A retro guide to marriage—with a wink

Presented as a tongue-in-cheek look at 1950s family values, this book gathers traditional advice about a wife’s role in keeping her husband comfortable and content. Its topics include cooking from scratch, maintaining a clean home, and appearance, framed through the period’s expectation that the husband be treated as the household’s “king.” The contrast between that outlook and contemporary sensibilities is central to the book’s premise, making it as much a snapshot of dated marital conventions as a collection of domestic tips.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in retro domestic advice and changing ideas about marriage.
  • Shoppers seeking a humorous gift for a bride-to-be or a married couple.

Book overview

Be all the wife he needs! A tongue-in-cheek look at how the values and traditional family roles in the 1950s seem oh, so strange now.

A man's home is his castle, and as such, he should be treated like a king! This fun, retro volume shows wives how to keep his royal highness happy. When he returns home from his demanding job, a man rightfully deserves a bit of pampering. A happy smile, a warm kiss, and a pair of cozy slippers are just the start. Here are all the secrets for helping him feel comfortable and content:

  • Advice on cooking from scratch
  • The lowdown on why a clean home makes hubby feel better
  • Valuable hints on making yourself more attractive to him

The Good Wife is a great and humorous gift for brides-to-be or happily married wives, for Valentine's Day, and bridal showers and bachelorette parties.
