No, I long for the good old days when it was possible in most places in the US for a family of four to live off the income of one parent. But now, due to outrageous taxation at all levels, that is no longer the case.
I also long for the days when a fatherless home was the exception rather than the rule, and then, usually due to an unfortunate loss of the father.
In both cases, my comments refer back to the family's ability to provide the offspring with proper parenting, either denying them all quality time together or by denying them the benefit of a positive male role model.
The piece "The Good Wife's Guide" is asinine and an affront to human dignity and the American spirit...freedom and liberty. It wasn't like that in my parent's household.
Would "The Good Husband's Guide" counsel men on how not to get stumbling drunk too often, and not get carried away while beating your wife?
The "guide" essentially labels the husband as a master and the wife as a servant with no ability to participate in financial or family related decision making, not to mention possessing any personal opinions.
To the final comment you circled: "A good wife knows her place"...
What if she's smarter, stronger, has a more valuable skill set or is real handy with a weapon?
Good morning, I didn’t write that, I just found it and remember reading articles like that when I was young! LOL I long for the days when the man was the hero, the bread winner the protector and the woman loved the man. When life was simpler, and only needed one bread winner...too.
Yes, I agree...a true american wife loves the good in her husband but will stand against him when he is wrong! With strength and love. God’s spirit is in both the husband and wife after all...whether or not it is activated in each one.
