I believe there are a lot of single women who think about what kind of mate they want to be. I know I have thought about it from time to time. My ideas about what I think would make a “good wife” does not always align with those of the men that I date.
Whenever the topic of marriage or “wife” duties come up, I always perk up and pay attention to what guys say. They usually have very specific things they believe a good wife should do. Always makes for an enlightening discussion!
This is probably a good discussion to have when you are serious. I think a lot of married couples are surprised when they realize how much they differ from their spouse’s expectations of a husband/wife.
What really informs a man’s idea about what makes a good wife, though? What informs a woman’s idea about what makes a good wife?
What do you think is most important?

Fred you are moist. Did my low self esteem comment really get you that rattled? It’s called self esteem! Not Blog Esteem. You are acting like a bitch.

An STD sounds like a personal problem to me. Keep it to yourself.

“what makes a good wife?”
Gentlemen remember what your Daddy told you – “Treat your wife like your girlfriend – and – Treat your girlfriend like your wife”

A good wife must keep the fridge full of beer.
A good wife is:
A cook in the kitchen, a lady the living room and a (FIB) in the bedroom.

Yes, Beretverde, and women want a man who is rich, looks like Tom Brady, and has 8 inches. Get over it.
