7. Take care of yourself physically
8. Pull proper weight around the house with chores
9. Stay interesting and once kids come don’t just talk about logistics
10. Don’t get too serious, remember to play and nurture your friendship
11. Trust him (if he deserves it, if not leave)

Good luck!

Man here - This is a pretty good list but I had no problem with my wife putting the kids first because I never felt I was a distant 2nd. Their needs were of a higher order than mine. I would add “don’t be intellectually boring” and yes that is a two way street. If my wife’s interests and curiosity were limited to basically our family and our social circle I’d find her to be boring.

OP here. We value gender roles in my house.

So you think that being a good spouse is only about specific responsibilities, and not how you treat each other. Got it.

Come back when you’ve grown up.

+1. Go away OP. Go ask your MIL or DH if you're serious and not a troll.
