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 thining about him and are concernd about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.
Prepare Yourself.
Take 15 mintues 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.
(yeah -and I've been home eating bon bons all day!)
Be a litte 'gay' and a little more interested for him.
His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.
( I will make him a card!)
Clear away the clutter.
Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dust cloth over the tables. (does this include my card making/scrapbooking area?)
During 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 to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.
(really?)
Minimize all noise.
At the time of his arrival, eliminate all the noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.
(I'll gag the lot - dogs included)
Be happy to see him.
Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.
(What? be a dog?)
Listen to him.
You may have a dozen importan 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.
Don't greet him with Complaints and problems.
Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.
Make him comforatable.
Have him lean back in a comfartable chair or lie him 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., soothing and pleasant voice.
Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement or integrity.
Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to quesiton him.
A good wife Always knows her place
YIKES!
