Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal - 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 favorite dish) is a part of the warm welcome needed.

Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so that 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.

Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gather up school books, toys, paper, etc. then run a dust cloth over tables. In the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel that 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.

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 (cleaner). Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.

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.

Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner or places of entertainment without you. Instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be home and relax.

Your goal. Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.

Some don’ts. Don’t greet him with problems or complaints. Don’t complain if he’s late home for dinner, or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day. Don’t ask him about his actions or question his judgment or 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. A good wife always knows her place!







Found this gem in my Logic book. Now thank the heavens you weren't a woman back then.

Thank heavens I didn't live that way like my grandma. Haha, husbands and fathers who read this article right now must be thinking, "NOOOOO! Why didn't I live during the '50s?"

wow. thank god times have changed.

I read that. My granny gave it to me.

... people.

wow it's like something right out of "Leave it to Beaver"

Alot of things have changed sense then, when my dad comes home usally there is no peace lol.

haaa my sociology teacher read that to us a couple of months ago

FUCK that

It's actually weird to see this thread pop up now, because a few days ago it was on the news about how many women are spreading the word about this book (or an updated version) and how it will save your marriage. There was one in the UK, one in Australia, and two in America that were on it, and they all have friends that live by it like it's gospel.

You should have heard the women talking about their new duties like it was freeing for them to quit their jobs and lay down for their men even when they didn't want to. One said something like "I know that I don't feel like it, but if he pursues me I always submit to him. I have to please him." It was ridiculous.
And the look on the American guy's face. UGHUGHUGHUGH.
He was so friggin happy that even during the interview she was massaging his feet and stuff.

I nearly puked.

UGH. i didnt know that. and all of it is pretty pathetic. doing that kind of stuff would make me lose all respect for myself. it is ridiculous.

But that's just the thing: The women think that acting out their husbands every desire is the only way to respect themselves and their husbands.
I feel pity for them. But I guess each to their own.

Well that's enough to send someone flying into a feminist rage. Jesus.


My fave part.

Wow, that is really stupid. It's sad that the woman thinks that she needs to do that to be loved.

i thought it said '1995' at first and i was like.. . WHAT?! but then i realized.

and yeah. dumb, i guess. idk. id hate it.





the fuck? yeah, id looove to meet the broad that wrote that.

uhh....whatever

this reminds me when i made a joke in oovoo.

fred: you guys wanna hear a joke?
kristin: sure freddy
shauna: Ok
fred: WOMENS RIGHTS! HAHA
kristen:you wanna help me crucify him?
shauna: SURE!
fred:

i was gonna say,isnt this a little old fashioned?lol.yeah thank God.the guy im gonna marry is gonna have to get off his fat ass and be a big boy and do most things on his own

Obv.

But if I choose to take it as a guide for life with you, that's acceptable isn't it?
I'll just go finish that pot roast for you, dear.

This guide is whack. Not once does it mention wake-up fellatio.

AMEN!

Hahahahahahahaha.

I'll add that to my list, Papa Leeps.

50s. It says May 13, 1955.

well, thank you. i didnt bother looking at the date

Damn straight.

lmao

if only times were still so simple...

My book says something like this:

Read this "gem" and compare how our way of thinking has changed. Something like that. My book is a secondary source to this. THis is from a magazine in the 50's like the thread "subtitle" says.
