How To Be A Good Wife |
Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a
delicious
meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know
that
you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs.
Most men
are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal
(especially
his favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.
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 one of your duties is to provide it.
Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the
house before your husband arrives.
Gather up schoolbook, toys, paper etc and then run a dust cloth over
the
tables.
Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire
for
him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest
and
order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his
comfort
will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.
Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands
and
face (if they are small), comb their hair and, if necessary, change
their
clothes. They are little treasurers and he would like to see them
playing in
their part. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate
all
noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Thy to encourage the children to
be
quiet.
Be happy to see him.
Greet him with a warm 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.
Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out
to
dinner or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to
understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to
be at
home and relax.
Your goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and
tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.
Don't greet him with complains and problems.
Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all
night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through
that
day.
Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have
him
lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.
Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low,
soothing
and pleasant voice.
Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or
integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will
always
exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to
question him.
A good wife always knows her place.

I've started a number of arguments with "A woman should know her place."
It's almost as much fun as presenting the story of the father son who go on
a drive and having an accident.
The father dies and the boy is rushed to surgery.
The surgeon says "I can't operate, this is my son."
How do you explain this.
I told the story to a group of women after joining a campus based rape
crisis group in the late 60's and they were all stumped.

The father is the grandfather -- father of the father, who is father of
the son.
You said a father and a son -- not *whose* father and son.

Think again: it was a father and his own son that had the accident! No

I know my place in my marriage, right beside my husband. Where else would
and could it be? But then I had a great example: my parents: neither of
them ever presumed one should be the head of the other.

Heard this one (and was able to answer it) while still in primary school,
in the early sevenies. Funny to realise this riddle was known here as well
as over there with you.

Yup. Mine is right by my side, where we can support each other,
encourage each other, and keep the other one laughing through the bad
times. My wife is my partner, my love, and when I need it, my biggest
