Recently, I’ve been on a writing spree of posts celebrating my wife. To me it just seems natural for a man to celebrate how much he loves his wife, how attracted he is to her, and how much better she has made his life. But, apparently not, based on feedback I received from some readers of my posts.
One particular post I wrote was based on a (scientific) survey that having an attractive wife makes a man’s life better. My post, written for another site, was titled, “A Hot Wife, A Better Life? New Survey Says YES!” In my post, I went on to cite the survey, and share reasons why men might feel marrying somebody attractive makes life better.
In summary, the post was a collection of some of my recent favorite photos of my wife. It was my way of praising my wife (publicly), and sharing just how daggone fine I think she is. My praise of her focused on the physical, but it included the fact that I think she is a beautiful person (inside) as well.
I thought it would be received well, until I read the Facebook feed of a friend who shared my post. The friends of this friend bashed my post, and me, while my friend defended the post. After I read the comments and shared some kind words with them (smile), I got to thinking. If this post was written by a woman about how fine she thought her man was, would there have been any complaints? There may have even been praise, cosigning, and high-fiving in the Facebook feed!
I’m not sure, but what I am sure of is that there can be more public examples of how men love their wives, and think they are the greatest things that have happened to them. I can dig that, and I’m not afraid to be part of the group of men leading this push. So, in my “wife praising writing spree,” I decided to share some wife praise here on BMWK. Below are 5 reasons finding a wife is a good thing.
BMWK – Husbands, how has finding your wife been a good thing? Ladies, how are you his good thing?

I like this post. I wish there was as much vocalization as it appears you got from the one your friend shared. Thanks Mr Bledsoe for shouting out your beautiful marriage, your beautiful wife, and letting others know that, “He that finds a wife finds a good thing, AND [AND AND] finds favor with the Lord”. Don’t leave the best part out. This is not the case for girlfriends, fwbs, baby mamas, side pieces, jump offs, etc. It’s a benefit reserved for those willing to COMMIT, to something bigger and better than themselves (and videogame all-niters). So, men, if you feel like you need a blessing from God, do what it takes to go find you a good woman who is willing to be your WIFE, and marry her, and stop dilly-dallying with the rest!!! If you already have one, re-commit to her, and commit to shouting out what’s good about your marriage and your wife. It’ll only multiply your blessings.
Men with unattractive wives and unattractive women are probably the ones who had a problem with your article, that’s the only reason they gave such a negative response. I once dated a man for almost four years and he was gorgeous inside and out. Great guy, 6’4, olive completion, nice teeth, perfect bone structure, jet black hair – woooh, that man was something to behold. When he walked in a room, it’s like the room stop and just watched him. With him being such a humble human being, he never paid it much mind, that’s just how he was. He would have made a wonderful husband but due to our long distant relationship caused by work, we split up. I was so proud to have this great man by my side and he felt equally the same about me in the looks and personality department. If the chance every comes around again to marry this man, I most definitely will. So therefore, there’s nothing wrong with letting the world know you have a beautiful wife, haters are just mad they ended up with those busted women who let their bodies go, don’t take car of their hair, and most of them wont even take these women out in public, trust me I have had men I work with who are embarrassed to bring their wives to company functions because of the way they look. Keep up the good work!
