The Good Wife’s Guide

1. Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, 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 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 dust cloth 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 show 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 home is a place of peace, order and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.

13. Don’t greet him with complaints and problems.

14. Don’t 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. 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.

18. A good wife always knows her place

Is his wife still in prison for justifiable homicide?

Not sure but I'd get slugged if I ever showed this to my wife.

He's an elected Republican member of Congress. If you're embarrassed by this shit then stop nominating and electing these people in your party.

IF I cared about half of what these elected idiots from Both parties said, I'd never get any sleep..

and Salon doesn't report on what he said, they make up their own interpretation of what he said and meant...and use it to spread hate, like this

It’s a well-established reality of contemporary American politics: The Republican Party is struggling to find ways to better connect with female voters. The “War on Women” and all that.

Well, here’s some unsolicited advice to the GOP on how it could perhaps have more success convincing women that they, too, care about their freedom and autonomy — tell New Mexico Rep. Steve Pearce to go far, far away.

do not give Salon your support folks

It's an oddly common belief among the Christian Right:

"The catchword 'Women's Liberation' is merely a phrase invented by the Jewish intellect, and its contents are marked by the same spirit. The German woman will never need to emancipate herself in an age supportive of German life."
-- Adolf Hitler ; from speech to NS Frauenschaft (September 8, 1934)

The Republican "Outreach" continues!

It’s a well-established reality of contemporary American politics: The Republican Party is struggling to find ways to better connect with female voters. The “War on Women” and all that.

Well, here’s some unsolicited advice to the GOP on how it could perhaps have more success convincing women that they, too, care about their freedom and autonomy — tell New Mexico Rep. Steve Pearce to go far, far away.

In his initially little-noticed memoir —”Just Fly the Plane, Stupid!” — Steve Pearce argues that, like the military’s chain of command, every household should be run according to a rigid hierarchy. And, wouldn’t you know it, guess who Pearce imagines should be at the tippy-top of the family pyramid? Steve Pearce!

Not just Pearce, of course, but rather all men, in the Republican’s opinion, should be the clear and undisputed masters of their families and homes. And best of all, it’s all based on the Bible. (For more on this disturbingly widespread belief within the right-wing Christian fundamentalist community, check out this report from Mother Jones.)

“The wife is to voluntarily submit, just as the husband is to lovingly lead and sacrifice,” Pearce writes. ”The husband’s part is to show up during the times of deep stress, take the leadership role and be accountable for the outcome, blaming no one else.”

Please keep this up until November!

The key word here is...

"VOLUNTARILY."

And why does that concern you at all?

You are Gay aren't you?

We "tolerate" your brand of bullshit.

That sort of thought is MORE valid than yours is.

After all, as the reprint from 1955 indicates, it was once an accepted way of life and love in America.

Yours has ALWAYS been queer and skewed to the left. Perverse and odd.

As you are.

 

[Stephanie]

so what, his beliefs are his alone and has no bearing on any of your pathetic lives

This is slander pure and simple by the left wing site, salon and they damn sure don't think or speak for the women in this country

We can make up our OWN mind's what he meant

No, the answer to unpopular expression isn't always to march down Market Street chanting slogans and denouncing the person.

Grow up.

Study American history.

"The wife is to voluntarily submit"

Contradiction in terms. If you say that somebody IS TO do something, that is a commandment. Thus it is not really voluntary.

GOP congressman: Wives should “voluntarily submit” to their husbands"

You obviously know nothing of the full context of church views on marriage and what that quote means. Typical liberal, one quote with no context is an attack opportunity. Knowledge just is never your quest. Then of course, you're the "intelligent party." Sure you are...
