The Guide to being a good wife. 11 rules to keeping your husband happy. Be the wife he always dreamed of.




1. Have dinner ready.
Plan a delicious dinner ahead of time so it's ready upon his arrival. This is one way to let him know that you have been thinking about him all day and that you worry about his needs. Most men come home hungry. Prepare his favorite dish.




2. Look beautiful. Rest 5 minutes prior to his arrival so you will look refreshed and gleaming. Touch up your make up, put a ribbon in your hair and look your best for him. Remember that he has had a hard day and has only been with his coworkers all day. 




3. Be sweet and interesting. His boring work day probably needs to improve. Your duty is to do whatever possible to achieve this. One of your obligations is to distract him.




4. Tidy up your house. Your house should look impeccable. Do a last minute sweet around the house right before he gets home. Pick up the school books, toys and clean the table tops with a feather duster. 




5. Make him feel like he's in paradise. During the colder months of the year you should light the chimney before he gets home. Your husband will feel like he has arrived at a paradise of rest and order, this will cheer him up. After everything, making sure he is comfortable will bring you an enormous sense of personal satisfaction.




6. Prepare the children. Brush their hair, wash their hands and change their clothes if necessary. They are his little treasures and he will like to see them gleaming.



7. Minimize the noise. At the time of his arrival, turn off the washer, dryer, and vacuum and try to keep the children quiet. Think of all the noise he has had to endure during his hard day at the office.



8. Try to look happy. Give him the gift of your smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Your happiness is his reward for his daily efforts.




9. Listen to him. You may have a dozen of important things to say to him, but when he gets home is the worst time to talk. Let him speak first, remember that his topics are more important than yours.




10. Put yourself in his shows. Don't complain if he comes home late, if he has fun without you or if he doesn't come home all night. Try to understand his world of responsibilities. Try to understand his world of pressure and responsibilities and his need to be relaxed when he's home.



11. Don't complain. Don't flood him with your insignificant problems. Whatever your problem is, it's just a mere detail in comparison to what he's had to go through.

A good wife always knows her place



Extra! Make him feel at ease. Let him settle into his chair or lay down in the bedroom. Have a drink ready for him. Fluff his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a pleasant voice.
