This 1955 ‘Good House Wife’s Guide’ Explains How Wives Should Treat Their Husbands
LTDC ^ | 8/11/2018 | Angel Chang

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.

“guys who have a sex doll and are longing for a mail order bride from Thailand are showing up now”

Naaa.. the house will always smell like ginger. I think more like Russia, or eastern Europe, like where Melania came from.

EXACTLY.

A healthy, lasting culture understands the importance of roles and relationships between men and women. The communists have thoroughly poisoned our well.

Ask virtually any man if he would like to have a wife who follows this advice.

He stays out all night I am going to raise cane. There is no excuse for that kind of insult. Part of "his end of the bargain" is not to drive you mad with worry.

You do as you like.

DEAR FUTURE MISSUS
Tune: “Dear Future Husband”

Dear future missus
Here’s a few things
You’ll need to know if
You wanna be the lucky lady
Who’s my wife

Make my dinner plate
Don’t you serve it late
And don’t forget the peppers every time it’s taco day
‘Cause if you feed me well
Then I will think you’re swell
Cookin’ what I like
Cook, cookin’ like a wife

You like to give commands
But I’m no handyman
So don’t be thinkin’ I’ll be good at fixin’ backed-up pipes
I never learned to plumb
It doesn’t mean I’m dumb
Don’t be naggin’ me
Don’t, don’t be naggin’ me

You gotta know how to treat me like your mister
I’m not your little sister
Tell me I’m your shining knight

Dear future missus
Here’s a few things
You’ll need to know if
You wanna be the lucky lady
Who’s my wife

Dear future missus
If you wanna get those special kisses
Show me you’re dutiful each and every night

If I leave a mess
Baby, don’t you stress
And don’t you ever ask me if you look fat in that dress
And if I leave a sock
Oh, don’t go into shock
Just pick it up
Just, just pick it up

You gotta know how to treat me like your mister
I’m not your little sister
Tell me I’m your shining knight

Dear future missus
Here’s a few things
You’ll need to know if
You wanna be the lucky lady
Who’s my wife (hey, baby)

Dear future missus
Make room for me
Don’t give me trouble
Like when I’m smokin’ stogies out back with the guys

I’ll be sittin’ in my man-cave for the game
Open beers for me and you might get some kisses
Don’t even interrupt
We’re talkin’ Stanley Cup
Bring me a beer
Bring, bring me a beer

You gotta know how to treat me like your mister
I’m not your little sister
Tell me I’m your shining knight

Dear future missus
Here’s a few things
You’ll need to know if
You wanna be the lucky lady
Who’s my wife

Dear future missus
If you wanna get those special kisses
Show me you’re dutiful each and every night
Future missus, just say that I’m right

In the privacy of the home Asian wives can be very domineering. But they'll always act the good and subservient wife and never embarrass a husband in front of others. To do so is as much or more a loss of face for her as for him. Oh, and they can cook in the kitchen and the bedroom. So there's that. :) But an Asian wife will be Empress of the Home, not a slave to her master.

My first wife basically turned that list on it’s head, as I’m sure many women do.


Mine too. That was for 20 years. My second wife and I just celebrated our 20th anniversary and she lives by that list. We both serve each other. It is the main secret to a happy marriage. It’s all about the Gift of The Magi.

Perhaps explains why sexbots have become so popular in Japan.

That specifc article may have been, but it definitely captured the prevalent attitude about a wife's roll at the time, as shown in this authentic film of the era: "The relaxed Housewife"
