The Good Wife’s Guide.

The Good Wife’s Guide1.Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the

night before, to have a delicious meal ready and 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 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 happy 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.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.

6. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.

7.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.

8.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 relax.

9. 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.

10.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 firmness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

11.A good wife always knows her place. How Have Things Changed Today?

roles for women?Doctors, lawyers, construction,

mechanics, coaches, architects, truck drivers

What are some non-traditional roles for men?Nurses, secretaries, designers, stay

The Work Force More than ever, the world holds many

opportunities for women. Economic realities show that 80% of women

who start out married will be single by the time they reach their 60’s.

The average married woman is in the work force 28 years of her life.

The average unmarried woman works about 40 years of her life.

Only 1 in 10 young women will marry, raise a family, be supported by her husband, and live to maturity with that husband.
