Wife Material?

I've ways been very careful in using some words but then I believe in hearing other people out to be sure to get their message. I have to admit that I have used that phrase many times too but mostly in jest when a friend did something, especially a female, I tease them and say they are wife material and their wife material is more than 1,000 yards.

Over the years I looked at the phrase especially with the way the world is changing right now and you can flip it both ways. Some might find the word offensive because it means we are only saying that's what women are good for; to be married and prepare meals. If you think about it, you can understand why most people narrow it down to that point because it takes the focus off the woman being industrious, entrepreneurial and smart and it makes it look like the only thing they are good for is, as wives.

I pondered on it and I think it depends on the credibility of whoever uses this phrase to explain in detail what they mean. I would say it's not degrading but it shows the amazing qualities our women possess. They are a bundle of amazement and with what looked like unending strength and abilities and being in the kitchen is not all they are about.

I would be sharing some of the amazing traits I have known women to have or I would expect most women to display:

She Understands Her Value:

Women should understand their value and they should not be easily bought over. They must not answer to every name-calling nor should they offer discounts for their worth. Most people sell themselves short and have shown that their loyalty lies with the best bidder. It shouldn't be. They should be dignity veiled in womanhood; never available on discount and the outward adornment must never exceed the inward development because what matters lies on the inside. When a lady is all about beauty, that's all the men would see even though she possesses more.

She Is A Completer:

It doesn't mean that you are incomplete on your own or she is inadequate on her own too but it's more of how women seem to understand things deeper. They sometimes see a few steps ahead and anyone who owns their heart, they would go through any length to help that person and try to guide that person.

A friend of mine told me how she tried to help her ex-boyfriend but the guy wasn't getting it. She took it upon herself to guide him but he wouldn't budge. Women can go to extra lengths if they truly care about you and that's how they complete us.

We live in a world where most guys want a finished product but most women are not like that. Whatever you give to them, they multiply because they are enablers. They work with raw materials, understand the rudiments and bring out a finished product that would last better and longer. As a woman, everything should improve under your watch because you are capable of so much more than the limits you place on yourself.

She Is Strategic:

Women are strategic. Some can call it cunny but I call it strategic. They know how to prepare ahead, go the extra mile while also calculating every step that leads to their eventual outcome. They are incredibly smart with proven records of making the most of every situation.

Women shifts paradigm and they understand that weakness is never a virtue which is why when you look at them as a weakling, they turn around, surprise you and then replace that weakness with strength.

She Likes Success:

We live in a world where when a woman succeeds we think she slept her way through to the top. As men, we need to think better and do better. It's a shame to any man who thinks this way because it shows we are saying they cannot achieve as much as men but that's a lie.

Women are driven and they have lived their lives always willing to prove themselves over and over again. Women strive for significance and not only success. They know how to self motivate when the odds are stacked against them.

She Knows The Difference:

We have always ridiculed women that they don't always know the difference...they do... They just want to take you in another direction before showing your their card of Aces. Women have taste, elegance and poise so they can tell you the difference between seductiveness and attractiveness. You know that when a product is really good, you don't need to spend so much on marketing it. Sadly most women try to market themselves forgetting how good their product is.

She Is A Celebrity:

In every man, there is a kid and in every man, there is a king. Whichever one appeals to a woman is what she fans into flame. She is a celebrity because she seizes opportunities, build a legacy and she doesn't just live and shouldn't just live for today even though she lives today. She understands that fame doesn't mean relevance, just as age doesn't mean maturity. You might be cute but that doesn't make you funny so a woman is sometimes impressed with the simple things. She dazzles for you and wants you to sing her praise while she makes you happy. She wants you to be her number 1 fan, no one else.

Thank you for your time.

Yes boss, all the attributes you have listed are attributes meant to be seen in a woman, but sadly these days it is pretty hard to find that "wife material" cos ladies have neglected the virtues and are now interested in the riches. Probably these wife material would be one in a million, and I put it to you that it is very scarce to find one, cos they are only interested in jilting you and breaking your heart. All the same brother the definition of a wife material I believe is a partner that is more than willing to complement her other half in times of plenty and scarcity, but like I said it's just pretty rare

I totally understand you... Most women don't even know they have these traits and can develop it. They major on the minor and minor on the major. They forgot who they are while chasing other things.

There is a popular saying that behind every successful man there is a woman behind him. Women play an important role in the live of every individuals and the society in general.

I dislike when they are being looked upon as a weaker gender and being discriminated again.

Your place is in the kitchen! I would think about my surroundings and myself if I often heard such words from the men around me. Why do "men" talk like that? Apparently, to feel their power and superiority-some human beings still think they are the crown of creation. Probably men are so weak that they can only show their masculinity in this way. There's a lot to answer for. For example: Is the kitchen mine? Where do you want your lunch, the hallway or the bathroom? But we say everything in a light tone, showing with all our appearance - "I understand your joke, and here's my polite answer to you 😉". And about the employment contract for the provision of culinary services, which still have to sign, and then sent to the kitchen, and about mama's sons, who do not even know how to heat up their own food, and that if nothing clever comes to mind, it is better to be silent than to say stupid things. And it is better to stay away from such people.!!!!

That is so true... Is the kitchen yours? I hate it when men say the place of a woman is in the kitchen... Most of them mask their inferiority by trying to oppress the woman. It is sad. Men who think this way should be excused and women should stay away...far away from them.

Am not quite sure that most women, with the characteristics and traits you listed, would feel they are being complemented when they are described as "wife material." Although, I understand there are those whose aspiration in life is to marry and raise a family, with the myriad opportunities opening up to women in this age, they would rather be recognized or appreciated for what they can be capable of achieving outside of a home and family life.

I have also thought about that phrase recently and I observed that it's mostly when a lady is doing chores in the house like cooking or cleaning the house, the guys will just keep hailing her "wife material", but when it comes to bagging achievements in the corporate and entrepreneurial world. The phrase I even have problem with these days is "slay queen"

I agree there are two ways to define the wife material slang but in my world, I see it as a complete woman but people mostly use it when it comes to cooking, cleaning, and house chores.

A woman can be called wife material for giving you advice on growth so it doesn't have to be about chores only. Women are powerful than what we take them for and I love it when I see a woman using the resources she has rightfully.

A wife material is really a packaged deal. Know her ability and know her obligation in her own family but some husband very abusive especially when they are the one finding their financial needs which is wrong. The part of being a wife also is not easy. Like taking care of kids and do some household chores. Have a great day Ola!

Just like a saying, whatever you give to a woman a raw product, she's gonna produce a finished product, and will even multiply it, but not a problem, becomes she will always multiply it for you.... hehehehe, just kidding.

Woman are amazing in their doing, and will never desist untill they see what they are working for, if you wanna keep a secret, why not keep it with a real woman , and it is be saved...

Personally for me a wife material is one who would put her family first. Who choose herself a good husband for the sake of the children she will have. Who will live a decent life for the sake of her marriage and unborn kids and who can make sacrifices for her children.
