How to be a good wife

Good grief, have any of you seen the email that's doing the rounds about 'How to be a good wife', taken from The Good Wife Guide in 1955?

We nearly fell of our chairs. Sometimes you just feel so grateful to be born in a different era. We've taken a look at the guide's top tips and suggested some modern-day comparisons.

1955: Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return.

2008: Go to the supermarket together and choose a load of your favourite meals to cook at home. Order take out at least once a week.

1955: 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.

2008: Know that you are gorgeous and don't put yourself down, he loves you just the way you are.

1955: Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.

2008: Make sure you both take time out to relax together and do things you both love doing.

1955: Your goal: try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquillity where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.

2008: His goal: make sure you share the housework chores as otherwise resentment will build. Better still, if you can afford it, get some help around the house.

1955: Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day.

2008: Do lots of social things together, entertaining, going out for meals and getting dressed up. If he stays out all night regularly, consider divorce.

1955: Catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

2008: Looking after one another and doing things that make each other happy will give you both immense personal satisfaction.

1955: Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time.

2008: Honestly! Listen to each other - about all things. Communication is the key in every successful relationship. Keeping schtum will only mean feelings will boil over and cause more problems in the long run.

** Please! Tell me what you think...

Have a good wife...Home sweet home...cheerful !!
