A friend sent this to me…
I’d like your reaction (maybe your wife’s reaction!)

Well, believe it or not, I love this kind of stuff. I wish our country would get back to the true meaning of what each of our positions are as a husband and a wife, instead of all this “equality” garbage. This article however, was a little bit over the top. I fully agree with making a home a place where our husbands can come home and not think about their day at work, especially if it was a stressful day. It’s important to me to make sure that my home is that way for my husband, so I agree with a lot of the points made regarding that. But some of the comments about, “his topics of conversation being more important than ours, and not complaining if he stays out all night, etc.”, I just had to laugh.
Unfortunately, you’ll never see anything even close to this in today’s “modern woman’s” magazines.
Deb,
What I find interesting is how this magazine went from a magazine that was primarily marketed to homemakers, to a “house and home” type magazine.This has probably happened over the past few decades as the high calling of being a “homemaker” as a career been ridiculed.
There is however a fairly popular (at least in Christian circles) modern womens magazine that is dedicated to wives, mothers and homemakers called “Above Rubies”
