Many times you look at them and think. Ive already read that, done that...you name it!
Im not going to tell you, persuade you or "brainwash" you into thinking like me.
All that Im asking is to take away a few minutes of your time for you to think about women in our society.
This post is in combination with 'Quotes by Women' :o)
Women sometimes think the world is against them, but other times the world thinks women are against them. In reality, NEITHER is true.
The truth is both sides struggle to communicate properly to each other. In more ways than one.
The other day I was going through my Mother's emails...as a teenage daughter usually does :o) and I stumble across something quite interesting.
The Email contained an advertisement from the 1950's entitled "The Good Wifes Guide"
(to the left)
Anyone could guess what it would be about.....but the truth is how many of you really want to know?
Ladies and Gentlemen, the truth unveilled about How to be the perfect wife. Does this sound familiar??? Today's magazine titles havent changed much, except for they're more aimed at sex...for one obvious reason, it's what people want.
Anyway, the advertisement went on to explain what a good wife entails.
It said this:
- 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 been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are nhungry when they come 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 fresh 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 most 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.
- Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper etc and then run a dustcloth over the tables.
- Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare a light 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.
- Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the childrens hands and faces, comb their hair and, if neccessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimise 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.
- 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 at the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember his topics of conversation are more important than yours.
- 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.
- 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
- Don't greet him with complaints or problems
- 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 throught that day.
- Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfotable chair or have him lie 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
- Dont ask him questions about his action or question his judgement or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always excersise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him
- A good wife always knows her place
So what do you think?
True...Not true....or needing to be said about women?
