What does it take to make a wifey...


Hello friends and fans, today we will take a look at what I called "What does it takes to make a wify" lately I have been brainstroming and a vision came shining for my future wife, that right my friends and fan's that what has been in my head. So I thought about allot of things.I hope the title of this Blog do not offend you or take you on a trip. I hope you can understand and comments about what you believe about "What does it take to make a wify," 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?
There is a great (funny without meaning to be) old-fashioned article that I hope everyone will take with a grain of salt and an ounce of common sense however it boils down to basic human needs, respect for self and other, empathy, courtesy and consideration (skills many individuals these days seem to lack). for the old-school brothers and sisters who know the of 1950’s Domestic would say "Goddess idea is funny," however if you read the tips and try to understand the goodwill intention behind the wifely duties, and of the husband’s role as a strong, focused, well-nourished and well rested provider,you can see the basic outline—as long as both partners are equally appreciated and revered actually can work. (this i have known from first hand experiences)


I was looking at allot article of the 1950's and how wife were shown on Tv and how Wife should act and behave out side the house. This is a Scan of the original article published in Housekeeping Monthly
The Good Wife’s Guide was an article published in the May 13, 1955 issue of Housekeeping Monthly, which gave information on how a “good wife” should act. By today’s standards, the article would be considered very sexist and demeaning to women, but at the time it was generally accepted that this is how a wife should act.



The following is the text from the article:
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 hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.  
MODERN TRANSLATION—OR HAVE A RESERVATION MADE AT HIS FAVORITE SPOT OR TAKE OUT READY FOR DELIVERY.


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. 
CONCEPT—KEEP YOURSELF TOGETHER FOR YOUR MATE 

Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.  
BASIC IDEA—HUMOR AND LEVITY ARE GOOD THINGS FOR ANYONE AT THE END OF A LONG DAY 

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. 
MEANING IF YOU HAVE THE TIME THINK OF HIM THE WAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO TREAT COMPANY—MAKE THE HOME PRETTY 

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. 
COLD HARD FACTS: MAKE YOUR SPACE AS COMFORTABLE AND INVITING AS YOU CAN
 
Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children’s hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair and, if necessary, 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.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO BEHAVE RESPECTFULLY AND RESPONSIBILY AT ALL TIMES.

Be happy to see him. 
YOUR CALL LADIES—I SUPPOSE THIS ONE DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ARE MARRIED TO

Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.
IF YOUR FEELINGS ARE SINCERE, HE’LL KNOW 

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 INTERPRET: 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 

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.
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] 

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.
HAVEYOU EVER DREADED COMING HOME?
Don’t greet him with complaints or problems.
TRANSLATION: LEARN TO LET THINGS GO
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 through that day. GET THIS: DO YOU REALLY WANT SOME GUY TELLING YOU WHERE YOU CAN GO, WHEN, HOW LONG, AND WHO WITH? TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT AND AS IF THEY ARE YOUR FRIEND. YOU CAN ASK FOR THE RETURN COURTESY OF WHEN TO EXPECT A CALL OR TO EXPECT HIM IN SO YOU DON’T WORRY—BUT ENCOURAGE HIM TO DO WHAT HE WANTS AND WHEN HE WANTS WHENEVER YOU CAN. 

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. 
LIGHT A CANDLE OR TWO AND PLAY SOME CHILL HOUSE MUSIC INSTEAD OF BLASTING THE TV ALL THE TIME 

Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
THINK ABOUT PLEASING ANOTHER INSTEAD OF YOURSELF IF HE IS THE ONE GETTING HOME LATER THAN YOU 

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 fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.
OKAY—SO THIS IS BS A LITTLE BUT 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, a few more kind actions towards our partners, and a few more frilly aprons.
Best to all and may your day's be blessed.

It must gratify a man to evolve so perfectly concomitantly with his years, to write patriarchally when he is old, to be so complete an entelechy .

The vast realm of natural entelechy is virtually unknowable, but we already have on the books more information than any poet can use.

Entelechy is built from the Greek roots telos "goal" andech "to have."
