How to be the perfect wife

HOW TO BE THE PERFECT WIFE

A complicated question, as each man will have a different idea of what a perfect wife will be. A man who is obsessed with sex will want a wife who is insatiable and wants to go to bed with him often; he may well prefer that she is adventurous, kinky and broadminded rather than good at cooking. A man who is sensitive, learned and educated would probably prefer a woman who is quiet, shy and deep to one who is rowdy, noisy and extrovert. This is why we have all different types of people and different types attract different types. Sometimes we are attracted to someone who is similar to us; sometimes, someone who is entirely different.

The perfect wife will be someone who has all the qualities that particular husband was seeking. Each husband will have his check list of wishes, desires and needs and she will be able to fulfill every wish that he has. If he finds her lacking and thinks to himself that she is not suitable or good enough for him it may simply mean that he chose the wrong person to marry, or he is expecting too much out of life, as the odds are that someone else would be quite happy and content with the same woman acting in the same ways.

But the overall picture of a perfect wife is this:

She never nags, moans or complains, even when she has every right to and would be totally justified in doing so.

She never overspends or wastes money, particularly if the husband was the one who worked hard for it.

She never cheats or looks at another man, even if he cheats regularly. She is attractive and dresses nicely and in a feminine way.

She does not drink a lot, smoke a lot or take drugs.

She is interesting and great at conversation, a good listener, never boring.

She is practical and can turn her hand to repairing things and decorating so that you do not have to waste money on calling someone in.

She can turn a humble piece of pork into a cordon bleu, five-star meal in just thirty minutes.

She thinks all of your jokes are fantastic and tells her family and friends how wonderful you are.

She encourages you in all you do, taking every opportunity that comes her way to support you or help you.

Of course, there is a down side to having a perfect wife. Other men will find her fascinating and attractive so if you do not watch out and make sure you are the perfect husband, you risk losing her to someone who treats her better. On second thoughts, maybe it is better to be content with a less than perfect wife who stays with you.
