Starter Wife Away From Home

By Carmel Castillo-Tordesillas

Have a vision

Visualize the remarks or comments you want to hear from your spouse.  What do you want him to say if he will describe you as a wife or husband.  If you want to hear good things, you have to work for it, he will not give it for nothing.  Clarify in your mind the image you want to portray as a partner.  This time it is not enough that you are his eye-candy.  You have to have great reviews make him really feel he made the right decision.

Be friends with benefits

Befriend your spouse, besides you will spend the rest of your life with him.  Aside from being the Mrs., be the best friend.  I'm not suggesting you replace his bros, just be a friend in your own way. This is the time to do things together like jogging, grocery shopping, cooking and other daily activities. Give him his own time to do his own things, so he will not be suffocated with your too much attention. 

Good housekeeping

Ensure the cleanliness and orderliness of your home. You want your husband to come home to a relaxed environment after a hard days work.  You and your spouse will be more comfy in a comfy home.

Kitchenomics

Food is a huge part of life, learn a new recipe every time. Don't waste resources, sure you might "waste" some due to the process of learning, but avoid doing so. Show your partner that you are using your resources in a smart way. 

Bonding

It is really the time to bond together, to build a strong foundation in your married life.  No matter how long you have been together, once you marry it's like starting again.  It's really a new adventure. Get to know each other more, discover new things about each other.  It is really effortless, once you live together, you'll automatically learn new things about your spouse.
