Wife Anna

I have only been married for 4 months to a man who is never wrong. My husband is a perfectionist and very romantic so when he offered to handle the music for our wedding I was more than happy to get that off my list. I lived in North Texas and he in South Texas. He calls me one day and says I found the perfect song for the wedding then he proceeds to play "White Wedding" by Billy Idol. I was horrified and laughed thinking he was joking considering our wedding was to be in a very conservative baptist church. Still he insisted that this was the perfect song. After talking to the Pastor about it he decided not to play the song. But in the car, on our way to the honeymoon guess what just happened to be playing on the radio?



Husband Don

By occupation, Don is a professional healthcare representative and has a bevy of giveaways such as calendars, post-it notes, clocks and one item of particular interest to Don's wife. She uses this item for getting his attention. She says, "he can't sue her because it bounces off his head." But it does get his attention. Here is an image of this item:

Wife Tracy

When my husband and I were engaged, I moved into an old plantation farmhouse from an apartment. With the move came about 3 acres of lawn that would need to be mowed. I set out to buy a riding mower. My fiance, Bill, informed me that he would research the best mower for the job. After a 6 week search, he came to my house as excited as he could be...he parked the truck backwards in the driveway so i couldn't see what was in the bed...he held his hands over my eyes all the way to the truck and when we got there he took his hands of my eyes and waited eagerly for my screams of joy. Oh, screams he heard, but not of joy. Perched on the back of that truck were TWO push mowers: "his and hers" he said. "You can start at the top of the lawn and I'll start at the bottom. We'll meet in the middle!" I said, "No, you can start at the bottom of the lawn and I'll sitting on the porch drinking my tea watching you work your way to the top." Isn't this something like buying a woman a treadmill for her birthday? I did marry him and have plenty more stories since then!!



Wife Patty

My husband would pretend he was dead as in falling down the stairs or out mowing the lawn. It scared me so bad that I told him if something really happens to him, he might have cried "wolf" too many times.



Husband Chris

I thought I was buying the perfect Christmas gift for my wife. What was it? A microwave. It is an item that everyone would benefit from using and it was sooooo big. It was hard to get it in the door and of course too big to wrap. I placed it unwrapped under the tree and invited my wife to come take a look. Well, the look on her face told it all. I wasn't sure I was going to make it to the third anniversary. Happy ending because I did a quick study and realized the error of my ways. Whew! Close call. Men, always give your wife personal gift(s) on special occasions whatever you do. If you are not sure, consult a credible source that knows.



Dolly Parton

When asked how she has stay married for 40 years, she replied, "I'm always gone." She said when she first came to Nashville, she wasn't looking for a boyfriend, but found a husband. She said, "He's a good guy."



Walter E. Williams

He was asked what he gave his wife for Christmas. He replied that he gave her a vacuum cleaner, the latest in cleaning. For a personal gift, he gave her 3 tubes of lipstick. Then he mentioned that she might want to divide her jewelry into 2 piles. One pile for before they got married and the other for after they got married. The pile after they were married was the largest. He said, "She has done quite well for herself." His website originally housed, The Good Wife's Guide where a good wife always knows her place.

Here are a few points from Housekeeping Monthly 13 May 1955:

  • 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 thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.
  • Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes 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.
  • Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax.
  • Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him 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, soothing and pleasant voice.
  • 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.
