Let’s get one thing out in the open here: husbands are infatuated with their wives. you’d have to be to promise yourself to someone for the rest of your life, choose them to be your partner in raising your children, and spend every day together until death due you part.
While the love a husband has for his wife is obvious and implied, there are certain idiosyncrasies that wives have that make their husbands adore them even more.
Wives, if your habits, qualities, or sentiments are anything like the entries on this list, there’s no doubt your husband is appreciative of how amazing of a wife you are. Check out the list and see which qualities in a wife that husbands absolutely adore:
1. Respectful of boundaries
Strange that the first thing on a list of things that wives do, is something that implies her not being there. We’re not saying that wives who aren’t communicative, present, or interested in spending time are better by any means. What we’re saying is that, ideally, the perfect wife is one who respects boundaries, privacy, and personal time. Just as wives need “ladies night”, husbands need “guys night”. Just as wives need personal time to go to the salon or get their nails done, husbands need personal time to do their own thing. When wives understand this about their husband, their husbands go absolutely bonkers over their wives!
2. Be right most of the time
As much as the stereotype suggests that men make all of the decisions in the house and have the final say, husbands really love it when their wives are just as capable (or more so) of making the right choices. And this isn’t restricted to important parenting or financial decisions. This applies to everything. Even the little things like when wives just know what’s best for her husband and family. Husbands can be pretty stubborn, and when wives talk them into doing something…it’s usually for the best and husbands are always going to appreciative of wives for that.
3. Brings out the best in everyone

Not only do husbands adore it when their wives know what’s best, but they also cherish the fact that good wives bring out the best in them and their family. Husbands go crazy over a wife that’s constantly encouraging them and challenging them to be the best version of themselves that they can possibly be.
4. Has strong will power
People find it easier to admire other individuals who have strong will power. If a wife is strong-willed and stands up for what believes in then there’s no doubt her husband won’t just respect her more, but he’ll probably admire her more. Husbands love a wife who has a strong personality, and often loves it when they are tenacious and won’t take no for an answer.
5. Dress nicely
As ZZ Top says in their hit song, “Every girl’s crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man.” The same, believe it or not, goes for the feeling husband’s have for their wives. Husbands can really appreciate his wife’s beauty if she’s prone to dressing up and looking presentable. It’s hard to not love your wife when she’s looking her best, right? Husbands are expected to stay well-kept and groomed for their wives, so husbands expect the same out of their wives.
6. Kind-hearted
Husbands may not ever openly admit it, but they love when their wife is lovey-dovey! It makes them feel important, and it makes them feel like their wives are just as crazy about them. Wives who are generally kind-hearted and sweet are doing marriage the right way because husbands cherish being the apple of their wives’ eyes.
7. Amazing mum
Men love a woman who is nurturing and loving. When women flaunt their motherly abilities to love and care for her family, husbands are left with googly-eyes! Husbands absolutely adore it when they see their wives being the best mum they ever imagined. All mums are amazing in their own way, but ones who are at the top of their game for their families are the ones who have husbands who are absolutely head over heels.
8. Surprises
Whether it’s a sneak attack hug, a random sign of affection, or reservations to a nice dinner, husbands like surprises as much as their wives. Marriage may seem like a day-day out routine from time to time. That’s why a surprise from either party is highly appreciated in a marriage. Men are usually expected to surprise their wives, and believe me: husbands adore it when their wives reciprocate the sentiment.
