3. Be supportive

Be it a career, a hobby or anything else that your husband pursues, he’d need and want your support. Being supportive in a marriage is not just about being there when the partner is having a difficult time. It is about appreciating or praising him when he achieves a milestone, or when he overcomes his fear and tries something new.

Supporting is not always saying good things. It is also about offering constructive criticism to encourage him to improve in whatever he is doing. For example, being supportive of your husband’s new business idea when you are financially comfortable is a good way to boost his confidence and strengthen the relationship.

Not everything that your husband likes could interest you. You don’t have to do things that he likes, but give your husband the space to pursue his interests and show some curiosity about what he’s doing.

If you know your husband and you know that he likes to experiment with new things you propose, don’t hesitate telling him about what you want to try; but you have to be careful if your husband is insecure. Being a good wife is not all about being a submissive or obedient wife that caters to every need of her husband (hello! This is not the ‘50s). It is about being the perfect partner who contributes equally to the relationship and complements the husband’s personality. Marriages are mutual, so if you want a good husband, you have to be willi...

1. Express your love

Do you love your husband? Do you feel happy and safe when you are with him? If you have committed to spend a lifetime with a man through nuptials, you must love him. But loving is not enough. A relationship thrives on the expression of that love, among other emotions. So if you love your husband, show him how much he means to you. You don’t have to make elaborate expressions of love every day. It could just be little gestures such as a kiss or a peck on the cheek now and then, or making his favorite breakfast once in a while or picking a movie he likes to watch together.
