A Good Wife Is Kind to Her Husband


Listen Later

Tune in as I talk about how kindness plays a role in being a good wife. I plan on doing another video about being a good husband in the future.

Let's face it. Men make mistakes. None of us are perfect, but when you are married..and this is why I appreciate my wife Debbie so much.. kindness after we men make a mistake plays a huge rule in keeping the emotional connection.

It can be easy to become frustrated with you partner, but being kind is a big part of showing love, appreciation and that you care. It also shows that you accept your partner even though they have made a mistake. Most people don't take it too well when someone reminds them of a mistake they made in an unkind way. This can be even more unsettling and even hurtful when it's done by the one person in the world that you expect to have your back and be there for you.

Some things that you can do as a wife to be kind to your husband is be quiet. Sometimes being quiet and listening without being critical is all that is needed or desired from your husband. Try to be empathetic and understanding.

When you see that your husband didn't have the best day a random act of kindness like preparing his favorite meal, or doing a chore that is normally his will have added effect. There are so many little kind gestures that you can do, as a wife, to show love to your husband.
