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.2.) 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.<img src="http://cdn7.littlethings.com/app/uploads/2015/11/wife-21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/midcenturyinprint/pool/?&utm_source=hds" target="_blank">Flickr/mid-century illustrated</a> 3.) Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you’ll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.4.) Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.<img src="http://cdn9.littlethings.com/app/uploads/2015/11/wife-3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/213287732326443334/?&utm_source=hds" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> 5.) Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper, etc. and then run a dust cloth over the tables.<img src="http://cdn7.littlethings.com/app/uploads/2015/11/1950s-housewife-600x854.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="http://wordsbecamebooks.com/2015/04/26/writing-for-women/?&utm_source=hds" target="_blank">And the Words became Books</a> 6.) Over 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 for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.<img src="http://cdn4.littlethings.com/app/uploads/2015/11/wife-5-600x750.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/127209930/vintage-1950s-childrens-print-mother?ref=shop_home_active_4&utm_source=hds" target="_blank">Etsy/printsandpastimes</a> 7.) 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.8.) Children are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet.<img src="http://cdn6.littlethings.com/app/uploads/2015/11/wife-6-600x782.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/172966441909949168/?&utm_source=hds" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> 9.) Be happy to see him. Free him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Listen to him.10.) 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.<img src="http://cdn9.littlethings.com/app/uploads/2015/11/wife-7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/119134352615565089/?&utm_source=hds" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> 11.) 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.<img src="http://cdn4.littlethings.com/app/uploads/2015/11/wife-8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/86201780340307850/?&utm_source=hds" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> 12.) Your goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquility where you husband can renew himself in body and spirit.13.) Don’t greet him with complaints and problems.<img src="http://cdn8.littlethings.com/app/uploads/2015/11/wife-10-600x755.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/22864665@N06/6233398207/?&utm_source=hds" target="_blank">Flickr/Isabel Santos Pilot</a> 14.) 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.<img src="http://cdn9.littlethings.com/app/uploads/2015/11/wife-11-600x723.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/472033604664137482/?&utm_source=hds" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> 15.) 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.16.) Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.<img src="http://cdn6.littlethings.com/app/uploads/2015/11/wife-53-600x728.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="http://theglamoroushousewife.com/2015/06/how-to-create-a-cleaning-schedule-that-works-for-you/?&utm_source=hds" target="_blank">The Glamorous Housewife</a> 17.) Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment of 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.<img src="http://cdn5.littlethings.com/app/uploads/2015/11/wife-13-600x824.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/86201780339842755/?&utm_source=hds" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> 18.) A good wife always knows her place.--------------------------------------------------------------I told my wife we are implementing these guidelines starting Monday. She told me I better find a new wife. I guess I'll have to look for an older woman. I'm a fan of # 14 & 15 naturally.</blockquote>
