The blog i previously posted was showing a list of "requirements" in the 1950s for wives to be a "good wife". I asked many of you if you agree and I got a lot of responce back through emails and comments. (IF YOU HAVE NOT READ IT, GO READ THAT ONE FIRST!)
Do I agree with that list?.......
Call me crazy!
Yes!! I agree with most of it. Before you girls freak out, hear me through.
Take in concideration that this was written in a different era, so some of this isnt exactly what i agree with, but 90 percent of it, I practice on a daily basis.
Why? because going into marriage I knew this was my role, and I love it. Call me old fashioned but I feel like there would be less divorce if this would happen more often. I will be causing a lot of people to hate me for saying all of this, but i am strong on this fact and it is what works for me. If you were to ask my husband right now if i really live by what I am saying, he would tell you the facts. I fail 50 percent of the time ;) but i try 90 :) Keep in mind, those rules for women were in regards to the fact that woman stayed at home all day with no job while the man is at work, and work back then was a little harder.
And of course since im a PERFECT wife we ALWAYS! get along!
^^^^^^SARCASM!!!^^^^^^^
Don't get married if you dont expect to be expected to do most of the dishes most of the house keeping most of the laundry and constantly thinking about how to please the other person more than yourself. It just wont work without it. I strongly believe however, that the guy should be making most of the income and handling most of the bills without stressing you over them, and if something is broke, he fixes it, and he should be more loving towards you than any other person you know.
I believe the woman in the 50s had it right and I dont see why we cant do that as wives today. Im not saying to let your husband take advantage of you by serving him and letting him just sit on his but. He should be expected to do something around the house also. Many of you reading this dont believe in God and that is your fair descision but the bible enforces this behavior pretty strongly.
Wives, submit to your own husbands, the same way as to the Lord. Ephesians 5:22
as SLAVES of CHRIST, doing the will of God serving Him completely and with your whole soul. Ephesians 6:6
Whether you believe in that or not, the one thing you need to believe is that if you are choosing to get married you are choosing to love this person more than anything in the world including yourself. The catch... he must do the same thing for you.
By the way.... im not some dull housewife that just sits around kissings @$$ all day. I like to lounge around and watch movies and vege out on the couch and take naps and spend money on hair and nails and make up and go out with friends.
Im a modern house wife wife with an attutude at times.
PS! My next blog might be like recipes or quotes or something but i really want feedback and marriage advice to me from other married woman.!
