Just showed this to my wife and she slapped me in the back of the head and told me to go do something that’s physically impossible.
My first wife basically turned that list on it’s head, as I’m sure many women do.
With a few alterations, much of this is simply good manners.
.....and the issue with this is?
Where’s the......
.....make me a sammich and get me a beer?
Then it would be complete!
Yes....I am wearing flame retardant clothing... :^)
1.take me back to 1955
2.make my wife look like Ann-Margret.
3.make sure that my liquor cabinet is well-stocked with bourbon.
Fake. Not one mention of a sammich.
Remember, these are the MINIMUM requirements.
Well, good advice in saner times.
Best advice comes from the Lord who created Real Marriage:
Ephesians 5:21-33
21Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”c 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Great advice. Unfortunately they all see it as a punchline today.
remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.
Don’t complain...of he stays out all night.
offer to take off his shoes
He...will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness.
You have no right to question him
I call BS. This was edited. But suburban housewives now believe the crap they get on CNN and go to yoga (which, as much as they get angry when you try to let them know, is a Hindu prayer ritual) so maybe it wasn’t edited.

Sounds more like 1855...in the Middle East.
I’m a great wife, but COME ON!!! this is just some guys fantasy.
It can be done today but with a robot.
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.
bkmk
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.
