The Perfect Wife?


The notion of being the "perfect" wife could make you laugh or cry, but it sure is entertaining. Check out what it takes... courtesy of The Associated Content.


The perfect wife knows how to provide the harmonic balance within the family unit. She knows how to balance career, domestic chores, taking care of the children and support her husband emotionally. The perfect wife has many roles to fulfill and finds it both a challenge and rewarding. Not every woman wants to be the perfect wife. Many women will purposely try to be something different to establish their independence. Even those women that rebuff the idea of a perfect wife, read on. There are many deep emotional rewards for striving to be the perfect wife.(Uhhmmm, what?)

The perfect wife knows how to smile at those jokes that aren't really that funny. She manages a small laugh and desn't remind her husband that he has told that joke before repeatedly.

The perfect wife finds the energy to pick up the piles of clothes, socks strewn about and the glasses that never make it back to the sink. Instead of clearing up after everyone and feeling like a maid, the perfect wife is proud of her home.

The perfect wife wakes in the middle of the night to toss the covers back onto her husband because she wants him to stay warm. She doesn't sit up and wonder why she had to marry someone that thrashes about and snores so loudly.

The perfect wife learns how to cook the dishes that are her husband's favorite to eat. Eventually, she even learns to like some of these dishes herself.

The perfect wife does not look at just today. The perfect wife does not keep score as to who has contributed the most or contributed what to a relationship. She values her marriage and embraces her friendship with her husband.

OMG! My mom, who is part of the so called "Greatest Generation (born 1931) is as close to the "Perfect Wife" as I have ever seen, and I am not sure if she would laugh? gag? or just shake her head in dismay at this description of the Perfect Wife.

Would a man really want this kind of a doormat woman as his soulomate, love of his life, wife? If so, as a newly single person, I am REALLY in trouble.
