What is meant by the phrase "domestic woman"? First of all, this is, without a doubt, a housewife who does not have an official job. However, in this difficult phrase there is also a deeper meaning: a domestic woman is a woman who not only creates coziness in the house, but feels comfortable in the walls of her apartment or cottage. It is not easy to achieve complete harmony between the inner world and the atmosphere of your own home, but it is quite possible - it is enough to make maximum efforts.
Household
By tradition, it is the wives and mothers who are responsible for maintaining the hearth: cooking, cleaning the rooms, putting things in order wherever necessary. If you just got married and started managing a separate household, take note of the following tips:
- A married woman always cares about what her husband and children eat. Ideally, only home-cooked meals should be served. If you feel uncomfortable at the stove, try to implement interesting recipes for a slow cooker or hot air grill. Keep an eye on the variety of the menu: it should include vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, meat, poultry, fish, dairy products. It is good to cook soups and borsch for dinner - they unload the gastrointestinal tract and allow more heavy food to be easier to digest.
- Keep your home clean so your husband enjoys returning home from work. Things scattered everywhere, mountains of dirty dishes, unhealthy smells and old stains on furniture contribute to stress and imperceptibly, but very significantly spoil the relationship between family members.
- Every domestic woman erases a lot and often. If it seems to you that the washing volumes are too large, and ironing and unfolding laundry in the cabinets take too much time, attract children to the matter: let them help as much as possible. They can be instructed to stack their own things on the shelves or to sort clothespins.
Active life
- Every day you have to cope with many responsibilities, so make it a rule to get up in the morning as early as possible. If you are an owl by nature, set an alarm: an excessively long sleep will still not bring you a feeling of complete relaxation, and an early rise will allow you to redo many useful things in advance - for example, prepare a healthy breakfast for the whole family and check whether the child took everything with him to school.
- A collected and punctual home woman always adheres to an individual schedule. Make your own cleaning and cooking schedule, not forgetting to leave small intervals for force majeure and unplanned cases. You may want to share household chores with children - write down in writing (you can right on the calendar) who wipes the dust and on what days, wash the dishes, water the indoor flowers.
Marital life
- First, you should discuss with your husband your mutual marriage plans. How do you both see your life together? What should be a house, household? What responsibilities, in your opinion, are male, and which are originally female? Remember that any expectations should be realistic in the first place.
- If you are a domestic woman and do not go to work, perhaps after some time you will be possessed by a desire to control not only the household, but also family members. However, do not forget that your husband is no longer a child and has every right to personal choice. He chooses his hobbies, food, clothes, and more. Do you value your personal space? Let your spouse have your own.
- Listen more. A good partner listens to a loved one without interruption, showing empathy and allowing the interlocutor to express all that is boiling.
- Good intimate relationships are of paramount importance for any marriage - especially if you hope to live side by side with a chosen one until you are old. Make sex your priority. This does not mean that you need to try different poses and sex toys every day - just find that middle ground when both you and your husband will be satisfied with both the quantity and quality of sex. Ideal companions of life are women who are able to provide all the natural needs of men.
In society
- In an effort to meet the basic needs of the spouse, one should not forget about children - they need good developmental games, contests and competitions with peers. Organize a children's party right at home, inviting familiar kids, or go on a camping trip with the whole family - children of all ages love the wild.
- Do not forget about traditional holidays and invite guests. An experienced housewife knows what dishes to cook on an Easter or Christmas table, how to entertain friends and relatives, and how to decorate an apartment for a birthday or wedding anniversary. If you do not work and rarely go out, take the opportunity to communicate with people in conditions that are comfortable for you.
Your hands are not for boredom
Every married woman on maternity faces the same problem - the boredom of being in the same place for a long time. Fight this decadent feeling - find your favorite hobby for which it will not be a pity to spend precious free time. It is better if this hobby is productive - try, for example, sewing or baking.
Self improvement
- Do not spare time and energy for education. Even if you do not need a degree for work, this does not mean that you can give up and limit yourself to the knowledge and skills that you were taught at the educational institution. Just reading books is enough - the more the better. For those who want to improve in these academic disciplines, special online courses have been developed - many of them can be registered for free.
- Find a side job. Let it be copywriting, custom sewing, cosmetics distribution or electronic data processing - small, but real money will allow you to get the desired thing and enjoy the fact that you make your own contribution to the family budget.
These helpful tips together may give you a general idea of how to be a happy wife. However, remember: you, your husband and your children are individuals, and ensuring the happiness of everyone is only in your hands.
