7 Signs When To Wife Him Up

We all know the saying, "wife her up." You know when your girlfriend does something so wonderful you'd never consider living without it? You say, "Imma wife you up girl." Maybe not those exact words, but you get my point.

However, when your boyfriend does something you can't live without you can use the same expression. Yes, I've officially made "wifey" androgynous.

In my share of relationships, I've never been the one to make the perfect sandwich, nor was I ever good at having beer and dinner on the table when he got home from work. So I think that when I find my guy who's a 'wifey' I'm going to immediately "wife HIM up."

There are little things that make him 'wifey' material, and it's okay if your guy doesn't show these traits... After a while, it'll just come naturally to them. Much like many people thinking that the woman's role is to get married and have children will come naturally to her. Essentially making them 'wifey' even if they never wanted to go in that life direction.

Here are five of my favorite 'wifey' traits shown by my significant other, the main ones that let me know when to "wife him up."

1. Daily "good morning" texts AND snaps.

He's letting you know he woke up and thought about you first. In all forms of communication? "Wife HIM up"

2. Set routine whenever I say, "I'm cold."

Ok, this one isn't a personal experience of mine... BUT I have seen it, and I instantly thought, "wife him up." All my friend had to say was, "It's cold," and her boo thang shut the porch door, grabbed a blanket, and put it around her body. Like seriously?! How sweet, it just showed me that I need someone who will keep me warm and happy.

3. Brings home the dinner... Even if it's 2 am.

So like I said before, I've never been good at making sure dinner was on the table. But at the same time, I work too. I like coming home at 11:30 after work and knowing that he'll be on his way with food soon because I was too tired to get dinner after work.

4. He can see if you've had a day and need a drink.

I personally don't drink. Like on surveys when they ask, "how many times do you consume alcohol a month?" I almost want to put zero because that's more accurate than the other choices. But sometimes you need a blue moon with two orange slices because you "can't even" today.

5. He likes to vacuum.

I hate hate hate vacuuming, so when my guy pulls out the vacuum my wifey meter goes off the charts.... that and he does the dishes.

6. He gets up at for every noise.

If I'm sleeping and a noise wakes me up, I'll be up for the rest of the night. Get you a man that gets up for any noise, even if it's just Aya eating.

7. Endless "I love you's"

When you're with the person you can see yourself with forever, you can never hear "I love you" toooo much.


Thank you to all the people who have helped me see what I deserve for my 'wifey.'

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
