The Good Wife's Guide.... (33)
I'm looking forward to all of that when I come from work. 
"A good wife always knows her place"
Succinctly put.
Loathe though I am to say it, can't disagree.

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 judgement 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.

haha, those who still hate me from last time round won't be surprised I am actually agreeing with that guide - BUT - it needs the right man to DESERVE all of that, and those men seem to have grown rather rare these days 
Tinypaws: haha, those who still hate me from last time round won't be surprised I am actually agreeing with that guide - BUT - it needs the right man to DESERVE all of that, and those men seem to have grown rather rare these days
I kind of agree with most of it, too - bar a few points. I like old-school, I like the man being the head of the house, so that I can take off these damn trousers, sick of wearing them.
But as you say, he must be a deserving man, and yes, rare as my Hen's teeth
peachmelba: I think when a female is aggressive, in behaviour and attitude it's whats called as the yin ,
=masculine,,,ylang is feminine .
Yling and ylang compliment each other perfectly when used balance.
I think what's happening is women today are demonstrating too much masculine traits,=ying,
But having said that on a positive note men are showing they are capable of nurturing same as woman,,,we see more dads at home with the kids and can be very self sufficient in the domestic scene,
It's all about balance,,,yling and ylang,

Women today ,,,I'm only generalising here ,,,but the masculine side comes out in what's like suppressed anger,.
Males too have been suppressed not to show too much emotion. ,,hence the number of males willing to open up and go see a doc if they are depressed or whatever they need to talk about on an emotional level is supressed for gear as it will be seen as a famine trait,
Ie oh men don't talk about their emotions,,,sayings like man up don't help,
Females and males need to show their yling and ylang in balance,
Men need to have a bit of ylang in them and women need to have a bit of yin in them,
Feing shui .is interesting but it's common sense tells us really.
Have balance,,,,,women don't want to be like the lady of Camelot
And men don't want to be sir Lancelot,
Ill settle for a gladiator who cooks a good dinner and can show a bit of his sensitive side but be thete for me,
Sounds perfect,

I think 2 people should complement each other and not compete. Everyone has their strength they can bring to the table and doing things and looking out for each other is what 2 people just do if things are right.
Just meeting someone who wants to bring something to the table as well and wants an "us" let alone the for "each other" part is just rare.
To be honest girls, you are all creating complexity where none exists.
A man wants his woman to be a chef in the kitchen, a ho in the bedroom, and a lady in the parlour.
It can't be that hard to do.

That's a lovely way to put it - someone who wants an "us". Couldn't have put it better myself.

LOL heno

Very true, many if not most of us find it hard these days to truly invest ourselves, I think.
