How to Create a Comfortable Home for Your Wife
Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before to have a delicious meal ready, on time for her return. This is a way of letting her know that you have been thinking about her and are concerned about her needs. She’s probably hungry by the time she gets home and the prospect of a good meal (especially her favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.
Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when she arrives. Touch up your make-up (if you wear makeup), put a ribbon in your hair, some perfume she likes you to wear, clean fresh clothing that’s attractive to her, and be fresh-looking. She has just been with a lot of work-weary people.
Be a light, fun, and a little more interesting for her. Her day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.
Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the house just before your Wife arrives.
Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper etc. and then run a dust-cloth over the tables.
Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for her to unwind by. Your Wife will feel she has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for her comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.
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 she would like to see them playing the part. Minimize all noise. At the time of her arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet.
Be happy and delighted to see her. Strive to please her, anticipate her needs and wants, she is your superior.
Greet her with a warm smile; greet her as she has trained you, showing sincerity in your desire to please her and your joy at being near her. She’s worked hard all day and a friendly face is much appreciated!
Listen to her. You may have a dozen important things to tell her, but the moment of her arrival is not the time. Let her talk first - remember her topics of conversation are more important than yours. Be submissive to her and her guests. Show respect and deference.
Make the evening hers. Never complain if she comes home late or goes out to dinner, or out on a date, with friends or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand her world of strain and pressure, her desires as a woman or her need to be at home and relax.
Your goal: Try to make sure her home is a place of peace, order and tranquility where your Wife can renew herself in body and spirit.
Don't greet her with complaints and problems. Listen to her and don’t offer to fix problems unless she asks, support her feelings emotionally, be understanding and always leave no doubt in her mind, she leads, you humbly follow.
Make her comfortable. Have her lean back in a comfortable chair or have her lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for her.
Don't ask her questions about her actions or question her judgment or integrity. Her life is her own, you are there to support her and make her life more pleasant. Remember she is the master of the house.
