Whether we like it or not, in our twenty-first century 70% of men traditionally believe that a good wife should be a good housewife. What is behind this statement? Is this really a patriarchal-humiliating “your place at the stove, woman” or something else? In fact, the myth that men marry only for someone to cook and wash their socks is too bloated. And women, by the way, inflate it, by the way, thus justifying their own contempt for men, with whom it is in no way possible to establish relationships. In reality, both of the above procedures are quite within the power of household appliances, and most men do just fine without female help. They expect from a woman the ability to create in the house that unique atmosphere of warmth and coziness that distinguishes a family nest from a bachelor den. Turn the living space into a "home where you want to return." And the thing, as you know, is not at all cleaning: most men calmly endure light mess (but not age-old dirt, dust and grease frozen on the stove) and are generally much easier to relate to household “imperfections” than women themselves. As for cooking, a rare man will say (while remaining sincere) that he does not care whether the woman knows how to cook or that he agrees to eat tasteless food. We need food every day, and we all love to eat deliciously - do women themselves agree to eat only pasta and dumplings? So the question is only in the division of duties - and it is completely solved, if it is discussed without charges and insults: many men agree to cook in turn with their wife or help in the cooking process. Even ours, Slavic, not to mention foreign. Abroad, household chores are traditionally divided equally, and this will not surprise anyone. And yet, the food prepared by the hands of the woman he loves is unanimously called the most delicious. This is partly why foreigners come to look for a wife in Ukraine: most of our women know how to cook and love. And even if a man who fears gender accusations is cunning that it doesn’t matter for him whether his wife will be a good housewife (if only the person was good), he still wants his wife to cook deliciously. Note: wants, but not requires. Most men also believe that a good wife should be, above all, a friend and ally. One that can be consulted on any issue and which, if necessary, can be sought for help and support. Those with whom it is pleasant to travel and interesting to talk with, with whom you can have fun and whom you can rely on in difficult times. A good wife, according to men, is one that inspires. Not sawing, not criticizing, not crushing, not blackmailing, and not manipulating. She doesn’t need all this, because her approval, admiration and gratitude help the man to feel the wings behind him and the belief that he is able to turn mountains. It is for the sake of such women that men are ready to turn, reach, take off and tear stars from the sky to put them at the feet of their beloved. It's funny that when men describe what a good wife should be, beauty is not mentioned in the forefront. And speaking of beauty, men mean, first of all, grooming and the ability of a woman to understand herself and take care of herself. Of course, any man is pleased to see an attractive woman next to him, but when it comes to a spouse, those who see a trophy in the first place usually insist on beauty and showiness. In general, there are many men and opinions, respectively, too. The only thing they are all unanimous in is that it should be easy with your wife. This means that the less difficulties you create for a man, the more reason you have to believe that you are a good wife. What is your ideal wife?
