How can I be a great wife?

Well I'm not a wife yet but will be by the end of this year. We have been together 3 years. I understand that men and women are very different in the way we think and our perspectives. So I was wondering if I could get some male perspectives on what I can do to ensure that I'm being a great wife and have him think highly of me

    Get the basics right:

    -Be honest

    -Be supportive (remember, you guys are on the same team!)

    -Have a sense of humor

    -Give eachother space (believe it or not, we ALL need some alone time, even if it's one hour a day)

    *It' not that you guys are tired of eachother, it's not a bad thing to have space, it lets your relationship BREATHE and grow stronger

    -At the very least, each month, have a date with your husband. As if you guys were just starting the relationship. It keeps the passion alive. (Romance)

    -Don't be afraid to try new things (in bed and out) [as long as you're ok with whatever you're trying out]

    And remember, there's no list that can replace the love you both have for eachoter. If you respect and love eachother, you're more than halfway there; the rest should come easy if you really want it to work... it will.

    Have fun, and congratulations!

    I'm not guy but I can give you few tips that you might find useful.

    Don't be clingy, needy and nagging. Its absolute turn off.

    Give your man space that he needs.

    Even tho you will be married couple try to keep your independence. Continue doing things that you like, and what is very important provide for yourself. Work full time at last until you get kids.

    Other than that, keep house clean, make food that he likes.

    Be honest, devoted and supportive. Show him that you love him everyday.

    Also spice up your sexual life from time to time.

    Surprise him every once in awhile.

    Good luck with your marriage.

    you don't need any men to tell you how to be a good wife...different men need different things anyway. what you need to do is be mature and ask your husband-to-be that question. don't get into the fatal habit of going outside your marriage for advice before you ask the person inside first. if you two have been together for 3 years then you already have a pretty good idea of what to do.

    The best thing a wife can do is be the best person SHE can be. Feeling that you must do everything so that your husband thinks well of you will subsume your personality into being only a 'wife' and not 'Jenny'. That can be a path to depression, resentment, and tragedy.
