Stepford Wifery 101 part 8

From the Good Wife Guide:

Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

If any part of this list is true, we at The (real) Stepford Wives believe this final point is the crux of our personal beliefs. Our husbands are the celebrated heads of our houses. This is why our first rule is never argue with them. If they spend money on something we know and trust we can afford it. While we are free to look at bank statements and the like, we often choose not to because of our faith in them. We do not steal money from their wallets. We ask them before spending exorbitant amounts on major purchase. They decide on our budget and we stick to that.

In short we trust our husbands. We might at times disagree with them, but we know in our hearts they have our best interest. We voice disagreements decidedly, without raising our voices or becoming defensive. We do not manipulate our husbands, their final word is law. Period.

There are times we do not agree, but we hold our tongues and if they do make an error, we NEVER hold it against them.
