To be an equal partner, a good listener, his number one supporter, to pick him up when he is down and to give him a swift kick in the behind when needed, and to be his best friend. To love him unconditionally and if he does the same to you, he and you is all that you both need.

A good wife is not demanding nor domineering does not get upset or nag constantly. A good wife does not try to change her husband but accepts him for who he is she does not belittle or berate her husband. She is supportive but will also give her opinion when she thinks something may be a mistake. She respects her husband for what he gives to the family both emotionally and monetarily. She knows when to be quiet and let her husband work through a problem his own way. And this is what I love about my wife the most she knows her own value and does not need me to follow her around telling her how great she is but when I do tell her she lights up and has genuine appreciation for a kind word said to her.

A good wife is not a perfect being, we all make mistakes, it is that she and he have the ability,of communication, and compromise. That you are able to work out the problems and kinks that develop. in most relationship. A good wife should love me as much as I love her and try not to forget the Special days in your relationship. She should be your best friends and enjoy doing things together But also take time for herself to do some of the things a man does not enjoy.

A good wife is honest, respectful of herself and her husband and kids. She never complains, rather she communicates.
She is not easily swayed by others.
She never ever trys to change her husband to her advantage; she accepts and apprciates him for who he is, not for who she thinks he should be. She even kisses his hand once in a while. She goes out of her way to make his lot easier, cause the two work hand in hand; his lot becomes easier so does hers; both are connected. She without a shadow of a doubt believes in and respects him. She always has a polite word, a nice comment, it's a good idea to be generous in this area. Above all she never refuses him and or herself their marital rights. She never gossips about their personal life.
When the situation rises she knows how to defend herself and her nest. Above all she must never be a push over. If and only if she believes in obedience she obeys her husband, yet at the same time she never allows him to control her thinking, her speech and her overall personality. She understands a good marriage is not always 50/50 and works accordingly.

loving, faithful, attinitive, loyal, and all the things that are in the vows, also one who cooks and cleans and takes care of all the things around the house,(im not trying to be 1950's on you but that stuff is good too) more like a 50\50 thing it takes two these days and that means in the household as well, I feel that I am a great wife because not only do i work as a team with my mate but i work and cook, faithful loving and all the good stuff that you should display towards your mate. that makes our relationship run very smoothly im a lil old fashioned but in to todays routine

Well first off, a good wife has chose her husband carefully. He must be a good husband too.
She must communicate well. Marriage is a two way street, things in life change and sometimes the spouses must change too, but you must not try change your spouse for no good reasons.
She will put as much effort into the relationship as she takes away from it.
She understands her husband and what he wants out of the relationship, and she is willing to communicate what she wants as well.
If things are not going well, she is not too quick to leave the relationship. She picked a good man, he must be worth some effort.
If there are children, she will be a good mother acting more selflessly with them than in the relationship itself. She will see to it that her husband is a good father or not a father at all.

A good wife is just half of a great marriage. Takes two to make a marriage work and there has to be respect.

Easy to be when you have an equally, "good husband". I was just reading a journal report on resilience and it clearly stated in a study done by Schoon in the UK that children that grew up in homes where the parents shared chores and duties equally grew up the most well balanced. Those who grew up in homes where women were judged harshly for being individuals grew up with increased self doubt, blame and guilt.

What it means depends on the husband or prospective husband.
I've no interest in marriage, but if I did, I would want someone honest, loyal, and sure of her priorities, someone who will negotiate the terms of the relationship in good faith while respecting, as I do, that sometimes circumstances do change. She would need not only to want to be married and be committed to that, but want to be married to me, and be mature enough to want to work through difficulties rather than tossing the relationship when things don't go exactly as hoped.
But, as I said, I don't ever intend to marry.
