Be a good wife

Think about it: what simple things in life could you do to make someone else's life better -- and what would you appreciate the most if it were done for you?
  1. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile. Don't greet him with complaints or problems.
  2. Showing respect for his family and friends. You should avoid putting him in a position where he had to choose between his mother and his wife.
  3. Be good with his parents and relatives in his absence.
  4. Make the home pretty.
  5. 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. Don't badger him with inane banalities -- whatever hot topic of discussion you have, unless it is ill or on fire, can probably wait for you to talk about it until he has time to catch his breath.
  6. Pleasing him if he is angry -- If he was angry because of external reasons then keep silent until his anger goes.
  7. Make the evening his. Never complain instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. Treat him like you would expect to be treated and recognize the value of time alone or with other friends. (assuming he is loyal and not a schmuck -- if he can't be trusted to do this, get rid of him)
  8. Physical beautification -- Take good care of your body and fitness, beautify and perfume yourself.
  9. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
  10. Don't question his judgment or integrity. The point is he should be trustworthy and you should treat him as such and in return his job is to take care of you.

A good wife always knows her place. Yep -- in the house and in the senate, too!


Hope this inspired a few smiles, and a few more kind actions towards our partners.
