Stepford Wifery 101 part 7

From the Good Wife Guide:
  • Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him 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, soothing and pleasant voice.

Since it seems unclear if this is something to be done before dinner, we at The (real) Stepford Wives believe this is after dinner, before bedtime. Many of our husbands work at home in the evenings so taking extra steps to see to their comfort is very important. Seeing to their comfort is our pleasure. Creating a calm pleasing environment.

We do routinely offer to remove our husbands shoes after dinner (we believe shoes should be worn at the dinner table) and help them get settled. We check on them offering to refresh their drinks, offer snacks, or the TV remote. We speak always in low pleasing tones, our job is to relax our husbands not stress them out.
