I was raised in a farming community and "the list" has some points that were imperative for the family to function. Of course, there are points like "speaking in gentle tones" that weren't plausable since al the men had tractor ear.
My other grandparents lived very upscale and indeed, that list was followed (almost) to a "T". Of course she had full time help and hat sure makes it eaier...The exchange for both couples was utter devotion, lavished lives and respect for the home they made and kept. Honestly a win-win.
I have to agree with Delt Alum. The perspective is from 50 or so years ago.
I also feel as a wife in 2002-there are those points that lend themselves to a mutually respectful, loving relationship. The best one is not to hit him with a bunch of negative right off the bat.
Just do a little experiment and take note. You will see many times the mood is set for the evening by the attitude of the wife once the man enters the home.
