I am a successful wife. I have been happily married for more than 15 years, and am still head over heels for my DH. We have kids, dogs, a house and a comfortable lifestyle.

I am in no way what anyone would consider "wife material" if you are going by physical appearances and being a perfect cook, homemaker or hostess. I am, however, wife material in that I understand my DH and respond to his emotional needs. I put our relationship first, above everything else, including our kids (which gets me flamed on here). We are partners in life and for life, which extends so far beyond your limited "wife material" notion.

Forget about becoming something you are not in order to attract a husband. Be emotionally healthy and look for someone else who is emotional healthy. Believe me, maturity, mutual respect and communication are far more paramount to any relationship than your teeth, skin and hair could ever be. Indeed, if you meet a man who loves you for your teeth, skin and hair, you are in for a terrible shock, because your looks will not last forever. Be loved for who you are, not what you look like.[/quote]

I agree with you. I however, can cook from scratch :) Both DH and I put our relationship first. We are partners and we compensate for each others' "weakness" so we make a great team. I agree- looks will fade. You need to find someone who will love you for YOU.

My DH has a potbelly. I never thought I'd be attracted to a man who had one. We were friends and then once I began to develop feelings for him, his imperfect body didn't matter. I wouldn't be considered pretty by most male standards, but DH thinks I am and that's all that matters. I've known women who are beautiful and have countless dates, who get married and divorced fairly quickly. Why? Because they were superficial. Find someone you can connect with on a deeper level and he will think you are the perfect "wife" for him. Actually, I read this great book, called Finding The ONE by Diana Persaud. It's FREE on smashwords dot com and Barnes and Noble (I have a nook). It might be on amazon too.  I think it will give you some insight. It helped a couple of my girlfriends.[/quote]
