GOOD HOUSEKEEPING'S "GOOD WIFE GUIDE"
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 be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.
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.
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. *Run a dustcloth over the tables.
*During 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 to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.
*Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum.
*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.
*Don't greet him with complaints and problems.
*Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.
*Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.
*Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
*Don't ask him questions 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.

Ladies, My Mother told us girls when we were young that we must learn to be a good cook, often said the way to a good man's heart is thru his stomach.
I later learned that his tummy had nothing to do with it. Don't fall for this. Occassionally yes, but not as a daily thing.
1 They will get fat and so will we.
2. Do take the time to make sure you look great. That is the best way to get a man's attention. Today's men hardely ever really care if their woman is an excellent cook.
PROOF: I am a good cook and do not have a man.
So there!

Tn - have to laugh - my mom, supported by my grannie and Aunties, encouraged me to get married and have babies, but I really *should* have a teaching certificate or nursing degree "just in case".....UFFDA!
