A husband is a big commitment. You have to train him, spend time with him, love him, feed him and water him. Many women make the decision that a husband isn’t right for them, after all it is a big responsibility and a huge part of your life will be used to care for your husband. Once you have selected which husband is right for you and your family, it is good to view the situation as permanent, that way you will put in the needed effort and time to help make your husband fit in, and be a wonderful part of your everyday life.
Deciding you want a husband is the biggest step. Some know they always want a husband. For others it is a matter of finding the “just perfect” husband. Some have never had a desire for one. I was one that always knew I wanted one.
One of the first times I saw my husband I knew he was the one for me. He was gentle natured and patient. It took him awhile to warm up to me, but eventually one day it was clear he liked me as much as I liked him.
The first few months after I brought him home were tough. It took us awhile to get used to one another. I found some things that helped comfort him in his new environment was cooking for him, and allowing him to sleep in the bed with me. (note this may change after a period of time and you may choose to allow your husband to sleep on the couch instead.)
There were many sleepless nights, with tears of frustration, over an ill-behaved husband. If you train him well, there should only be a few of these at first and gradually get less and less. I was lucky, my husband was already trained when I choose him. He always puts his clothes in the hamper and rarely has an accident. Many women complain about their husband throwing their clothes on the floor. This is a hard habit to break a husband of. There is no real trick. Some women find that simply moving the hamper makes a different place helps, others report having to use a more aggressive approach, such as punishment, and yelling. You will quickly see which kind of husband you have, and what he responds to best.
Your husband will need to be fed at least twice daily. Some prefer not to eat breakfast, you may offer it, but it is a personal choice, if he can make it all the way until lunch time then I wouldn’t suggest you worry to much about it. If you happen to be a worry wart like me, you may choose to make him a morning snack or simply offer him a piece of fruit, this is also an acceptable option. Your husband will also need to stay well hydrated. As a general rule, husbands forget to drink plenty of fluids (unless, of course, that fluid tends to be beer. although you may want to limit your husbands alcohol intake. That is a choice every wife makes for herself, depending on her tolerance of her husbands stupidity) You will need to remind your husband to make healthy eating choices and offer them. They may be deterred at first, but they will come around, and they will thank you for it later.
Some husbands have the ability to do handy man things around the house, fix your car, even build stuff for you. It is okay to request things from him, but you will want to keep it a pressure free atmosphere, as some husbands do not respond well to pressure. Your husband may also be able to preform mundane tasks for you, such as picking up chocolate bars for you, when you are PMSing. It is very important that you are very clear in your directions to him, when you send him out in public. Many husbands work hard and are willing to share their earnings with you. They may also buy you things, and take you places. Some husbands will even cuddle with you and keep you warm in the winter.
I could continue on, but this is the general jist of owning a husband. They are a huge responsibility, and sometimes they can be costly, but if you take the time to pick out the one that is perfect for you, and to train him well, I think your life will be greatly enriched.
*This was just a silly little bit that came out of my mind one day after attending a bridal shower. I don’t agree with the demeaning meanor this may have took on. I just thought it would be fun to compare having a husband to having a dog. Just a little silly something from my brain to your news feed.
