Your goal is to try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order, tranquillity, where your husband can revive himself himself in body and spirit. Prepare yourself: take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and it is one of your duties to provide it. Minimise all noise: At the time of his arrival eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer and vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him, greet him with a smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Listen to him: You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first, remember his topics of conversation are more important than yours. Some don'ts: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he is late for dinner, or even if he stays out all night; count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day. Don't ask him about his action or question his judgement or integrity; remember, he is the master of the house and will always exercise this with fairness and truthfulness - you have no right to question him. A good housewife always knows her place!

I used to have a link to that. It was an article in an old magazine. Do you have it?

Yuman, I take it your single.

My wife's PhD-thesis did not include a feminist discussion, I would put that up at home!

It's actually from a home economics text book from the fifties. My how times change

Time to wake up guys! Ladies DO NOT think that way anymore!

If I got to the house and that was going on,
I'd figure I was at the wrong house.

If I get home & the "COOK"dose that I (a) check her car for dents ,blood,or any other sign of damage. Or (b) smile & ask ok love when is your mother due to arrive

Guys I don't see what's wrong with it.

Seriously for any party, husband, child or the mother.

In fact I see the latest pack of women hitting their thirties, desperate to settle down, with their depression and suicide rates at all time highs, a 50/50 divorce rate etc etc.

And I think deep down a lot wish they could go back to the 1950's.

Unfortunately society has taught there is something wrong and shameful with being a Housewife.

I have been married going on 9 years. We just had our first kid a boy Dec. 31. A copy of this original article has been on the fidge for the last 3 years. NO JOKE! I printed it off and handed it to her and that is where she put it. She said that if half the women that are married read and did half of what it said the divorce rate would be cut in half. However the best thing about my wife is that she cannot tell the difference between one rifle and another so as long as I don't get too many out at one time she thinks I have 3!

Does she have a sister?

When the wife gives you a hard time at the front door when you come home late, chase her back into the kitchen and shorten her chain.

And the brave man would ask his wife when she opens the door with the broom in her hand at 3 in the morning, are you sweeping the floor or planning to fly somewhere.
