1955 Good Wife Guide. Update.

•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 be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal 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...


•Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night.

UPDATE 1/12 - 9:00pm

I have to admit, when I came across this article,
I thought to myself " this is how Grandma did it".

Although I don't agree with the subservient
message, I felt the basic thought/idea had merit.
Many women would like to have this role, (minus the
subservience, and the' ok to stay out all night'), IF
their husband could 100% support the family financially.
Perhaps we yearn for simpler times and more traditional
male/female roles, mutual respect and an intact, loving family.

I started the thread with this list as a positive message for consideration, and discussion, but then decided it would die a lonely death with few if any responses.
So I composed it differently with the intent of creating controversy.

Thank you all for your responses.

There are some beautiful posts here.
Insightful, thoughtful and revealing

Well said in this post from Eazy D :
"There's some wonderful people posting in this thread! Bless you all. Modern or traditional--love, trust, and respect go a long way We can still be loving, virtuous men and women in the modern society. We just need to listen, truly listen, to the heart's yearning of those we are entwined with (hopefully) forever. "


Thank you for the discussion on this thread.
