He is not the valiant warrior. But he is certainly every woman’s dream. He may use sarcasm as a shield, but he would never break his wife’s trust. He may be timid, but when the moment calls for it, he rises to the occasion.If you have been a true-blue ‘Friends’ fan, you would know that, despite all his flaws, Chandler Bing builds one of the most enviable marriages ever portrayed in pop culture. He may be imperfect, but when it counts, he shows up with his whole heart. Isn’t that what most women dream of?Here are five relationship lessons every husband should learn from Chandler Bing.

Be your wife’s best friend

Before Chandler (Bing) became Monica’s (Geller) husband, he was her friend. Their whole relationship was built on their beautiful friendship. He knew her obsession with food and cleanliness. He knew her competitive streak and insecurities. Most importantly, he knew her dreams. Some of the most beautiful marriages are built on friendship. Love usually follows. Even after they got married, Chandler never stopped being her friend.

Accept your wife for who she is

Monica isn’t really the easiest woman to be with. She has a good china set that cannot be used. A closet so chaotic it defies the laws of physics. A cleaning habit that could intimidate even a professional. But Chandler? He is a quick learner, and he doesn’t mind. He knows the china has to be hand-washed. He wouldn’t mind going the extra mile to keep the apartment upto her liking. Chandler doesn’t just adore the best of Monica; he also embraces her flaws and quirks wholeheartedly.

Making her laugh is a full-time job

Chandler Bing may have a career in ‘statistical analysis and data reconfiguration,’ but his real job is something else. Making his wife laugh! It is indeed his full-time job. Humor is undoubtedly his superpower. His incredible ability to turn awkward moments into even weirder jokes is indeed what makes life more bearable. In marriage, a good sense of humor, without hurting your partner, is crucial.

Showing courage when it matters the most

Chandler Bing is not a brave man by most definitions. He is certainly not the most confident man you may come across.

He uses sarcasm to escape tough situations. But that’s not the case when Monica needs him. He is by her side as they navigate the infertility crisis. He doesn’t run away when things get tough. Remember the time when they almost lost the chance to be parents, and Chandler delivers an emotionally charged monologue, that is all things love: “My wife's an incredible woman.

She's loving and devoted and caring. And don't tell her I said this, but the woman's always right...

I love my wife more than anything in this world. And it kills me that I can't give her a baby... I really want a kid. And when that day finally comes, I'll learn how to be a good dad. But my wife... she's already there. She's a mother... without a baby...” These lines are etched in our hearts forever.

He faces his demons for her

Chandler used to run away from commitment. But with Monica, anything for her. He fought every single battle for her. Because, for Chandler, having Monica in his life was worth fighting the biggest battles. Marriage is about growing and evolving, and fear is not an excuse. Your partner deserves someone brave. If you are not one, rise to the occasion!
