What is your idea of Perfect Husband/Wife?

Mrs_Doyle · 07-12-2006 10:20am #1

I was just chatting with my friend, who is married, about what we reckoned would be the perfect husband/wife.
He reckoned that the perfect wife is not someone who is willing to be chained to the kitchen sink, but one who is willing to be chained to the bed posts, and maybe even do some chaining herself.
He said his ideal wife wouldn't even have to know how to cook, as long as she was a demon in the bedroom.
However, is wife actually is quite homely, in reality, and even though he loves her dearly, he wishes she was just a bit more exciting.
For what its worth, with regard to a wife, I am inclined to agree with him. (Mainly because I can't cook, and can't stand house work:p )

With regard to a perfect husband. I can't stand laziness in a man, and would want my husband to either have a somewhat physically demanding job, or at least be involved in some physically demanding sports.
Basically I want a pretty physical bloke. Money, well, its important, but I definitely would not want a job obsessed guy.
I would like an ambitious husband, but one who knows when to drop the shop talk.
I want a gentleman to dine with, and a horny devil in the bedroom.
A guy who is not afraid to try new things and tell you what he wants in bed.

Anyhow, I could go on, and on, but I'd rather know what you lot think.

What is your idea of Perfect Husband/Wife?

Well I dont have any idea
But i am experiencing it

She is Caring,loving and understanding

and i feel every day the best day of my life since last 5 months

its better and better everyday

But i think the main thing is that you both should think in the same direction

the goals in ur life should be similar if there is a conflict of interest

Then its not good !!!

such as one person looking for long term relation and the other partner looking for just 6 months or a part time affair !!! its not good they dont share the same vision

One who is warm, sexy, flirty, intelligent, great craic, doesn't my discussions of various bodily functions, who laughs at my childish humour, who appreciates the finer things in life (me not being one of them), who is 110% supportive of every hair-brained idea I come up with, who 'gets' me.

In summary, the one I already have.

Whore in the bedroom, chef in the kitchen and angel on the street

stovelid · 07-12-2006 10:52am

So somebody is lazy if they don't drive a JCB or dig roads for a living?

Too many contradictions there and if you did find the right guy, he'd never have time for you as he'd be working to earn you money and then in the gym/playing sport seeing as how you don't like laziness. :rolleyes:

Why are you confused, I went on to say :

I can't stand laziness in a man, and would want my husband to either have a somewhat physically demanding job, or at least be involved in some physically demanding sports.

I would like for my husband to be physically active, be it in work, or in leisure.
What is confusing about that?

:rolleyes: I said the money was important, but not that important, and although I'd like him to be ambitious, I wouldn't want for him to be work obsessed, IMO = no contradictions.

EDIT:
P.S: I have already found him and he has plenty of time for me and he exceeds any expectations I might have of an 'ideal' husband.

miamee · 07-12-2006 11:09am

Bit difficult to narrow it down but someone who has the same sense of humour as me, can suprise me from time to time be it in somethng they say or do, adventurous enough to try new things (in the bedroom or otherwise

), just a nice, caring, funny guy.

Who thinks I am the nicest, funniest, most caring girl in the world

Edited to add: would also have to want the same things as me

greenkittie · 07-12-2006 11:11am

Has to be hardworking in his job, exciting and up for doing differnt things and want to travel. Major thing for me is they have to have the same views as me on the husband going out to work and earning the money to look after the wife who stays at home with the kids. Not a popular view nowadays but we just wouldnt be compatible if they didnt agree.

hmmm.. can't say I see the contradictions there ted. She's saying you can be working in insurance, but would like you to play football or something.

And as far as lazyness, I guess she mightn't want someone who looks at a broken door for 3 months before doing something about it.

My ideal woman would be funny, smart, independant etc. Being able to cook & clean is so not an issue and I'd think it sexist to expect that of a wife. I'd want her to be succesful in her own right, in what ever she did.

A beasht in the sack would be nice too

stovelid · 07-12-2006 11:20am

Just confused cos you equated laziness with not playing sports or having a physical job. Lots of people do neither and are not lazy.

Although I play sports, I work at a desk and my father is a gas fitter. My work doesn't make me lazier than him (although he will say different

)

MikeHoncho · 07-12-2006 11:31am

The only thing that I want in a woman is that she wants to have / raise kids with me, be they our own or adopted. I dont think I could be in marriage where there was no possibility of raising a family.

Frequent · 07-12-2006 11:37am

He would need to be extremely intelligent, diligent and truthful, a feminist and an activist, deeply compassionate and with a clever sense of humour.

Did I mention I found him already?

You bring up a good point. My original points only really addressed the more shallow aspects of a 'stepford husband', as my original intention was to keep the thread fairly light hearted.
You are right though, kids a very important to me, and I would definitely want a husband who wanted to start a family with me. Be it our own, or adopted.
My ideal husband is patient, understanding, kind and caring.
He would never put pressure on me to do anything I didn't want to do, but at the same time, would never be afraid to voice his wishes and allow me to make my own mind up.
My future hubbie will be open to new things, and willing to travel., even if its only on 2 or 3 weeks breaks.
He will always be open to communication, and in hard times (although I hope there aren't any), he wont just throw in the towel without a fight.

Sad Professor · 07-12-2006 1:02pm

Independence would probably be the most important thing to me. She'd also have to be genuine, intelligent, funny, open minded and free spirited. I'm not married and not sure if I ever want to be but that would be my ideal partner.

So the marriage wouldnt last too long then since he's be looking fo a nice husband too

There is no such thing as an ideal husband/wife, we can all only try our best.

Other than that someone who understands my sense of humour. Intelligent. Easy to get on with.

Archeron · 07-12-2006 1:34pm

Someone who has the same unusual sense of humour as me. Someone who can traverse between reality and fantasy with ease and finds that line rather blurry like I sometimes do.

Someone who respects all other people for what they are without ever passing judgement. Someone I can talk to with ease about pretty much anything. And of course, huge knockers and an ass you could circumnavigate with an 18th century sailboat.

Smartass! I didn't think everyone needed to know my deepest wants & desires here on boards...just that my ideal husband will have the same ones (apart from wanting a husband of his own...that'd be a bit of a drawback...maybe

)

Red Hand · 07-12-2006 5:45pm

She should be able to cut, foot and pile the turf, cock or bale the hay, fade the chickuns, shpin the wooden wheel, iron, cook and clane the young ones.:)

constitutionus · 07-12-2006 10:12pm

ninebeanrows · 07-12-2006 10:24pm

:rolleyes:

nesf · 07-12-2006 10:33pm

simu tbh.

*sprinkles the mozzerella around the place*

melekalikimaka · 07-12-2006 10:37pm

perfect wife... hummm. i guess i know when i meet her... certainly seems like a pipe dream, probably will be required to have a large dowry and since she comes from a family which give dowrys... hopefully a wardrobe of sexy corsets

Pighead · 08-12-2006 12:43am

When she goes to the shops to buy the weekly groceries and I say to myself softly:
"Pigheads waiting for you to return so I can start living again."

Thats when the perfect Wife shall be found.xxx

Car Mad · 08-12-2006 1:19am

well as someone said to me before my perfect wife would be the one that kills my current wife

il gatto · 08-12-2006 6:07am

I never got my head around women saying mens financial status is important. Being able to provide is a struggle for lots of people. There's no guarantee someone who's passed up as monitarily unviable won't start raking it in the following year.
If a man found what he thought was a perfect women, I really don't think it'd matter if she was an heiress or a down on their luck begger. Women are supposed to be the emotional, romantic ones, but I think that's a facade.
Far from having a go at the OP, I'm just making an observation on a recurrent theme in what women see as being a necessary attribute in a potential mate (i.e. getting paid loads)

admiralofthefleet · 08-12-2006 6:29am

my idea of the perfect wife is:

the face of my missus (because she is the spitting image of michelle heaton from liberty x)

the tits of keely

the body of katie downes

the ass of that argentinian internet bird (kyra?)

the sense of humour of peter kay

the legs of nadine coyle.

give me all that in one woman and ill die a happy man:)

yeah women are so shallow, all they are interested in is a fat wallet, spend your own money you tight bitch, re: a thread here on ah recently called 'which is more important' [in a man] included one question in a poll which was about the size of a mans wallet being important, shallow cows

constitutionus · 08-12-2006 8:44pm

was gonna quote that one myself. but hey look at the bright side, ya cant get a big lad with out surgery. any mook can spoof being rich if he's smart

another thing thats always botherd me is this crap about how men cant express their feeling, correct me if im wrong but arent the majority of romantic artistic and musical works in the world written by men

certainly seems so if you look at the charts. on the one side youve got snow patrols "chasing cars" a beautiful heartfelt song about a guy lamenting the power of words to adequatly convey his feelings for his bird. on the other? spice girls knockoffs the pussycat dolls going on about how they dont need a man and have money. sums up alot of modern girls with a faint whiff of desperation and material greed. says it all really

il gatto · 09-12-2006 5:03am

A unicorn is never too much to ask for. Doesn't mean you'll get it though:)
