If you follow these rules form the Good Wife's guide published in 1955, then you wont be too far off the mark
Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.
Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.
Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.
Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables.
During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.
Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.
Be happy to see him.
Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.
Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.
Don't greet him with complaints and problems.
Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.
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.
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.
A good wife always knows her place.
****Puts on tin hat and runs for cover*******
I'm going to have to duck and run for cover too because...,
I sort of agree with many of these.
Ack! I know! Feminist bomb the lady!
I think men should be treated like men. Make him feel wanted, important, special, taken care of... He will shoukd do the same back to you.0 -
Nurturing relationships?
Can I be blunt without coming off as creepy or trollish?
I don't need, require or desire nurturing but steady, rip roaring sex.
That's all the nurturing I need.
I realize ladies need more, so I send or bring flowers twice per month and leave stupid notes around with little things like "thinking of you" or "you are my sunshine"...and on and on....
It takes effort and what is absurd and irrelevant to me is the world to her.
Anyway, that's my take.
Maybe some guys are different.....:bigsmile:
You're lady is lucky! It's the little things men do that make us happy and put a smile on our face.... Most men know what to do, they just choose not to. =(0 -
Men want three things...
1) Sex - often, every where, every way
2) Food - make us our favorite foods once per week if not more often
3) Affirming words - Specific to the guy. Figure out how he likes his ego stroked and do it daily
Do this and he will never leave or cheat...0 -

Pretty much sums it up Bobby.
Please....
All that's ANNOYING!
I am easy to figure out.
Fortunately for women like me who like a man with some substance, not all men are this simple.

Show an interest in his hobbies..but don't try to take them over.
I'm a female... but, I agree with this!0 -
Depends on your guy some guys are really needy especially if they are with an independant gal and need to feel the lurve

Men are easy.
Steak and a BJ
Some men are just a wee bit more complex than that.
Yeah. They are gay. (not that there is anything wrong with that)...0 -
Oh, yeah...let hm come in thru the back door on special occasions. Just sayin.0

Be loyal.
Treat your partner with respect.
Understand their hopes, dreams and fears and support them through that.
Be great in bed.
Expect the same in return.0 -

and as many have said, dont think so much/too hard about it. men are simple in many ways and if things are good, you dont need to worry about what is going on in their head, if things are bad you might so dont let things get bad.
when a man tells you about something they accomplished or you see them do something, show them you noticed and that you are impressed. the rest of the time, be physical and have sex whenever possible.
aside from being physical, men like to be the hero and solve problems, we like to come in and move your desk or kill the bug or fix your bike so ask us to and be impressed when we do (thats all part of the stroking the ego that was mentioned). we like it when you are impressed with us whether it is because we rocked the big meeting at work or made a jump shot in a rec league game or anything we took the time to care about trying to do. then we want to have sex to celebrate the accomplishment.0 -

^^All of this. And I say that as a woman who has been married for 20 years. The mistake lots of women make is in trying to "chick-ify" their man. Keep the good times rolling in the sack and most men will treat you like a goddess. That's been my experience, anyway. 0 -
Rub his feet, make him dinner, please him as often as he wants...if that's not nuturing, I don't know what is!0

And fortunately for me, I have an independent woman who does not need to cling or engage in boring conversation all day. Substance is code-word for "needy".

And if you want boring, one way conversation, hire a shrink.0 -

A friend of mine says all men want is " an empty sack & a full stomach" I also like a little peace to watch a movie, without a thousand questions about the plot or a massive monologue of how your friend/sister/mother upset you earlier today
Russ
Oh, my word. I don't know how my brother can be married to his wife. She is the most annoying person to watch a movie with. She never shuts up! I usually have to leave the room before I lose control and beat her to death with the TV remote.0 -
