TIPS TO LOOK AFTER YOUR HUSBAND.

1. HAVE DINNER READY

Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.

2. PREPARE YOURSELF

Take 15 minutes to rest; so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work weary people. Be more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.

3. CLEAR AWAY THE CLUTTER

Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a heaven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too.

4. 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. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.

5. MINIMISE ALL NOISE

At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washers, drier, dishwasher or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him.

6. SOME DON’TS

Don’t greet him with problems or complaints. Don’t complain if he is late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day.

7. MAKE HIM COMFORTABLE

Have him lean back inna comfortable chair or suggest he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax – uwind.

8. LISTEN TO HIM

You may many interesting things to tell him, but the moment he arrives is not the time. Let him talk first.

9. MAKE THE EVENING HIS

Never complain if he does not take you out for dinner or other places of entertainment. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, his need to come home and relax.

10. THE GOAL

Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.
