Wives React To Dingdong's 'I Don’t Mind Being This Judge’s Water Boy' Post

Dingdong Dantes' all-out support for wife Marian Rivera while she fulfilled her duty as a Miss Universe 2021 judge had  fellow moms swooning! 

"I don’t mind being this judge’s water boy."

In a Facebook post two days before the coronation night, Dingdong wrote, "I don’t mind being this judge’s water boy," proving that the actor and supportive husband was willing to stay low-key and work behind the scenes to let his wife shine.

The comments section was peppered with positive reactions to this inspiring show of support, which made moms recall and share how their respective husbands have shown selflessness to them as well.

Ways men can help make their wives feel like beauty queens

Taking inspiration from Dingdong, we list down five ways husbands can make their wives feel like Miss Universe winners depending on the wife's love language or how she wants to be loved.

In his bestselling book The Five Love Languages, Dr. Gary Chapman reveals that you can communicate love in five languages: words of affirmation, physical touch, gifts, acts of service, and quality time.

1. Through words: Tell her how beautiful she is

Pregnancy and breastfeeding take a big toll on a woman’s body, so husbands should not downplay the power of appreciation through words. "Did you dye your hair? It looks great!", "Is that a new dress? It looks good on you." Or even a random, "I love you", and "You look beautiful" can go a long way.

2. Through touch: Set the mood for romance

Here's a tip: Sex is a whole day affair. Flirting should happen even before bedtime to set the mood and build up to an unforgettable climax.

A study from the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology reveals that the more partners make their significant other feel special and make their relationship feel unique, the more likely they'd want to get them naked under the sheets. The effect was significant for both men and women, though it has slightly a stronger effect on the ladies.

3. Through gifts: Find an excuse to get her something special

You don't really need to wait for Christmas or birthdays to get your wife a gift. The next time you do groceries, pick something up that shows you thought about her today. In a survey, most moms want things that can help de-stress like essential oils, organizers, makeup, pets, sleep, and online shopping vouchers.

4. Through service: Continue to volunteer doing the groceries

We know moms can point out a lot of areas for improvement when dads do grocery for the family, but the truth is, it helps A LOT in making every day chores lighter. Besides, no one becomes an expert on the first try. Even Isko Moreno had to learn from his wife.

5. Through time: Ask her how her day went

Spending time with your wife means more than just lying beside her in bed after a busy day. Be physically and emotionally present by asking how she is feeling and what she is thinking. 

Listen and do not jump into offering unsolicited advice! Just listen and let her feel, not just know, that she is not alone.
