriage. What I mean by that is you take a new stage in life. Marriage changes your wants, needs, and routine ; so you need adjust to the change and adapt the attitude of a married woman. Trying to carry on as you did when you were single is not going to cut it. living as if you were still single makes you seem selfish and inconsiderate of your partner's feelings( yes men have feelings ). Tip one is touches the surface of all the other tips so keep it in mind as you read on.

Tip 2- Think about your spouse before you do things. You do not need to feel as if you have to answer to your husband every second of the day, but you do need to keep his feelings in mind before you take actions.

Tip 3-Make your man feel like a man. When a man feels like a man it keeps his confidence strong and it brings you closer. It is simple to do. For instance you could ask your husband to open a jar for you, or you could get him to drive most places. Each man is different but just figure out what makes him feel more manly and lay it on him every now and then.

Tip 4- Do not complain all the time. Men speak the truth when they say woman nag all the time. Picking and choosing your battles. Plan a day where he can just chill and watch sports all day and do not bother him during sports time.

Tip 5- Take care of yourself. Keep yourself looking nice. I am not saying be 24 hours a day stressed about your looks but show what attracted him to you. It will keep your relationship hot and, it also can make him keep himself up with you.

Tip 6- Put your husband before your friends.

Tip 7- Do not involve family members and friends in your marital issues.

Tip 8- Do not with hold sex. With holding sex might seem like a good idea to get what you want, but it hurts intimacy.

Tip 9- It is not complicated to keep your man happy.

I know that there are probably a few things that I left out, but these are the main things that I could think of when it comes to being a good wife. I could probably go on for months with what I have learned from my years of marriage but I won't. Remember every relationship is different and what works for one relationship might not be good for another. So pick and choose what tips will work for you.
