The Good wife's guide
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives.
5. Gather up school books, toys, paper etc and then run a dustcloth over the tables.
6. 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.
7. 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. Minimise all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try and encourage the children to be quiet.
8. Be happy to see him.
9. Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Don't greet him with complaints and problems.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
17. 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.
18. A good wife always knows her place.

2005 version: Make sure you have reservations for an expensive Yorkdale restaurant and plan days in advance to get a good table. Of course he will pay even though you are fully capable yourself, being such a successful career woman.
2005: Prepare yourself. Take 4 hours to rest and pamper yourself at the most expensive salon in the city. Perhaps a new addition to the wardrobe is in order. Show him that working with work weary people is paying off.
2005: Be a little gay and have a threesome with another woman. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.Or perhaps you just want to have a secret female lover. It's your right to do so.
2005: Clear away the clutter by calling Molly Maid at his expense of course. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives to make sure your younger lover has vacated.
2005: Don't worry about it since you always eat dinner out anyways.
2005: Turn up the furnace, you are cold after all.
2005: Call a nanny
2005: He should be happy to see you... and he should be lucky you don't walk out on him with most of his stuff
2005: Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. But only after he has spent at least $500 on you during the evening
2005: nag him until he submits. if he doesn't submit, leave him. You are better than that.
2005: If he doesnt come home on time, call his cell phone every 5 minutes until he has no choice but to come home and face your wrath.
2005: Your goal: try and get your man to buy you a day at the spa so you can renew yourself in body and spirit.
2005: Don't greet him, indifference keeps him wondering.
2005: If he doesnt come home. change the locks. The law is on your side even if the house is in his name. Give him a cell phone so you can keep tabs on him.
2005: Tell him to mow the lawn
2005: Go out and buy 10 pairs of shoes. When you give him the bill, speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
2005: Remember you are always right because males are dumb
2005: A good wife always knows her husbands financial status.

hehehehehe, so, at least someone does see the little discrepancies with this so called "equal rights" bull.
But seriously, treat your significant other with kindness and respect, be faithful, helpful, and above all else, expect the same in return. |

*insert historian/anthropologist mode*
This article is an interesting view into the minds of 50s America, to see what they consider a 'perfect' housewife.
I'm not saying I agree with what the article suggests, but it does say that having a stable household with a wife at home to take care of house needs, children obedient to parents, hygiene seems to be quite important.
Contrast that to today's household, well, some of today's households and you have to admit some things are lost which should not be. |

Very true... just not that the wife needs to be the one such things.
I should just as likley be the man who should do such things as the woman, to create such an "ideal" househould situation, IMO
