A good wife would.....

Finish the sentence. I've been wondering what you guys think is important.

 

well...
IMO no one should get married. Especially legally.
If you want to be with someone forever, then wow, do it, that amazes me,
but marriage in the USA is a defect.

A good wife would not get married.

hope that doesn't offend you

 

oh but you're in canada
I've no idea what marriage is like there

godspeed, amiga

 

Remind me at regular intervals why she loves me, thank me for my hard work occasionally, gimme a lil "lovin" not just when she wants to but occasionally and I mean occasionally, when she dont. (just a show of willingness to please). Toot my horn for me to the folks we know, dont piss and moan all the damn time about anything and or everything, dont spend all our money, easy to please.

Ok thats about all.

Let me also add here that I have one of the good ones.

 

lol thanks guys, keep going.

 

...be your best friend

 

..have known better than to marry me!

 

OK, I was with a woman for 18 years - legally married for 15 of those, so I guess I write from experience. Being your best friend is a given. Understanding the nature of men helps.

A good wife would.....

Tell you when you had bad breath. (or a bugger on your nose)
Tell you if she didn't want sex (a good husband would let it go)
Be honest with you
Trust you
Not use deodorant knowing you loved her smell

Not get upset when you look at porn (or other fine women/men)
Not get upset when you go out with the guys (knowing ur bi)
Not get upset when you go to the Nude Beach (she was welcome but didn't get into it)
Not get jealous when you do a foto shoot with nude female models (alone)

A Rare Good Wife Would ...

Listen to you talk about your latest infatuation with someone else (and only be concerned how it affected your relationship)
Tell you to go to her and get it out of your system (Rule: don't bring anything home - no diseases - no babies)

I'm sure there are more but that's a start.

 

be my best friend and partner in life and not play the gender role,husband/wife game..
have a mutual and equal existence together..

 

Mutual and equal. I think that is a big one.

 

get excited when you talk about FPGA's

 

Make me pancakes before she scurries off to work.

 

Straighten me out when I'm wrong.

 

Never said better.

 

Give you a bit of lovin every night and day!

 

the female version of me,a friend,a lover,a free-thinker,being a pothead would def be a plus~as well as enjoying the food I cook,forgot- head in the shower

 

...not need to be asked.

 

Actually, that may not work.

In my ref to becoming infatuated with another woman I met (at a spiritual retreat no less) and gushed on about it to my best friend, my wife who told me to go to her and get it out of my system, the fact is, one of us woulda killed the other within a week.

This woman was into photography, a vegetarian, bisexual, nudist, Scorpio, mirror image of me in female form. She was intriguing and exciting, but I could sense that she did not fit like my wife.

There is something about "opposites attract." Maybe not really opposites, but complimentary differences, where you each fill the missing parts of the other to mesh well. (You can't spoon if you are facing different directions).

We've been happily married since 1982, and yes we still snuggle and hold hands and all that corny stuff too. Not always, but a lot. The "I love you's" make some people sick

There are countless elements, but for us it helped a lot to have the same basic core ethical beliefs, but beyond that, the more different we are, the better we can tackle life's problems from multiple angles. We often joke that between the two of us, we make about one fully competent adult.

The only downside I've seen is that if one of us is knowledgeable in some matter, the other automatically shies away from learning a lot about it, like "well, we already have that covered." That isn't necessarily good in all areas of life-learning.

When I first met my wife, I knew very quickly that we would be long-term friends, whether anything else came of it or not. Like holding hands and jumping off a cliff into deep water, we took the leap and thank our luck that we did so. Not sure if that's helpful, but that's my point of view!

 

....let me tuck the kids in every other night, not be lazy (hate lazy women), kiss me everyday, give me more than just sex for valentines day (I like chocolates too) and have a beer and a toke with me least once a week.
