What do men really want in a wife?

G'day Chief. A friend. Someone who listens. Someone who will share in good times or bad. A stayer. A good mum. A person you love and you know, loves back. A person who works with you while you both are raising a family and relaxes with you when the raising is done and you both realise now it is your time. A person who can still love after all the years of struggle without being bitter about the hard times and mistakes you may have made on the way there.

As a man I really want respect, and a woman who really knows what it means to be a wife. She will allow me to lead, even if she doesn't agree with me(as long as I am not leading us off a cliff of course) she will go to the ends of the earth with me. And in so doing, all the love she wants from that man would be generously and willfully given.
P.S.
We have to at least think and feel like we are the head of the house, even if women run the household...humor us it is very important to our manhood. This only applies if it is rational man.

Keep their mouths shut always listen to us and a lot of sex

To fulfill a man's need for a woman. Someone who can be a lover, a friend and overall good partner in life. Someone to share the laughter and the struggles of life with... in good times and bad...and to be a good mother to their children.

We just simply want to be loved, apperciated, felt like we are needed.Have someone to brag to there female friends about what a wonderful person we are.Take all the things you want in a man and reverse them then you have what we want in a wife.Some men go on about the usual stuff because this is what there dad depended on and they were raised with such as:cook, cleaner, house maid type of deal or just someone to have intercourse with.Really if you just love us it's good enough.We like all those traditional things to and if you do them we love that but if you are the type of women who sees those things as slavery,you will not be happy with a greesy jock who wants it.You need to be compatibile before you get married make sure you have a common ground on what you want and what he wants and weigh out what you can live with and what he can.After that make a descision.

for me....respectful,loyal, open, and playful. She has to have her own mind and opinion about things and can laugh at the absudities in me ,herself,and in life in general.My best friend,a great conversationalist(talking AND listening!),perceptive,and a freak in the bedroom(and anywhere else!)! A nature lover,animal lover, compassionate to those in need, and my equal!! An adventurer, confident, WILLING, and just palin hot!?!?

other than that....any ole woman will do! ;

a cute little silly hot f*ck bunny

A friend to share good and bad times with,and build on that friendship to make it strong ; so when the love wanes (which it does) you can each still be there for each other - til the love returns. (which it will)Someone to share your dreams,fears,hopes & simple day to day living with.
A lover to be intimate with and for a moment feel as though you are one being, one heart. Someone who is there to sooth your aches and pains and for you to do the same for.A woman wise enough to understand that all we do in this life is share...someone who will enjoy and appreciate having notes left around the house - once in while.Someone who enjoys the simple things in life. Someone with various interest's and passions, some that may not include ones self...so they can keep their identity and independence solid.This person will also allow me to 'go about my business' without holding me back . yet will share similar values and will be behind me , right or wrong, as I will with them. A person who will listen to what I'm saying (not what she's going to say next.) when we disagree. As I will for her.
Someone who knows that words are painful and sometimes lasting.Also a woman who would like to do some of the same things as I and visa versa. Camping one weekend, gardening the next. (just an example)Some Gal who really understands the meaning of Hope,Faith,Charity & Bliss.
Thats what this guy wants...(Don't hold my breath eh'? lol)

Somebody they are compatible with.

My grandfather on mom's side of the family married a Greek girl while stationed there at the end of WWII. She asked him one time why he married her instead of waiting until he was back at home with American girls.
His answer to her was, "The one thing most important about a girl I would want to marry is that she must bathe every day, and you do that."
They were married 43 years until he died in 2008.

A beauty who is loyal, true blue which is the way my wife is, and has been for almost 19 years.

I don't know anymore, I'm getting the impression off of alot of divorced men that their wives were virtually allowed to do anything to them, even cheat on them, have all the money for themselves, having children but not want to be with them, not work or maintain housework and the men still respect them and still love them and would do anything for them - go figure it out?????????

for her to go home to her husband when we're done :0

A friend ofcourse or an ex girlfriend if he had a very good relationship with her. mostly women get busy at house jobs dat they forget to be a girlfriend to their husbands.

Big tits, and a cold beer!

There penis!
