In the twenty-first century, the role of a wife has completely changed from the 1950s. Can there be a perfect one? Probably not. However, in a marriage, there is always the opportunity to improve yourself, for both you and your partner.
Instructions
1. Believe in him. Your husband needs to know that if he fails to succeed at something or makes a mistake, you'll still be right there. Your emotional support gives him confidence.
2. Accept who he is. No one is flawless, and though there may be some things you'd like to change about him, he is who he is. He needs to feel loved by you for who and what he is, not what he could be changed into.
3. Give him guy time. Just as women like to bond with shopping, phone conversations or other quality time, men need time to communicate and spend time with male friends. It can be a stress reliever and a time for them to kick back with friends.
4. Communicate gently. This doesn't mean you have to be subtle or indirect when talking with your husband, just be aware of your tone in an argumentive state that could be described by him as nagging.
5. Encourage him. If your husband has a dream or something you know he would absolutely love to do but needs a little nudge, give him a little push and boost of confidence. He'll see your support but also take your encouragement as reinforcement of your desire for him to be happy.
6. Be direct and to the point. Men can sometimes get lost in too much detail, and aren't the best at mind-reading. If you want or need something, tell him--don't expect him to know what's on your mind.
