| How Was Your Day, Darling?
Posted: 9/12/2008 11:38:49 PM | So, how does a woman keep her husband happy? The short answer seems to be – make the home a haven he can escape to after a long, hard day at the office. After all, “A man’s home is his castle and as such, he ought to be treated like a king”. The minute he steps through the front door, all the focus should be on him.
this was the theme of a very popular 1950s book 18 ways to keep ur man happy sorry 19 ways
how would u do it in 2008 | |

Posted: 9/12/2008 11:57:43 PM | | The big difference in the days that those books were published and used widely was that women didn't go to work. They stayed at home, kept the house nice, baked, looked after the kids and were there to comfort their husband after a hard days work. Nowadays most of them work full time, and the ones that don't are considered gold diggers by allot of people. It's traditional values verses modern day living. | |

Posted: 9/12/2008 11:58:05 PM | Karma sutra classes.......  Make sure that when he walks through the door after a kiss he has at least 15 mins - 30mins to unwind and relax without anyone annoying him....   Once he has had time to unwind from the day he could then be refreshed enough to cook dinner and spoil me with great rewards Done the old fashioned way so thought I'd try the new 2008 way.  | |

Posted: 9/13/2008 12:00:13 AM | I'm the Alpha-Dog, and I want to be licked when I return to the den- all over...
Watch how a pack operates, and it should become obvious that I'm not at all a chauvinist. Didn't mean it to demean women, and if both work a demanding job, just look at nature and realize that when everyone is validated, everyone is happy in the den. If there are two Alpha types, it can be a challenge, but it can be met with success. That takes us back to what a mature, adult relationship should really be about.
Take from my observations what you will. The happiest times I've had have been when everyone is appreciated for their role, the small stuff isn't sweated, and nature is permitted to run it's course.
I've been involved with women who firmly believe that you can't live on love alone, and there is some truth to that. I just find things to be balanced when there is more love than there is money, and no one will ever change my mind about that.

Posted: 9/13/2008 12:06:59 AM | Here's the 10 commandments darlin'.
Keep the list on the fridge and read often until it all registers:
1. Have dinner ready: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal - on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him, and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.
2. Prepare yourself: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will 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. Be happy and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.
3. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too.
4. 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 he would like to see them playing the part.
5. Minimize the noise: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer, dryer, dishwasher, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him.
6. Some DON'TS: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day.
7. Make him comfortable: Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lie 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, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.
8. Listen to him: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.
9. Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his need to be home and relax.
10. The Goal: Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax.
Many people have found this to be a funny read over the years....

The house will be spotless, and she will be a vision in full make-up and a lovely dress that shows off her stunning figure (alas none of that freshly baked layer cake smothered in delicious frosting for her).
Once he’s nice and relaxed, it’s time to get dinner on the table. None of these frozen TV dinners or re-heated leftovers – he deserves a “hearty home-cooked meal, one that’s prepared from scratch and seasoned with love”. Never wait for him to ask for seconds; make sure his plate is always full. She, of course, will pick daintily at her own plate, listening attentively to any problems he may have.Yes, those dishes must be washed and the kitchen tidied, but a good wife can never forget her role as loving companion. Before he settles in to watch television or relax with a good book, engage him in a bit of stimulating conversation, be it world events or some interesting local gossip. Doubtless he will have at least one or two fascinating stories from the office, giving her the chance to compliment him on his excellent business skills.
Once he’s happily reclining in his easy chair again, it's time to get the little angels upstairs for a bath then straight into bed.. Surely he deserves bit of peace and quiet at the end of a long, hectic day – and who knows, it might even put him in the mood for a bit of romance!
Of course she’ll be making his favourite Danish pastries for breakfast, but when he suggests she should “slip into something more comfortable” they’ll just have to wait! Now is the time to unveil her slinkiest negligee to “be a tantalizing temptress in those few, short minutes before your husband falls asleep”. Then she can sneak downstairs and do those last-minute chores, and put on the cold cream and curlers. And finally she will set her alarm to make sure he awakes to the smell of freshly brewed coffee.
no mention of who sleeps in wet spot lol | |

Posted: 9/13/2008 1:36:11 AM | Was I supposed to make him happy?????????????????
When they said for better or worse I thought it was mulitple choice and took the worse option - lots easier..........................
I also read in one of those books that the woman should 'prepare' for sex each night but if he just wants to sleep then you put on your night cream and nod off too. | |
