9.) Be happy to see him. Free him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Listen to him.

10.) 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 tranquility where you 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 judgment of 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.

Well as a wife I see nothing wrong with this. If he’s keeping up his end of the bargin, housewife and mother is a wonderful job.

“”16.) “Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. “

That’s right before the pillow is held firmly over your face and that soothing pleasant voice is just telling you not to scream. Haven’t figured out the shoe part yet but if it ever happens I’m running for the door.

Your protest does not become the standards and propriety of a good wife. Now go give your husband a deep foot massage...

I guess my wife follows about half of those suggestions and I consider myself the luckiest man on Earth. In return she expects me to be a good provider and slay dragons for her. Win Win.

Some may laugh and mock but I miss those days. It should be remembered that men had a similar code towards how to treat their wives.

I'm old enough to remember when there were clear differences between how boys and girls were treated in school. The girls went to home economics classes where they were taught to bake and how to maintain a household budget and the boys were sent to woodworking and auto mechanic classes where we learned to make things and how to change plugs in a car engine, etc. This was all in addition to the math, science, history and english classes that we all took together.

When I was in 7th grade I remember one time when the girls from a kitchen class down the hallway came in to our industrial arts class to share with us cupcakes they had made. In return, our industrial arts teacher had us boys make the girls ceramic mugs that we went over and presented to them about a week later.

That would NEVER happen today. And that's too bad.
