In biblical context, when speaking of human existence, the bible relates to all people as "man." So in that context, God said it is not good for man to be alone, I think it means that the human spirit longs to have a partner both man and woman, it is God's intended purpose for each person to have a mate, God created us this way. So when He says it is not "GOOD" he means just that... IE it is bad for "Man" to be alone.

As far as real life experiences, there are too many to list here. My wife and I both work full time, demanding jobs. If she gets home before I, she will start dinner, I am usually there by 5:45 p.m. which is just about the time normally she is finishing up dinner so I get home and help her dish it out to the 4 children. I am off on the weekends whereas she works quite a bit on the weekend so I usually take that time and do some deep cleaning, again I have 4 kids, they can do alot. They can assist with their own laundry, dishes, sweeping the floor, mowing the yard. Generally, those are my and the kids jobs on the weekend. My wife does her and my laundry, cook and on her days off, she takes care of the kids. So it is a pretty fair trade off for the both of us.
And we could take this all a step further, what should your wife be expected to do, if you both are tired. I would have to add that also, if we are both too tired, we order pizza or go out to eat. But that doesn't happen very often, we both generally know that no matter how tired we are our responsibilites to our children must be met regardless.

-- You could wax it while he sleeps.  ..(LOL) Seriously, the bible says that Love is patient, kind and long suffering (or "not easily angered". It is the LONG SUFFERING that most people kinda overlook in marriage. If you have to remind him every day then??? 
I Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Regarding "It is not good for a man to be alone"...God, who is a relational being, created man to be relational and intimate with another of equal value (companionship). Animals didn't cut it. Women did.

Offer to shave it off while with him in the shower (Wait til after you're married, though).
quote:

Expect him to be tired. Give him a few minutes to wind down before talking to him about all your problems of the day. Expect him to want to be intimate with you even when you are tired.
Read For Women Only and have your hubby 2b For Men Only by the Fedhahns. This will give you some good information about understanding each other.

present some real life examples we can talk about regarding women and helping their men.
Literally this can mean helping him. Sometimes you just need an extra hand when you're doing something. Often it means companionship. What are you're future husband's hobbies? Perhaps they should become your hobbies too. Does he like football? Then perhaps you should too...even if you have to force yourself to. Become interested in the things that interest him.

Ask him what his expectations are. Maybe he doesn't care if he missed a spot and will become annoyed. On the other hand, perhaps he appreciates the advice and values the fact that you tell him about it. The only way to know is to ask.

Honestly, most guys will say that they want to be fed. Yes, it's not fair if you are just as tired as he is. But if you're in a traditional relationship in which the wife does all or most of the cooking, that's the way it is. He's tired. He's hungry. He wants fed.
This may not be the case for all couples, but this is a typical situation.

Meet me in the driveway with a kiss is what she does best.
Other things-
1. learn to love football - actually that would make up for about 7 others
2. have some praise and worship music on in the evening instead of the tv
3. meet me at the door wearing a bikini or less and hand me the oil
4.screen the mail and phone messages so I only have to deal with the important stuff
5.have the ac cranked up a notch and an ice cold root beer nearby if it's hot outside
6. feed me dessert before dinner

Hi Trishy, well what you could do is offer to shave for him, your treat!

Not too much, just relax, or order out for dinner instead.

Sometimes, what men want changes as they get older. Some of the timeless things Mrs. Reverend Bob does for me are:
Meets me at the door with a kiss when I come home.
Makes sure there is always ice cold soda pop in the refrigerator.
The cooking thing? well, over the years we have come to agree some nights we trade the cooking detail, especiallly with the invention of the crock pot
Utmost important thing: Mrs. reverend Bob LISTENS. Even when Reverend Bob is too tired, frustrated or drained to talk.

watching my married friends, I see some things that are very very obvious in the "not helping" department.
if a wife lets her husband finish a sentence/finish a thought.... I think this is a good thing.
I see wives cutting their husbands off (in group settings) all the time ..... and that look on the guys face - that *where's the duct tape* look.
I have broken up with perfectly good 'potentials' simply because at a certain point in the relationship it appeared that it wasn't important to her that I finish a sentence.
if I miss a spot shaving, and the woman points it out to me, I would be thankful..... and if she says it in such a way that is condescending, I will still be thankful.

Something that has happened to me that I would like my future wife not to do is not to infer meanings from the things I say which were never intended. Most guys are pretty straight forward and don't hide what they want to say.
heh heh heh
Its all in the tone, son
trust me. It is alllll in the toe.
Also, If the wife ever asks if something makes them look fat, or makes something look too big or too small, that is not the time to even think about being straightforward.
Learn to smile and say "You look wonderful dear." This has been a secret to a long life.

Hello Above_All
It's strange but pictures can say what a thousand words can't. I assume that the pencil drawings that accompany your post are of you? or at least of some woman. Look at it closely and you will see the woman is in the forefront of the picture. She is the dominant one and the man is in the background, sort of like an after thought. It looks like the woman has it all planned and under control and he just joins in. Is it good that a woman finds a husband or good if a man finds a wife. Which way does scripture have it?
So, that leads me to answering your question. I want a woman to love me in the Lord. I want her to see Jesus in me and be submissive to me because of my relationship with the Lord.
Now, I do believe in husband and wife pastorates. But they should be working in God's kingdom side by side: neither one being more dominant than the other. One should not lead to the point that the other simply follows along. I've seen it both ways and it doesn't look good.
I hope this answers your question.

I wouldn't say the best but here are some things:
1. Mean what you say. Basically be a woman of you word.
2. Don't ask questions simply to test your man or to try and trap him. It's annoying and obnoxious.
3. Don't pick at his short comings. You didn't do this or that right.
4. Don't try to start a fight over nonsense or even if I did do something wrong try to point it out without talking down or ridicule.
5. Explain how you are feeling or what you wants and needs are. Be up front even if it hurts
6. Don't use the silly and annoying line of, "If you loved me you would know what I want/need." It implies that I don't love you.
I agree with Pauley464. If you ask me if I think your friend _______ is pretty and she in fact is, I'm going to say yes. However don't assume I think she is prettier than you or jump to conclusions that I want to be with her. Thinking someone is pretty doesn't mean you want her.

I agree with the above post about respect...
Respect is the guy's love language...your man will do wonders for you if you show him that he is the leader and you respect him in that role, if he treats you like **** after the indicated repect, well, then you need take him to a pastor for learning your love language, love and chores (assuming)...
this is all recorded in Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs.
the rewarded cycle is doing wonders in my marriage.
