Wife Material: 5 roles you need to play

These are the 5 roles every wife plays to keep a happy man at home.

1. Fun Buddy - Therapists say this is a big complaint among men.  Women stop participating in leisure activities with their spouse.  It's no big deal to you but you used to watch football with him (though you hated it) and now you won't.  Sometimes you even complain that he watches it too much.  They recommend you & your spouse be honest about what interests you as individuals and try to create a list of activities that you both can share and enjoy. Activities that don't make the list can still be around for either of you to enjoy but they shouldn't consume great amounts of time. That way you or your spouse won't find yourselves having too much fun with another "buddy".

2. A domestic diva - I know you're a modern, working woman but your man still needs you to be domestic. Learn how to cook please. Then don't neglect the housekeeping and laundry duties. Regardless of how filthy he was as a bachelor, everyone enjoys a clean house. Home should be where you both feel safe and relaxed. If you're too busy or too tired, rather than fight with him maybe you can hire a maid to come in once a month (or more).

3. Cheerleader - This is the easiest role to play!  And he will never tell you but he needs you to be his cheerleader.  Show him you adore him and you have nothing but respect and admiration.  A few kind words go a long way.

4.  Top Model - I know he loves you for who you are, he loves your heart, blah blah blah.  It sounds good and politically correct but the truth is he sees your face when he wakes up and your ass when you walk away. He may never say anything to you but he notices those pounds you've gained, and those beauty appointments you've missed.  Nobody is saying you can't change or he won't love you if you do.  Just keep him looking at you with love and lust. And when all else fails, confidence and heels work miracles.

5.  Porn Star - A wife of 30 years whose husband adores her gave me great advice. "You are not your husband's mother, advisor, financial planner, or therapist. But you are his freak."  In 30 years we'll have a lot of memories and I want most of ours to come from the bedroom.
