Heard the following passage shared during a wedding which provided good food for thought:
Happy the husband of the really good wife;
the number of his days will be doubled.
A perfect wife is the joy of her husband,
he will live out the years of his life in peace.
A good wife is the best of portions,
reserved for those who fear the Lord;
rich or poor, they will be glad of heart;
cheerful of face, whatever the season.
The grace of a wife will charm her husband,
her accomplishments will make him stronger.
A silent wife is a gift from the Lord,
no price can be put on a well-trained character.
A modest wife is a boon twice over,
a chaste character cannot be weighed on scales.
Like the sun rising over the mountains of the Lord
is the beauty of a good wife in a well-kept house.

I might be delusional but I do think Ed will have a long peaceful life. *grins*
Seriously though, must confess there is sometimes very little inclination to be a better or more considerate wife.

Ed reckons we should attend a wedding at least once a month to remind ourselves about the commitment we have made to one another and what we should continue to work towards.
