Men and women, what do you think makes a good wife? And, for the men what would you rate your wife?

* Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.
* Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.
* Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.
* Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables.
* During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.
* Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.
* Be happy to see him.
* Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.
* Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.
* Don't greet him with complaints and problems.
* Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.
* Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.
* Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
* Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.
* A good wife always knows her place

Only a man married to a woman can answer such a question.  Some like Cleopatras, some like Jezebels!  Some like Sandra Dee. . .Lousy with virginity. . .others like the Madonna kind.

Different strokes for different folks.  One size does not fit all. . . NEVER!

food
sex
and
personality

A nun outside, and a w*@$e in the bedroom!

@chychy,
I disagree.It's not a man's world.Every thing ,every struggle a man does,is to please a woman somewhere.That woman could be his wife,girlfriend,mother,sister,concubine or even an acquaintance.But for sure,without the woman,the man has little reasons for hardwork.

Secondly,have you not heard that even though the man is the head,the woman is the neck that TURNS the head?

IT IS A WOMAN'S WORLD!!

@Octupus

You be correct woman! kisses and hugs.

I couldn't have said it better. Seriously women give themselves too much headache trying to play the roles of men. Be a woman.

Its virtually impossible to be in any form of relationship with a person and never have disagreements. Therefore your question is one of those to be cast to the inner abyss, well if you become his mat to walk all over, he might still get angry if you got dirty or showed wear and tear.

Every relationship is different. From my experience it depends on your partners needs, one man's food is anothers poison.

thanks for your replies,but this is also a culture matter,what is a wife`s behaviour towards her husband in Nigerian culture,or african?he often tells me that if i was an african woman i wouldnt say this or that,when i think i`ve done nothing wrong, thanks

You know what, if ands and buts are silly. He didn't marry an Nigerian (Africa is a continent) he married you an American (I presume) and he knew there were differences just like you know. Tell him you can't have your cake and eat it.

PS Nigerina women don't act as door mats either, he would of course want you to believe that because that way he can pretend to have something over you.

This i believe is a housewife's duty not for a career woman except you want to kill her.A wife is a partner/helpmate not a slave or househelp.If you you have any feelings for her you wont expect all the task above from her.

What makes a good wife. . .

I would say obedience; that’s the major quality that makes up a good wife; every man would love and respect an obedient woman.
