Ways To Be A Wife

What are the ways to make being a wife easier?

Being a wife is not easy and that may be one of the biggest understatements ever uttered by anyone in the history of mankind or any other kind. Not only do you have to do what is required of you by society as a woman, but you have to keep that man and possibly some children from falling completely apart. Being a wife you are expected to keep everything running smoothly while supporting your partner and always presenting the best possible image of your family.

Is being a wife about something really simple or is it the most complex role in all of humanity? It is both. Being a wife means that you have to support that big ego of the man you are with, but at the same time you have to be able to be able to know yourself. In many ways the role of being a wife resembles that of the President of the United States, you have a contingency of people that are counting on you to run your world and you have to realize that you can’t please everyone.

Your husband may be disappointed that he can’t see you as much or your family may think that you are too submissive or your in-laws may think you are too controlling…all at once! Being a wife is one of the most difficult roles in all of the world to learn, but when it is done right it can change the life of everyone it comes in contact with.

Here are 3 tips for keeping the romance alive:

When you go out to eat, even if it is spur of the moment, try to eat somewhere without a kids menu or sticky booth every once in a while. Do this to enjoy each other’s company and experience something new together. It is, after all, our experiences that make us bond and give hope to keeping the romance alive.
Almost all marriages will at some point go through a period of time where 99% of the talk is of kids and work. While you may never ban talk about the kids, it is in the best interest of keeping the romance alive to ban work talk now and again. This isn’t always necessary, but it is good for both of you to get away sometimes.
Remember when you were first together and listened to music together and it made lasting memories for you? Well, you can do that again if you just take the time. Make mental notes of what song is playing in major moments of your life and reintroduce them later on. Keeping the romance alive is about remembering the moments that keep you together.
