A Good Wife

better richard: I agree, so much more mature.
because of your slightly and subtile rephrasing manipulation has gone... and love enters Reply

One Better Good Wife I would rephrase this sentiment ever-so slightly.

Original: "A good wife is one who makes her husband want the right things."

Enhance: "A good wife is one whose mere presence motivates her husband to DO the right things."

The original words "makes" and "want" are replaced. (October 15, 2013) Reply

quiet, evening..
now It touched me: "she makes him WANT the right things"...
as He makes me..

this is what Love does Reply

a good wife That sounds easy. When you look further, a good wife should simply want a close family, not material things. A good wife wouldn't want to make her husband be something he's not. She wouldn't push him until he had chest pains to earn more money. Still waiting for the moshiach to come Reply

If that is true, than she is in fact "her husbands head"? And as she is not strong enough to do all things by herself she has to do it indirect, by manipulating him instead of talking as equals?
In the word manipulate the word "hand" is hiding. So the female gives hands to her ideas by means of the masculine. So he can build and create, think he is the All, whereas in fact he is the all-but-One?;-)
I thought it is written in the Bible that the husband is "the head of his wife"..But now I see that it is a fascinating mutual process, that inspiration/fertilization goes both ways. From spirit/Heaven to soul, through soul and Earth back to spirit? inspiring each other by "sowing unseen seeds in "head/mind/soul"? That is why life goes well were the feminine and masculine cooperate as equals. They need each other, cannot live in a world that is pure yang, or pure yin.. It is love that binds the/us All. Or should/could;-) So please, stop manipulating: communicate, be transparent. Reply
