dreamgal Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 1.Choose Joy It’s true: A happy wife makes a happy life. Please don’t use moodiness as an attempt to manipulate your partner, but in all things rejoice, because that’s the right thing to. 2. Honor Her Wishes Give weight to what your partner thinks is important. Make those things a priority that matter most to her, whether it’s having dinner ready when she gets home from work or keeping the house tidy or limiting computer time. Don’t make her ask twice. ***. Give Her Your Undivided Attention Yes, I know that women are masters of multi-tasking, but when your partner is speaking to you, make a point to lay other tasks aside, look into her eyes, and listen to what she is saying with the goal of understanding and remembering her words. 4.Don’t Interrupt Have you ever been around a person who won’t let you finish a sentence? That gets old fast. Even if you think you already know what your partner is going to say, allowing her to say it without cutting her off mid- sentence shows both respect and common courtesy. 5. Emphasize Her Good Points Sure, she has her faults (as do you), but dwelling on them will only make you (both) miserable. Choose instead to focus on those qualities in your partner that you most admire. 6. Be Thankful Cultivate an attitude of gratitude. Don’t take your partner for granted. Be appreciative for everything she does for you, whether big or small. Always say thank you. 7. Smile at Her Smiles spread happiness. Smiles have even been shown to create happiness. Smiles are contagious. And a smile makes any woman more beautiful. 8. Respond Physically Did you know that the way you respond (or don’t respond) to your partner’s romantic overtures has a profound effect on her self-confidence? Don’t slap her away when he tries to hug you or make excuses when she’s in the mood. Your enthusiastic cooperation and reciprocation will not only assure her of your love, but will make her feel well-respected, too. 9. Kiss Her Goodbye I once read about a study done in Germany which found that spouses whose wives kissed them goodbye every morning were more successful than those who weren’t kissed. Success and respect often go hand-in-hand, so be sure to send her off right, and don’t forget to greet her with a kiss when she returns home, for good measure. 10. Prepare Her Favorite Foods Although the rest of the family may not be overly-fond of spaghetti,bcs your partner loves it, try to make it at least two or three times a month as a way to honor her. Next time you’re planning meals, give special consideration to your partner’s preferences 11. Don’t Complain Nobody wants to be around a whiner or complainer. It is grating on the nerves. accept the things you can’t change, courageously change the things you can, seek wisdom to know the difference. 12. Admire Her Voiced compliments and heartfelt praise are always welcome, but you should also make it your habit to just look at yourspouse in a respectful, appreciative way. Think kind thoughts toward her. she’ll be able to see the admiration in your eyes. 13. Don’t Argue You are not always right, and you do not always have to have the last word. Be the first to say, “I’m sorry.” Be willing to accept the blame. It takes two to argue, so “abandon a quarrel before it breaks out.” 14. Forgive her Shortcomings In the words of Ruth Bell Graham, “A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.” Please do not hold grudges against your spouse. Do not allow a root of bitterness or resentment find a home in your heart. 15. Protect Her Name Honor your spouse in the way you speak of her to family and friends. Guard her reputation and do not let minor disagreements at home cause you to speak ill of her in public. Live in such a way that it will be obvious to others why your partner married you in the first place. copied but edited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
