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 schoolbooks, 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. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet.
8. Be happy to see him.
9. Greet him with a warm smile and shoe 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 homeis a place of peace, order and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.
13. Dont greet him with complaints and problems.
14. Dont 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. Dont ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will alwaysexercise his will with fairness and truthfullness. You have no right to question him.
18. A good wife always knows her place.
"Mona Lisa Smile"--Wellesley students wrote the manual.
"In addition, apostrophe's appear to have been invented post-1955."
I'm sorry, but your comment just irks me. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a wife who is a stay at home mother putting to use some of these suggestions. Trust me, it makes for a much happier home for everybody.
My hubby actally brought this pamphlet home from work a few weeks ago. I promptly rolled it up, hit him over the head with it several times and made him take the dog out!
There was no such magazine as "Housekeeping Monthly" in 1955 or any other year.
There was, and still is, "Good Housekeeping" but they never published this article.

I actually do.
Which is what they are there for. To prove or disprove.
In Our case, it is two hetero relationships that have moments of crossover....I live with the wife and the the girl friend has her own place....she comes here a lot and I go there some times.....
There are times when we are a threesome, but it's often in play as well as fooling around....the girls are very special and have a close friendship....my wife shares me with my girlfriend, who also shares me with the wife.....it is just as much about friendship as it is about all the other stuff you might think of.....we probably spend more doing normal things than you'd think.....Physical love is merely a small part of the larger relationship.....BUT men be warned....like I wrote in the song: "When these girls get together it's something to fear.....The ladies and me are so much more, than people can see when we're out of doors"
I do all of that plus the yardwork, love football and beer........ guess that's why my Marine has put up with me for 21 years....;^)
The what?
1. Don't bitch the moment he enters the room. Let him open his beer first
2. Place Stouffer's entree in oven 15 minutes before he usually gets home
3. Send the kids to your mother's
4. Sit on sofa naked
Screw 1 & 2...just skip ahead to 3 & 4. But there's one more to add, if you don't mind:
5. After your love-making session, allow him to Freep first. If you have cable TV, there should be at least one or two movies to keep you occupied until he's ready to get off the computer. Which leads us to #6.
6. Sit on sofa naked (and start over).
That's my idea of a "dream weekend".
Please post your home address here on this thread, no name will be necessary. Hope your driveway can handle 34,789 cars!
Excuse me a minute ;~D
I have tears in my eyes laughing at that.........
Too young to realize that life happens, and just because it doesn't happen to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen....
*snicker* I love this place!
And if one says it's night at noon, the other swears to it....even facts are not safe when they get together....they have that "rolling fact" thing down like most women: facts are facts depending on their mood.....
An old hoax.
