The Good Wife’s Guide

Click the image to enlarge.

There's some great advice in here. I mean, this thing was written in 1955, but some of this stuff still applies:

  • "Have dinner ready."
    Dudes like to eat. And the best thing is, most guys aren't very picky. Here are three choices, and they're all available for take-out: pizza, burgers, or nachos.
  • "Be a little gay."
    A lot of guys like watching lesbian porn. And rags like Maxim always run articles about how to get your lady into a threesome. This is a no-brainer.
  • "...immense personal satisfaction."
    Guys love when their lady is happy... you know... in the sack.
  • "Be happy to see him."
    Sometimes you just gotta fake it.
  • "Remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours."
    You know... like football, blogging, and beer. You may want to brush up on these subjects.
  • "Never complain if he comes home late...or even if he stays out all night."
    Um, yeah. This is total bullshit. All night my ass.
  • "...have him lie down in the bedroom."
    There they go with the sex talk again. Good advice.
  • "Have a cool or warm drink ready for him."
    Like an ice cold beer from the kegerator. Or some Jameson.
  • "You have no right to question him." and "A good wife always knows her place."
    Okay, I'm calling shenanigans. Shit. I guarantee a guy wrote this.

  1. Have dinner ready…if they mean in the microwave so he can heat it up, then yes I do that.
    I don’t think I would do a threesome to for my man unless I wanted to. And “you have no right to question him” and ” a good wife always knows there place”….why would she question him? unless he is a dirtbag asshole who is not trustworthy, then thats his own fault. And I would like to know what “her place” is? In the nice comfy bed, while asshole sleeps on the couch for saying something so stupid.
    I am a really good wife and do most of those things, not because I have to. But I love to, and my husband doesn’t ask me to or expect it, but he shows me he appreciates it ;)

  2. my parents gave jmo a book written in the 50’s about how to throw a good party. i remember it being exactly like that good wife guide. or am i confused? jmo?

  3. That’s excellent. I’m sending it to all my married/almost married friends.

  4. I like how it says, “Prepare the children” as if you would prepare a turkey for cookin’.

  5. They forgot the part about don’t forget to pop the dexedrine every morning so you’ll have the energy to do all this ;)

  6. I think as long as I’m great in the sack, I don’t have to worry about the other shit for a while.

  7. yeah see i had that whole part about ‘obeying’ taken out of my vows. I can cook like a fiend and am hot as heck but I would have been an old spinster in the 50s cause i cant keep my yap shut

  8. I love it! I have to agree with Mimi, as long as there is nookie,, the rest doesn’t really matter!

  9. your not reading it girls. Good in the sack isn’t enough, hell he gets THAT on the side. Your place is at home preparing the kids and the house. Not surfing the net. Now go get to work!!!

  10. Too funny. My sister-in-law has had this on her refrigerator for years and it has always gotten a lot of laughs. We laugh now, but these were the qualities that made a “good wife” in my mom’s day.

  11. Umm…I’ve seen this before…I think my reaction was along the lines of…when hell freezes over :)

    Of course my mom always says whoever I marry will probably be the wife of the relationship and me the alpha :) She says I’m a little too bossy hehehe.

    Seriously it’s cute.

    Thanks for stoping by my blog.

  12. This is too long. It should reasd like this:

    1.) Food. And plenty of it, thanks.
    2.) Shhh….
    3.) Okay, naked time now.
    4.) Shhh….

    And that just about sums it up, really.
