The Good Wife. (SOS!!) by Godmother(f): 11:57am On May 12, 2015
I need help on qualities that make a woman a good wife or a man a good husband. I am writing an article for a project and I'm not married. I don't want to start writing theoretical points but want my project to stand out.

Also qualities that will prevent divorce

Ask your mum and dad, they'll tell you more. (Except if they're not an example of what you're looking for)

as someone said, you can have all the best qualities that MR A requires but if you are married to MR B then its pointless. compatibility and understanding before anything is the key.

Tpia, the essence of me asking and not using google is so I can get people's personal opinions and tips and not just write based on theory. That's why I decided not to search the web

The qualities of a good spouse is NEVER generic.
It is VERY subjective.
You will need to ask the individuals involved. kiss

For me:
BEING EMPLOYED ALWAYS AND BEING DOMESTICATED(A GOOD COOK) top my list.

Being GOD/SATAN-FEARING or "FAITHFUL" ? . . . .Totally BORING and IRRELEVANT!!! kiss
Re: The Good Wife. (SOS!!) by cococandy(f): 4:58pm On May 12, 2015
For me it is empathy.
It tops my list.

If at any given time, a man or a woman is able to put himself/herself in another's shoes then I believe they will make a good spouse.
Because once you're able to do that, you will without effort become fair,kind,tolerant and accommodating. You will ALWAYS treat him/her the way you want to be treated by him/her.

Some questions don't have simple answers and those on relationship fall into this category because we as humans are not a simple bunch to analyse or even categorise. What makes marriages work boils down to the interactions between the individuals involved so while a trait maybe lacking in some it won't result in the same outcome. What is the point of this preamble? Work with who you have not on any fantasy or false expectations. This means you have to carefully select the person because guess what? People change very slowly if at all. If you don't choose someone who you can work with, you are already bound to have more clashes than you maybe able to resolve.

Secondly, love is an amalgamation of various characteristics, the emotional aspect is only a small part of it and can easily be overruled by other aspects so do not rely on your emotions. "We are in love" is the blinker some put on to ignore some other important matters like trust, patience, kindness, etc believing "love" will conquer all. What they call love is that heady emotion, that emotion does not conquer trials and tribulations, in fact it may even put more fire into trials and tribulations. It is those who can put emotions in check and have a moment to review things that will overcome.

Finally, marriage will be enjoyed according to the amount of effort you put into making it work and that goes for both partners, no one should wait for the other to make all the effort. Play your part and encourage & compliment your partner as they do theirs.

Marrying your friend is one of the best recipe for a good and lasting marriage. I got married to a woman who
is my lover and a friend and i can tell you that if given the opportunity, i will marry her again and again and again.
