The photo is a copy of a document which was tucked under the place setting of every guest at my wedding 9 years ago. As well as doing my own stationery, I found the time to use this article I found, which tickled me pink. Read more I reformatted it into this souvenir.. It purported to be a reprint from a 50s magazine. After the wedding breakfast it was read out besides the speeches, accompanied by much hilarity and needless to say scandalized half the guests.

- Have Dinner Ready: shopping list
- 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. shopping list
- Prepare Yourself: shopping list
- 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. shopping list

How to make it
- 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.
