I am constantly looking for ways to be a better wife to my husband. He’s my second husband, and I know I made a lot of mistakes with the first one. My current husband has also been married before and he calls his ex-wife his ‘practice spouse’. Getting a second chance to do it right is a gift. My first husband was wrong for me, but I didn’t see it at the time. I married him for security, stability, etc…which is never a reason to get married.

If you don’t marry for true love, because this is the man you would follow to the ends of the earth, then don’t get married. That’s it. It’s scary to think about being alone, or if you will EVER meet the right one, but it is very painful to make a life with someone and have it fall apart on you years from now.
All of the sacrifices you will be asked to make for your soul-mate will be easier because you are so in love you would do anything for your marriage. That’s what you need to be a good wife: the right husband for starters…
