My wife told me yesterday that I'm the perfect husband.
I really don't know why, I try - but no one is always perfect. Then she showed me this list of requirements to qualify. Hopefully this will help other men try to be perfect husbands too - now that you know what the qualifications are.
Most married people initially try to build a smooth, close, safe relationship, preferably one without friction. In this process, sometimes the roles for husband and wife become very rigidly defined; there is no freedom, no room for growth or change. Sometimes people think they need to pretend to be or feel some way to appeal to their spouse; there is little honesty and intimacy if you think your spouse may not accept you as you really are, i.e. for better or for worse.
