It's time to face the truth: The World's Greatest Wife doesn't exist. Regardless of how much we ladies try to be Martha Stewart, we aren't. Even if we all were it wouldn't matter, because what works for one husband may not work for the next. Here are a few ways to improve your relationship with your man.

Pick Your Battles: Ladies please understand that just as your aren't perfect neither is your husband. Do not think that you can change your husband. Your husband is who he is. He cannot change his character and neither can you.

It's important ladies that you pick your battles with your husband. For instance perhaps he squeezes the toothpaste from the end and you squeeze from the middle. Instead of arguing and lecturing him about it get a tooth paste pump. They sell them at any supermarket. This is a solution to the problem with out lecturing. A major plus.

Also, keep private information within the marriage. Do not go and run your mouth to anyone about your private conversations unless he gives the okay first. Its important that you realize that men don't like their personal business spread all over, even to your family.

Be Attentive To Him: It can be very hard to take care of children and a husband too, but ladies sometime its important that you take care of your husband. Listen to him when he has a bad day, try to help him work through any problems he has. If he doesn't want to talk right at that moment,bring him some coffee ( or what ever drink he favors) and assure him that when he is ready to talk you will be there to listen. Just try to make sure that he has what he needs that way he isn't stressed all the time, even little
