How to get the husband you want

So, if you couldn't tell already, I'm writing so many posts, because Chris is still @ work, and I'm avoiding my HW. Anyway, one of the things I've done today was listen to a message from TVC, about how to get the husband you want. Drum roll, please. And, the final answer...be the wife you need to be!

Here are three things you need to do as a wife to get the husband you want:

1. Sexual fulfillment

Men desire sex. Duh! And, as a wife, it is your responsibility to become one with your husband. Sex is an important part of marriage. Like fire, it is warm, beautiful, and comforting when contained in the proper place.

2. Attraction

When your husband first met you, he thought to himself, "Holy Smokes! That girl is HOT!!!" Continue to make yourself attractive for your husband. In other words, don't let yourself go, because men are visual beings. Chris always recieved trophies gorwing up for playing soccer, boy scouts, and some other activities. That was then. I am his trophy now, and it is my duty to him to keep myself looking the best that I can. One caveat--men can't exp[ect their wives to look like something out of a magazine, because we weren't created by computer imaging; we were created by God.

3. Respect and Affirmation

Men have big egos, and they need to be praised continuously. Remind your husband on a daily basis that you are proud of him; that you enjoy how he makes you feel; that his work is an integral part of your existence as a family. Tell him that you're amazed by who he is and how he makes you a better person. When you do this, he will in turn show you more affection.

So, now here comes the tough part. You have to ask yourself if you are the wife your husband deserves. When you can honestly say that you are, you'll have the husband you want!

Interesting thoughts from TVC. :) The attraction one is difficult... I am not sure I want to be David's trophy.... but I do like to be healthy! I do understand what it's getting at. Obviously it takes more than sex, good looks, and praise to make a marriage (we both know it's a lot of work!) But those are important aspects. I think the end is very important... instead of always wanting our husbands to be a certain way, we should be working on bettering ourselves as good wives! (And hopefully they'll catch on. ;)

Marriage is definitely the most challenging thing I've ever committed to! But, at the same time, it's the most rewarding experience I've ever had :) You don't have to worry about being David's trophy, because you're a great wife and mother. Besides, he's not the type of guy who'd want a trophy wife ;)
