How women should treat their man (Good Housewife).
"* Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal on time. 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 is part of the warm welcome needed.
* Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so that you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your makeup, put something in your hair, and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work weary people. Be a little peachy and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a life.
* Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your man arrives, gather up school books, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your man will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a life too.
* (If you have any) Prepare the children: Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces, comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.
* Minimize the noise: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer, dishwasher, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him.
*Some Do's and Don'ts: Don't greet him with problems of complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he 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, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.
* Listen to him. You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.
* Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, his need to be home and relax.
*The Goal: Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your man can renew himself in body and spirit."

And what happens if the wife works too? You honestly expect me to work a full day at work and come home and pamper my husband?

I didn't know the Flood was a time travelers' destination. OP, you need to reset your settings, you're 100 years ahead of your actual time.

1 ReplyAs nice as that sounds, I would never want my wife to stress herself out so much just to make me feel comfortable. Seems really selfish to me, unless I was doing the same for her.

I am happy to say my current girlfriend agrees with that list. Provided I'm not an asshole about it, which I don't intend to be. In return I shall provide monies and diamonds. She says it's a fair trade.

this should be an entertaining read.

Honestly, I rather be single.
