About You
Rules to being a goddess: 1955 vs 2008

June at nzgirl is all about being a goddess, and letting whoever you are shine!

As a bunch of modern, independent and forward thinking nzgirls we were amused, awed and slightly shocked when we came across ‘The Good Wife’s Guide’, a list of rules compiled in 1955 instructing women on how to be he best wife possible...

All we have to say is that we’ve come a long (and I mean, very long) way! Check out how the 1955 goddess guide compares to our 2008 nzgirl one!

1: Meal times
1955:
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.
 
2008: Make sure your bloke earns enough money so he can take you out and buy dinner.
 
2: Punctuality
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: Don’t complain if he stays out all night continuously and neglects to tell you, instead just make sure to lock all the doors and windows and place his possessions lovingly on the front lawn, OR if he doesn’t come home hunt his ass down, kick it, dump him and move on.
 
3: Greeting him
1955: Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.
 
2008: Your day was probably just as tough if not tougher than his day so let him give you a back rub – he will appreciate pleasing you.
 
4: Comfort time
1955: Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom.
 
2008: Make yourself comfortable (in bed) and offer to take his pants off!
 
5: Communication
1995: Listen to him. 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 always more important than yours.
 
2008: Men don’t actually like to talk so bombard him with your worries and happenings from the day. He’ll enjoy it!
