Got this on facebook and thought of sharing it here in my blog (CTTO)

never know how your husband will interpret them. Defensive women don't

9). Never be a wasteful wife, your husband's sweat is too precious to be wasted.

sex. You must give it to him how he wants it. Sex is very important to
Men, if you keep denying him, it is a matter of time before another

there your husband is always surrounded by women who took their time on

not have the final say in your marriage. Don't waste your time looking
up to them for a final word. You must Leave if you want to Cleave.(Luke

18). Never base your love on monetary things. Will you still submit to him even if you earn more money than him?
19). Don't forget that husbands want attention and good listeners,
never be too busy for him. Good communication is the bed rock of every
happy home. (Gal 6:9)
20). If your idea worked better than his, never compare yourself to him. Its always teamwork.(Gal 6:10)
21). Don't be too judgemental to your husband. No man wants a Nagging wife.(Eph 4:29)
22). A lazy wife is a careless wife. She doesn't even know that her body needs a bath.(Prov 24:27)(Prov 20:13)
23). Does your husband like a kind of cooked food?, try to change your cooking. No man jokes with food. (Prov 31:14)
24). Never be too demanding to your husband,enjoy every moment, resource as it comes.(Luke 11:3)
25). Make a glass of water the very first welcome to your husband and
everyone entering your home. Sweetness of attitude is true beauty. (Prov

26). Don't associate with women who have a wrong mental attitude about marriage.(Prov 22v14)

30). A prayerful wife is a better equipped wife,pray always for your husband and family(1 Thess 5:17)
These are good and you can turn them around to have your husband do the very same thing. Then you would have a very, very happy marriage. Works both ways.
