The Good Wife's Guide

-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 favourite 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 makeup, 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 just before your husband arrives.
-Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper etc and then run a dustcloth 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 faces (if they are small), comb their hair and, if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try 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 complaints and problems.
-Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compaired to what he might have gone through the 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 judgement, 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.[/list]

Even though I would love to be treated llike that, I can't honestly imagine any woman willingly doing that or thinking that was the way to be.

God, a relationship like that would be the most boring fucking thing in the whole world.

I can't imagine being with a woman who feels she has to be a servant to please me (unless it was more of a slavegir...nm).

That's why everything was black and white then!

Just look at the tv shows, no color/variety at all!

I think I'd pull my hair out if my fiancee did that on a nightly basis.. now, once in a GREAT while, that could be fairly good, like you just got fired or a major promotion just went into the toilet.. but honestly.. nightly? No way.

That has to be the funniest thing I've read today.

And I say a hearty fuck you to Good Housekeeping. With how how far our society has come today I can't believe there are still women out there that do this and men that still demand it.

-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.

Whos the fuck to say that what I've got to say is at all more important than what she has to say?

I was just about to say the same thing Midnyte, but you added *flare*

Should have mentioned I saw that date but was half asleep when I wrote that this morning. No caffiene makes a incoherent woman this morning. I was talking about there are women that are still in this 50's state of mind. My step-mom is like this to my father and it sickens me. We could be holding a conversation and in the middle she drops what she is doing 30 minutes before he gets home to clean and freshen up. To me that's retarded. It's her house as much as it his, he should do some of the work to.

Coatie is gonna be like this when she traps...er... marries Xunil

Thats like another planet. I cannot believe that just 45 years ago, people were that ignorant. Amazing.

My grandmother is that way still. Whenever my wife and I go visit, she makes my wife fix my food and get me refills, it owns. She does so out of respect for my grandmother, but she makes me pay when we get home. But...for those 2 hours that we visit, I am a god.

Hmmm

Im not sure about all that, but there are many cultures in this world that live that way as part of their culture even today.

In Polynesian culture, its more a way of life. I see my mom and my girl cousins, etc all working together to fix the food, etc while the guys are outside doing the heavy stuff, digging the hole in the ground, carrying the pig in to slaughter it then put in the ground to cook, etc

The guys will all sit around after and just discuss current family issues, etc. Of every family last name, Theres one chief called a Matai. He helps advise on which family does what, helps resolve disputes between family members, etc which would be respected and abided by all the family. Also whenever there is an upcoming wedding, funeral, or someone is really sick, they will all pitch in money, etc for that family.

The kids are taught to respect their elders who are the keepers of their family history and past. Old people are highly respected way more than the young people in our culture. Putting them in a nursing home is like ..really bad. The kids and grandkids all help out the parents take care of family business like take care of their family elders till they pass.

Both the men and women have their roles as part of our polynesian culture thats lasted for centuries despite a changing world.

My lady isnt samoan but even she is involved doing the culture stuff. She teaches our baby daughter the same values.

All in all, I'm happy and content. Some may agree some may not. Some may understand while others may not.

But oh well...its life.

To each his or her own.

Samo out...

It's not a joke. This philosophy was a cornerstone of the American culture well into the 70's and was even being taught in Home Ec. classes, around about the same time that preachers stopped citing *to love, honor, and obey* to women in marriage vows. I really can't put my finger on what exactly caused this rapid turnabout in our society, but I am guessing it was due at least in part to the civil rights movement (just a guess, I don't really recall this being on the syllabus in school).

My wife actually wanted to be a housewife and I was all for it in the beginning of our marriage, until I learned that she liked to spend money like I make $80/hr instead of $18/hr, needless to say I had to force feed her some womans lib and made her get a job.

This is pretty much an era long gone in American society, much like colored only water fountains. But make no mistake, it was no joke. I still wonder why this mentallity is gone from us, but yet I still see mothers and fathers buying their little girls dolls, kitchen sets, baking sets etc. These toys made sense for those past times, but why does this type of (woman, be prepared to cook, clean, bare children, and stay home and care for them) conditioning still exist today? Can't we find other toys for little girls to play with besides ones that seem to condition to be a housewife? Can we at least compromise and get a business executive barbie, astrounaut barbie, and fire-fighting barbie? You can take this last paragraph with a grain of salt, I did not bother to do a barbie google search, it's pretty late here in Nashville.

I'd prefer a Barbie that was shaped somewhat like a human being.

You mean, real women don't have 10 inch waists and double E cup breasts??? WTF!

Edit: wow, I really can't type.

Touche

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.

This should be rule #1. Nothing says like two chicks at once.

Ahhhh the good ol days.

-Be happy to see him.

I can do that, no problem!

Have had a copy of this article on our fridge at home for years now.

She still gets a kick out of it when I start reciting the steps for her.

I actually agree with most of that list, but do not agree with the whole "master of the house thing. This was from a time when only the men worked and the woman's "job" was to take care of the house. Today, most women work and the household duties need to be shared. If either the man or woman in the house did not hold a paying job, then whoever would be staying at home should be following a majority of the list to make life easier on the working stiff. If I was to lose my job for whatever reason, my wife makes more than enough to get us by and I would have no problems with taking care of the house.

btw....where the hell is the part about where they should be dressing as a schoolgirl and giving blowjobs?

Have things changed all that much? Though we are "liberated", have you opened a Cosmo magazine, ok Cosmo isnt the mirror of womanhood but a LOT of women read it.
Most of the articles are about the same thing basically. How to get a man, please a man, keep a man.
It seems to me its based on the same premise: you have to do all that stuff for your man, because if you are alone something is wrong.
You don't need a partner to be validated as a person.
If you have to work that hard at it, it probably not worth it.


Hrmm btw I know 65 ways to love his body, I know 7 things a good girlfriend avoids to keep from diving her man away, I know 10 ways to fire up his desire and make him burn for me, I know the 1 thing I have to give up to stay blissfully bonded, and I know how to make a kick ass relationship last. But take the quiz on page 60 to see if you can be devoted to me.

It all seems reasonable to me...

Be fair to Searyx, he is more like the physical embodiment of nails on a chalkboard than a blackhole of intelligence. He's only saying it sounds reasonable because from the trend of the thread he knows that it will ruffle the most feathers, so people will respond to it and he in turn can whack off to the attention he is getting. Ignore him and he'll quiet down after a while. From what I have heard of Herpes, they're easier to get rid of than Searyx, but they are much the same in that given the proper medication (little to no attention in his case) the outbursts will become less frequent and easier to tolerate.

Where's the rule about "Get in the kitchen and make meh a pie!"
