If someone says "you'd make a good wife," what exactly do they mean?

Answer 1

That you have a lot of good qualities that that man would like to have in the woman that he will eventually spend the rest of his life with. Very much a compliment!!

Answer 2

It means that you must be a very special person to have all of the qualities of a wife that someone wants to spend the rest of their life with.

Answer 3

Men in general - look for things that they know and love about their mothers - First because she is a wife to his dad and the qualities match. Second they don't want mom, but she is the best Representative for the roll. Men look for mom, while women look for dad......scary but true.

You would make a good wife and he sees the qualities that he desires for his wife to have and you my dear are on the list......congrats!!!! Not many women get to hear this.

Answer 4

The way you are could be possible marriage material. You have good "wife" behavior. Or plainly they might just want to marry you but don't know how to bring up the subject.

Answer 5

What part of that sentence do you not understand?

You'd = you would
