Wives just don't get enough
credit for what they do for their husbands. Many husbands are not necessarily
as communicative as they ought to be, but deep down most men secretly love
certain things about their wives they may not share with the world — or even
their wives. So, wives, here are a mere ten things your husbands secretly love
about you.
- Wives just do things —
Wives
don't usually wait to do things. When they see something that needs to be done,
it gets done. And more often than not, you don't even know it was done unless
she had asked you to do it, and you finally remembered after three or four
weeks.
- Wives remember things that we don't —
Men have
a tendency to forget things the moment they are told. Wives, on the other hand,
have an incredible memory, which can be both bad and good. They can remember all
the ridiculous things husbands have done. Fortunately, most wives look the
other way or even outright forgive their husbands for some of these foolish
things. In this sense, husbands love their wives for this trait.
- Wives who have children are incredible mothers —
Wives
with children — no matter how many — are incredible. Research has shown the
positive education levels of children are the primary result of mothers and
their educational levels. Granted, mothers do way more than help their children
with their studies and homework. They are positive roles models. In many homes
when the children leave and call back home, they always ask to talk to their
mothers. Pro athletes most often refer to their mothers when talking about
their success.
- Wives love us despite our stupidity —
You have
to admit it: Some men do stupid things, and their wives usually roll their eyes
while they simultaneously shake their heads. Ironically, even after we do or say
things way beyond our limit of brilliance, they still love us. Husbands
continually breathe a sigh of relief every single day, knowing their wives love
them despite their actions.
- Wives coddle when we are sick —
Men are
wimps when it comes to being sick. Women can often go days without us even
knowing they are sick. Even when they are sick, they continue on with their
daily activities as if nothing is wrong. But when husbands get sick, it's
almost "take-me-to-the-emergency-room" feeling. While she knows we
aren't that bad off, she still takes time to baby us, even taking a sick day to
care for us. When was the last time any husband took off a day of work to help
his wife? Wives, we love your coddling!
- Wives make our favorite meals —
We have
to admire our wives for knowing the true source of our motivation: our
stomachs. It's that beckoning of grilled pork chops or ribs or baked potatoes
or steak or fresh strawberry pie or even asparagus that leads to succumbing to
our wife's wishes. Even though they work, our wives still tend to have the
kitchen mastered. Granted, many husbands have figured out the cooking thing,
but many of us have not.
- Wives anticipate things —
Wives are
Radar-like! They know something before it is going to happen or they anticipate
what you need long before you need it. We love our wives for this
characteristic. It keeps us out of trouble and creates wonderful opportunities
for us, both short-term and long-term.
- Wives know where everything is —
Have you
ever noticed whenever you ask, "Hey, Dear, do you know where (name
anything) is?" they know? They can tell you where you left your car keys
or your i-Phone or that pair of blue slacks you love so much. Usually, they
know where all things are because they put them away to be safeguarded until we
need them. It's almost uncanny how they know, but they do. And we thank them
for this incredible trait.
- Wives know the right things to say —
The world
needs to learn from our wives. They tend to say the right things at the right
time. Plus, when husbands say things they probably shouldn't, it is the wife
who normally cleans up our verbal messes or prod us to say the right thing to
assuage the situation. On those bad days at work or even when we lose our jobs,
our wives know exactly how to maneuver the conversation in the right way.
- Wives are smarter than we are —
We admit
it: our wives are much smarter than we are. Thankfully, we all "married
up," meaning we married someone brighter, more intelligent, and better than
we are. Of course, we sometimes don't admit it, but deep down we know it's
true. How many times has something transpired, and it dawned on you that your
wife was way ahead on this one or had more common sense? Wives and women are
just naturally more pragmatic and cognizant of the way it's supposed to be.
Often
husbands take their wives for granted or don't give them enough credit. But
when it comes right down to it, husbands secretly love numerous things about
their wives.
We
husbands need to unabashedly tell them thanks more often than we do. Our
macho-like attitudes need to diminish. We need to sing her praises — especially
to her. And we need to show her we love these things even more than tell her.
Many
thanks to our wives.
