I like the: "often comments on husbands masculinity and strength"!
and, -3, fail
You are definitely not the only one to laugh at that! I giggled, too.
When my aunt got married, she had a surgery shortly after, and her mother in law gave her a book. Something like "how to be the happy wife of a happy husband". It was full of these types of things.
I got two books about being a good wife at my bridal shower. I started reading one of them, but didn't get very far (like maybe page 15). The other, I never read a word of it.
Did anyone else get books like this at their showers? I was surprised, because I didn't expect to receive anything like this.
Ack. I think our priest gave us some vow options that had something to do with being a good wife. I nixed those.
Kasa - were they possibly meant as a joke?
No, I'm sure they weren't meant to be a joke. I just pulled them off my bookshelf for the first time in years.
For Women Only -- this is the one that I read a few pages of. It says it's all about men, but what I read was about how wives need to look pretty and shave their legs and whatnot because that makes men happy. My cousin got me this book, I think.
The Most Important Year in a Man/Woman's Life -- I never even opened this book and neither did my husband. I forgot that it's half for men and half for women. I don't remember who got this one for me either.
It's amazing that I have a successful marriage, considering I haven't read these how-to guides.
Apparently I'm a horrible wife. I got -13!
Lol, Molly. If those were the vows we used, they also talk about how to be a good husband.
"dainty, perfumed and feminine..." hee hee.
-7 here too.
Kasa, I did not receive any book like that. I am kind of amazed those are still in print.

Although, I didn't select "active in a women's organization" - does the Nest count? ;-)
Haha. Maybe!
This.
