An Image of a Perfect Wife in I Want a Wife by Judy Brady

“Why I Want A Wife” comes from a short essay by Judy Brady, presents a person who would want to marry another woman for a wife. Judy Brady thinks about having a wife after she has a male friend who had a recent divorce and start to talk about how she would want her wife to be. Put in a magazine in 1990 and show of how a woman would like a female companion and how much the times have changed.

This short essay shows that Judy has for quite a while the thought of having a wife rather than having a husband. She talks to you that she would want a wife, and then ask you why she wants a wife. This shows that Judy would want i wife and she would want to give some reasons why she would want one instead of a husband. This also shows that she doesn't want to have a typical husband like everyone else rather she would want to try something different and is not afraid to tell others about if she let this published in a magazine.

Judy Brady dreams of how having a wife would be. The sentence “I would want a wife to take care of my children”. When Judy keeps on dreaming about how good it will be to have that dream come true. So if the readers that also wish to have dreams like this (who wouldn't dream like this) can understand how she must feel with this kind of dream. “I would want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook”. Any reader who wants to start a family would want to have the other person to know how to cook, but even if they can’t it would still be nice to come back from work from a long busy day and when you open the door you get greeted from your significant other with a kind voice and happy smile that can make anyone's day turn upside down. The other thing that Judy thinks that her wife should be is that “I want a wife who will care for me when I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school”. Any person man or woman should have their significant other take care of them and nurse them back to health. Something else I’m pretty sure that people would agree to what Judy says is “I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation so that someone can continue to care for me and my children when i need a rest and change of scene”. As anyone with a creative mind as someone like this writer would have a happy time being on a vacation with their beautiful wife and great kids like in the forest and the beach but I’m not too sure on that last part though.

There are some things that I would disagree with Judy is when she says “I want a wife who will not bother me with rambling complaints about a wife's duties”. This is something i would not agree with her, unlike her dreaming wife I would actually listen to mine if she got any problems she got because someone taught me to always be a true gentleman and never disrespect a woman and listen to anyone problem and carry half there burden if you have to. There is more with which I disagree with her is that when she says “And I want a wife who will type my papers for me when I have written them”. As I read this it didn't sit good me because that is something that i wouldn't do because it is unethical to me and i rather do it myself because it wouldn't feel right if someone else does something for me. Another thing that bothers me of what she wrote is that “If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have, I want the liberty to replace my resent wife with another one. Naturally, I will expect a fresh new life my wife will take the children and by solely responsible for them so that I am left free”.

In conclusion, we each have different ways of how we will treat our wives either nicely and friendly or you act like garbage. There are many ways how we should each do and the way Judy describes how she would want her wife to be is all nice at the beginning but then it turns to wanting her to do everything for her so she can be lazy and be a worthless human being, so with that I end this with I couldn't agree with Judy in the end and she needs to think more of what you have to be to be a good family.
