Some lovely advice for wives when they are out with their husband's....

When a woman goes out with her husband, the dynamics of behaving in public is infinitely different from when she goes it alone. Flying solo, she has to make sure she sends a clear resounding message to men that she has been spoken for: she has to walk without looking around; she has to act disinterested; in a word, she has to be on the defense. When she is with her husband, she can let down her guard, and devote her attention to him.

• If he makes a decision, don't question that decision. Do NOT say "Do you think that's a wise decision?" Us girls sometimes make a mistake and say "If you think that's best," or "whatever you think is best." That's a bit patronizing. Instead, DO say, "I think that's a wise choice," or simply "You're right."
• Apologize to your husband for the smallest thing. It takes no effort to say, "I'm sorry" with a smile!
• Always dress to please your man. A way in which it will show him every time he glances at you, that you are his and your every thought is to make him happy.
• Carry yourself in a dignified, chaste, and demure way.
• Always thank your husband when he pulls out chairs, holds doors, or assists you.
• At restaurants, the man always orders for the both of you. Let him decide what you should have, or if he asks you what you would like, ask him then what he thinks may be a good dish. Always accept his decision and cheerily say, "I think that's a good choice, I'll have that please." And remember to squeeze his hand and thank him for a delicious dinner as you walk out the restaurant!
• If for some unfortunate reason he gets irritated or scolds you in front of strangers, don't say "can we discuss this at home?" Accept the responsibility and meekly say "I'm sorry!" with a cringe and a smile.
• Remember to always smile around your man. It shows that you are there to please him.

While I work on updating my profile, I thought I'd share a from Marabel Morgan's The Total Woman....

"Whenever your husband asks you to do something, he expects it to be done without reminding you. The next time he delegates a job to you, write it down. Give it top priority on your list.  Many a husband is so convinced that this plan works that now, instead of asking his wife to do anything for him, he just writes it down on her master sheet". pg. 32

"Starting tonight, determine you will admire your husband...admire him as he talks to you. Concentrate on what he is saying. Let him know that you care. Put your magazine down and look at him. Even though you don't care who won what game yesterday, your attention is important to him. Let him know he's your hero. Don’t interrupt or be preoccupied." pg 58

“Adapt to his way of life wholeheartedly, even if he doesn’t come home for weeks.  When he is home, make life so attractive he won’t want to leave.  Don’t make him feel guilty and don’t complain.  Instead treat him like a king and cater to his needs.”  pg. 68

"It is only when a woman surrenders her life to her husband, revers and worships him, and is willing to serve him, that she becomes really beautiful to him.  She becomes a priceless jewel , the glory of femininity, his queen." pg. 80

"When you look smashing, you can forget yourself and concentrate on the other person. In marriage, that's the name of the game—to concentrate on the other person!"

"Determine to be a charming atmosphere adjuster tonight. Greet him at the door with your hair shining, your beautifully made-up face radiant, your outfit sharp and snappy—even though you're not going anywhere! He'll feel more alive just coming home to you, when your whole countenance and attitude say, 'Touch me, I'm yours!'"

"As your husband leaves for work, stand at the door and wave until he's out of sight. That's his last memory of you, in the open doorway. Make him want to hurry home."

"Remember that the tone for the evening is set during the first four minutes after your husband comes home tonight. His senses will be anticipating food and sex. If he wants to make love tonight, love him extravagantly and wastefully. If you pour out your love on him unconditionally, he'll want to love you in return."
