"Though promising to fetch you lady essentials isn&amp;amp;#8217;t a marriage vow your man will make (unless you&amp;amp;#8217;re having a truly alternative wedding ceremony), it&amp;amp;#8217;s one of those things a good husband is cool with doing. Here are some more acts a great groom will do throughout your married life: Pick up your medicine when you&amp;amp;#8217;re sick&amp;amp;#133;in rain, sleet, or snow and at any time of day or night Going outside in bad weather is annoying. But being sick is a bigger bummer. If you&amp;amp;#8217;re feeling crappy and the cure to what ails you is available at a drug store, a good husband will head out ASAP and buy whatever you need to feel better. Watching you suffer is tougher than braving the elements to a man who loves you. Share his French fries (and other tasty foods) He may have asked if you wanted your own order, and you may have shaken your head no. Then he starts eating them and oh, that intoxicating smell. A good husband won&amp;amp;#8217;t refuse your request to try a fry (though he might playfully suggest you get your own next time). Accompany you to events he finds boring Paul hates weddings--yet he&amp;amp;#8217;s only skipped one out of the dozen or so we&amp;amp;#8217;ve been invited to (because we couldn&amp;amp;#8217;t afford for both of us to fly out, and I was a bridesmaid). He knows it&amp;amp;#8217;s no fun to go to a party alone, so he sucks it up, puts on a suit, and (perhaps begrudgingly) joins me on the dance floor for a few songs. As long as you&amp;amp;#8217;re not planning to go out every night, your husband should do the same for you. Put up with your friends and family Unless they&amp;amp;#8217;re emotionally or physically abusive to him (he shouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t have to put up with that, and you shouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t allow it), he&amp;amp;#8217;ll tolerate the people you love--whether or not he loves them too. This means occasionally spending time with them and helping them with reasonable requests when they mean a lot to you. For instance, Paul kindly and patiently tried to talk my grandpa through fixing his TV over the phone&amp;amp;#133;for nearly half an hour. Defend you There&amp;amp;#8217;s no guarantee that everyone in his life will love you--and they don&amp;amp;#8217;t have to. But the moment they say or do something that crosses a line, a good husband should have no qualms about jumping to your defense. Play along with a lie Even if your guy thinks honesty is the best policy, a good husband will stick to your story when you make (not-so-truthful) excuses to friends and family (and yes, his friends and family too). But as a good wife, don&amp;amp;#8217;t take advantage of that often, OK? What else should a good husband be willing to do for this wife? Any of the above not necessarily something you expect your husband to do for you? Has your guy ever bought you tampons? (Paul got me pads once!)
