What is your idea of the "perfect wife?" What things can a wife do to be the best person she can be to her husband?

She'd be my intellectual equal. My partner in crime. My backup in the tough times. Of course I would be the same things for her.
Oh and if her Dad owned a liquor store and had Box Seats at Yankee Stadium...that wouldn't hurt either.....lol

Someone who shares a lot of the same interests: You can't enjoy going out together if one likes Italian Dinners when the other doesn't.
Someone who takes care of herself: A lot of women ask why their husbands look at other women. Long t-shirts and flip flops that make you feel comfortable gets old and is unattractive.
Someone that can make her own decisions: Making all the decisions gets old to.
She has to have some kind of hobby: The women that complain about a man spending too much time in the garage are the ones that don't have hobby's of their own. Again, you need space.
And most important, great sex!

well the perfect wife would first have to have the perfect husband also and the two together will be perfect and then everything else will come into place for them...but i don't think there is such a thing lol....you cant run your life trying to be the perfect wife just meet his needs and do things you know he likes for you to do and if he is happy he should in return do these things for you..that's how it works...good luck

Three things make the "Perfect wife" in my mind.
1. Be my best friend in life.
2. Be a supportive partner.
3. Be an insatiable tiger in bed.

There's no such thing as perfect wife... coz we are living in an imperfect world.
But you can be at your best..
And that is be yourself... don't pretend that you're someone to be perfect or best... just be what you are.
I'm sure your husband love's and married you because of what you are... so don't get so excited ... take it easy.
You will be fine just what you are right now.
Good luck.

there isn't enought space on Yahoo Answers to complete that. Everyone wants something different. Trust me. You can't make yourself into the perfect wife for someone, you can only look for someone to appreciate you for who you are when you are what they are looking for.

I usually don't recommend books because I hate it when people recommend them to me, but I honestly wish I could buy "Love & Respect" for every married (and engaged) person I know. So try and hear me out...
It states that a woman's driving need is to feel loved and when she feels loved she feels happy. A man's driving need is to feel respect and when he feels respected he is happy. When a woman feels unloved she acts out disrespectfully to her husband, and when a man feels disrespected he acts out unloving towards his wife and the crazy cycle begins.
If this is setting off any light bulbs for you read on...
"I wrote this book out of desperation that was turned into inspiration. As a pastor, I counseled married couples and could not solve their problems. The major problem I heard from wives was, "He doesn't love me." Wives are made to love, want to love, and expect love. Many husbands fail to deliver. But as I kept studying Scripture and counseling couples, I finally saw the other half of the equation. Husbands weren't saying it much, but they were thinking, "She doesn't respect me." Husbands are made to be respected, want respect, and expect respect. Many wives fail to deliver. The result is that five out of ten marriages land in divorce court (and that includes evangelical Christians).
As I wrestled with the problem, I finally saw a connection: without love from him, she reacts without respect; without respect from her, he reacts without love. Around and around it goes. I call it the Crazy Cycle - marital craziness that has thousands of couples in its grip."
I am not even half-ways through the book and workbook, and while my husband is not studying the material with me it has already worked miracles in my no-longer-failing marriage.
If you do believe in God I highly recommend this biblically based book. It's not a "religious freak" book or anything but it's nice to know that it is based on things in the bible and not just some theory or pop psychology book, and it's been a #1 seller for over 2 years now... it's working for thousands of couples!

Just be his best friend and listen if he has a problem. If you can do those simple things, the rest takes care of itself. Because he will tell you if somethings wrong, so just listen and react to his needs.
This goes for sex, money, jobs, family, etc...
