The expression ‘Better half’ has always been a common saying among men who take pride in showing off their women. “Let me introduce you to my better half—my wife.” A marriage becomes whole when two people equally contribute towards maintaining and retaining their bond. A half becomes full when either of the partners steps up as the missing piece of the puzzle that’s stopping the bond from being full.

A wife is usually called the better half because she takes up the responsibility of sharing all the activities of her husband. A wife comes into the life of a man and fills his life with compassion, care and understanding.

She teaches him how love can be soft and warm-hearted and how the light will shine through in the darkest hours. And step by step, she steps up to be his better half.

A man can always be rest assured that his woman, his wife and his better half will always be beside him, walking with him every step of the way. A wife is responsible for taking care of half of the duties of her husband. A marriage is a sacred tie between a man and a woman. When there’s mutual cooperation, understanding, honesty and love, no marriage can break even in the toughest of situations. A woman is supposed to help her husband and ease his anxiety about duties, burdens, responsibilities and problems.
