What Wives Want

Just like husbands, there are certain things a wife wants in returns as well. These wants are a little different then want a husbands wants, but are still just as important and include the same items such as wanting to be listened to and quality time.

1. A wife wants to be told daily that she is loved. This doesn’t have to be done just as a simple “I love you” which can in time seem an important comment made out of habit, but includes things such as surprise hugs and kisses.

2. Just as husbands, there will be time when she will need understanding and forgiveness when she makes a mistake or is difficult to be around.

3. Wives want to have conversations, so don’t let the conversation leave spiral down to nothing, but talk about anything such as the kids, jobs, weather, and anything else that happens.

4. Making time to spend with your wife and your kids is very important to your wife. Quality doesn’t just happen, but needs to be an activity you actively seek to fulfill and has to be a high priority.

5. Continuous negative responses can end up pushing your wife and kids away from you. By saying yes more then no you can greatly improve your relationship with your wife.

6. Your wife wants to be not just heard, but listened to. By listening to what your wife is really saying, you are showing her it is important to you too and therefore, she is important to you as well.

7. Don’t forget how much a little affection and kindness can help your relationship. Surprise kiss as well as manners goes a long way with wives.

8. It doesn’t take much for household and child rearing responsibilities to weigh down your wife and make her feel overwhelmed. All household responsibilities, includes household tasks, child rearing, holding a job, and so on should be equally divided among both husband and wives. Sit and discuss what is equal shares and agree on the final answer.

9. Remember she needs a day of here and there throughout the month to give herself a break from the worry and the schedule of keeping up on work, kids, and the house. This break in the schedule to relax and distress is important to being emotionally and physically healthy.

10. A commitment to take care of your own health issues. Your wife is your lover and your friend, but not your mother so take responsibility for your own health.

Wives are no different then their husbands. They wish to be held, loved, and respected with what they think and do too. These simple steps will help husbands strengthen the relationship they have with their wives and make both partners happy in the end.
