Recommended Posts

The purpose of getting married is to spend your whole life with the person you love most..

I have read a lot of books regarding tips for happy marriages but it is nice to have an idea from people in VJ.

Could anybody share some tips especially for newly wed couples like us?

Many people would want to read some tips and advices on how they could keep a concordant relationship inspite of different cultures.

I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all that I am, in the only way I know how -- completely and forever......

HOW TO BE A GOOD WIFE

Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal, on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.

Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so that you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.

Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the home just before your husband arrives, gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift, too.

Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair, and if necessary change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.

Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer, dishwasher, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad he is home.

Some don'ts: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he is late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.

Listen to him. You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.

Make the evening his. Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, his need to be home and relax.

The Goal: Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

When there's a disagreement that can't be settled by talking it out, we both agree to settle it with an arm wrestling match. So far I'm 5-0 and she's wanting to reconsider a more evenly matched competition....a game of darts maybe.

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

candid witch-Have this smiley ready for certain comments :bonk::)

As for a serious answer...we have only been married almost 4 years so we don't have long years of experience. But compromise that you both are good with, understanding that you won't always agree, remembering you are from two different cultures, and realizing some things just aren't worth arguing about are good things in marriage. Always be honest with your feelings and try placing yourself in their shoes sometimes. :)

I have read that a "good sex" cannot save a "bad relationship"...
