This is for: Young wives, and girls who wish to become young wives. We looked earlier at some of the Duties of the Young Wife — what a wife does immediately after her wedding day. We will set aside, for now, duties of Matrons, or mothers of older children and young adults. We began withContinue reading “Duties of the Young Wife #2: Home Decorating”

This is for: Young wives (age 18-25), and girls who plan to become young wives. Let’s say that a couple gets married. What then does a wife do? Before she becomes pregnant, a wife can certainly work, and may continue working at the job she had before. But, let’s say that a wife becomes aContinue reading “Duties of the Young Wife”

I used to have a joke: “My wife and I have a division of labor: I do the labor, and she takes care of the leisure.” But, actually, this did not bother me. It is normal that men should be busy. It is also normal that a wife should not be busy all day, ifContinue reading “Division of Labor”

After you have been married a while — let’s say it is ten years — women may not be much in the mood for sex anymore. They don’t feel like it, so they say: “I don’t feel like it,” and then nothing happens. I say to women: It seems to be natural for women toContinue reading “Just Say Yes”

Let’s say there’s a woman who follows the Feminist Life Script that everyone is telling her to follow. She goes to high school, does high school stuff, goes to college, does college stuff, graduates, gets a job, does single woman stuff, postpones marriage until 28, then goes looking for a husband. She has a lotContinue reading “It’s Men’s Fault”

Dalrock talked about the “feminist merit badge.” This is the idea — it is everywhere today, but nobody talks about it — that a woman must go to a good college, get a good job, and then build a career, then find a husband around age 28-30, and then quit her job and career, haveContinue reading “Forget the Feminist Merit Badge”

Today, women are repeatedly told not to marry when they are young; let’s say, before age 25. This used to be the outside edge of when women would marry, 16-25, with the ideal around 18-20. It is probably not best to start with those women who are well down the road to harlotry, or whoContinue reading “Marrying Instead of Cohabitating”

This recent series of blog posts by “Sharkly” describes typical features of dysfunctional wives today. As bad as this is, it is probably even worse for many men who marry women that are not regular churchgoers, and very often, have a sordid history of harlotry as well. I personally do not suffer from any ofContinue reading “Dysfunctional Women”

Here’s a woman who lives like it is 1958. This video is interesting for a number of reasons. The 1950s were the last time that there was anything resembling traditional morality in the U.S. (although by 1900 standards, “dating” in the 1950s was dangerously degenerate). If we set aside the period-correct details, what do seeContinue reading “Women in 1958”

Girls: Remember our goals thus far: Get married young (age 16-25, ideally 18-20), so that you can have a full set of children before age 32. Find a good husband. Live at home with your parents until you are married. Don’t go to college (except possibly a nearby one that will allow you to liveContinue reading “Advice For Girls #3: A Potential Wife”
