The Good Wife Guide

Posted by ryan at 04:24 PM in humor . | 5 Comments

It seems that I have gotten married 50 years too late. Some of my favorites from this Good Wife Guide published by Housekeeping Monthly in 1955:

  • - 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.

  • - 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.

  • - A good wife always knows her place.

    Hmm, you may be right.

    "We know the graphic reproduced above (supposedly from the 13 May 1955 edition of a magazine called Housekeeping Monthly) is a fabrication: It didn't first appear until well after the "How to Be a Good Wife" list had begun circulating via e-mail, and it's clearly a mock-up produced by adding the text of the e-mail around an image taken from a 1957 cover of John Bull magazine."

    Have you ever read an old edition of The Joy of Cooking? It's not that far off from this.
