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 you 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 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 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 their part. Minimise 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.

Directions

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 Tranquillity

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 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 judgement or integrity. Remember, he is 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 read something similar to this many years ago... MANY years ago. Back in the 40's and 50's this was "the" way to be... oh for such a life again! Of course all you 20 and 30 somethings wouldn't begin to believe the above. Thank you for sharing! It's very nostalgic... I've reliving my early married years... and even though I worked... our early married life was like this. Thanks again!
