How to be a good wife? Be obsessed with your husband. I mean, you picked him out of hundreds of guys, right? And you love him. And if you want to make it even better, they want to feel that they're valued. Everybody does. It's human. So be obsessed. Be crazy about him. I personally am crazy about my husband. I tell him all the time to the point where sometimes it bugs him because I say it in front of people and embarrass him. I'll shout out, that's my husband! When he's performing or if he's playing a sport or something and it embarrasses him, but he loves it. I know he does. So be crazy about your husband. Brag about him in front of people, behind his back, in front of him, to your children. I brag about my husband to everybody and especially to my children and I think he loves it.

A way to be a good wife is to show appreciation for the little things that your husband does. Show gratitude to him and when you smile, even if you're having a hard time or if you feel tired, just smile. It brightens the day and it shows him that you love him, that you care. And when you try and smile, even when it's hard, you're thinking of him more than you're thinking of your own pain or you're thinking of yourself. And when he opens the door for you or when he buys you something little or when he thinks of you and sends you a nice text, just show him that you love him and reaffirm your love. That will strengthen your unity. Another way is to let him learn to lead. And there are different ways to have a marriage go, but let the husband learn to lead in family prayer and scripture study and things.

So one of the most important pieces of advice I could give a woman as far as being a wife is, is that men cannot read your mind. I think we have a tendency to want men to figure out our needs on their own, and it's very important that you verbalize those needs. Whether it's, hey, I just need you to listen to me for a while while I talk, or I need some time, space for myself, whatever those needs are, you really need to verbalize them. Let your husband know, because most of the time he wants to fulfill those needs, but he needs to know what they are first. All right. Hope that helps. Bye.

I think gratitude is really important to the marriage, to be able to say that we're grateful for even the little things. Like if my husband took out the trash, I would say, thank you, thank you so much for taking out the trash, that's special. And if he did something outside, like worked on the lawn, I'd go out and look at it and say, oh that looks really good, I can see that you worked hard on that, especially since he was allergic to blowing the grass that would be put up. And the gratitude helps you feel like, helps them feel like they are appreciated, and helps you feel like you're appreciated, and even for the little things, because marriage is full of little things that you and them do for each other, and that helps marriage feel special.

Please don't try to change your spouse. If your spouse enjoys something and maybe you're not comfortable with it, figure out why you're not comfortable with it and work on yourself. For example, my husband rides motorcycles. I know so many people who stop riding motorcycles because their wives won't let them. I'm sorry, what? You're an adult. They can do what they want. And figure out you. Why are you scared of them riding motorcycles? What can you do to change? I learned how to ride motorcycles and that got rid of my fear. I mean, I always thought they were cool, but it got rid of my fear and now I do it with my husband and I love it. Love it.

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like a lot of girls, a lot of women like to talk. I think about the song, we always talk about you usually, but occasionally I want to talk about me. So guys do like to talk. There are guys, sometimes they're listening, sometimes they tune you out, but it's nice when you can listen to them. And sometimes they'll want to talk, you know, if you're a wife and husband, you know, he'll want to talk about things you're not that interested in. But I'm sure a lot of times we talk about things that they don't really want to listen to, but they listen. So just, I don't know, being a good listener is a really good, really good thing to do. Also be willing to try new things. Don't just say no to everything. Sometimes there's things that make us uncomfortable and I think they'll be understanding, but I don't know, sometimes I say no too much. So say yes more.

I'm not perfect at this, but one way I try really hard to be a good wife is to remember when things frustrate me, that I love my husband more than that frustrates me. So if he leaves his shoes by the door and I trip over them, super annoying, don't feel good, in pain I tripped, but I love him and it was just something that he had forgotten and I hope that he gives me that same grace and I always try to extend that to him.
