Being a Stepford Wife does not mean bowing down to your Man's/Husbansd's every desire.
It is recognizing his role as head of the household and letting him know that you support him.

Now this is not to say that you must be a "YES" wife, it is a give and take.
Here are some 10 guidelines to begin your assimilation into the Stepford Wife Community (If you will... lol) :

- When you throw your hair up for the day, throw on a scarf, wrap, or make a cute bun, or chignon. It takes no more effort than a pony tail. (I will post some quick "housework" up- do hair videos one day for you).
- Throw on some colored lip balm. (See my blog post on how to make home made colored lip balm.)

- NO husband wants to come home to a lady who looks a hot mess every single day. Yes it is exhausting to get made up and put something fancy on every day, and that is not what I am suggesting. What I am suggesting is that a few days out of the week put something on that makes YOU feel special and pretty.
- Use those clothes with holes, stains, tears, or those that are too big, for CLEANING HOUSE only. Put them in a drawer and do away with everyday wear. When hubby sees you in these he will know you have been hard at work on the house for the DAY. If you wear them everyday he just thinks you gave up even if you clean everyday.
- If you are going to the grocery, you may see someone you know dress with that in mind. You don't have to wear heels and a skirt, but some nice pants, and shirt with some jewelry will do the trick.
- If you are going out with the hubby dress appropriately for the venue, however don't just throw something on, let him know you wish to respect him by "Representing". You don't have to dress to the nines however, put on some jewelry, fix the hair, and some colored lip balm and mascara.
3. Makeup for the day:
- You don't have to do a full face everyday.
- Let him know you are trying to put a "best foot forward" by throwing on some colored Lip Balm, Mascara, and blush. (See my quick make up for the day blog).

4. Make his favorite dinner without it being for a "Reason".

5. If you are the "Lady of the House" (or Housewife) tidy a bit:
- This is for those ladies who work in or outside of the home, these items are easy quick Tricks to appear you have worked all day!
- Hubby likes to come home to a clean house. You don't have to do a thorough house clean everyday.
- Pick up all the little things around the living areas, and make the bed. These little things will keep your home looking amazing without all the extra effort.
- When you dirty dishes put them immediately in the dishwasher and keep the kitchen sink clean. This "Trick" makes it look like you are working much HARDER than you really are.

6. Movie or TV night.
- If you are home all day long, chances you have watches a bit of television throughout the day. When hubby comes home, let him have the Television.
- If you have a favorite show that comes on during the hours hubby is home, simply let him know that you would like to have the television every week during that day at that time. Men like to have a set routine.
- Me and my hubby do something that most families did in the 1950's 1960's. We have one show we agree on during dinner or family time. We watch one episode (yes even on netflix) during this time as a family unit.
- When we want to watch a movie together we choose a movie that we either both agree on or he chooses one this week and tolerate my crying, and I watch one he chooses, and deal with the loud explosions. LOL.

7. If you notice his clothes need to be tossed out:
- First ask if he is attached to those holey undies for a reason. (yes you would be surprised lol)
- Know what needs replacing and just replace it. Chances are you know what your hubby likes, even if he is picky.
- Knowing your hubbies favorite undershirt, undies, or socks brand is an amazing thing to men and they LOVE it. Especially if they don't have to go shopping for those items.

8. If he falls asleep watching television:

- Let the program he was watching finish. YES it is annoying as all get out!!!!
- Once his program is finished, gently wake him and let him know his neck is crooked and you were worried he would wake with a sore neck.
- If hubby is snoring, gently wake him and let him know politely he was snoring and you are worried he will wake with a sore throat.
- It is difficult NOT to snap!!! Just don't, compose yourself, do it before you are at breaking point.
9. Never let a man make you feel less than:
- Yes all couples argue and say things they don't mean, and call each other names, but there are things you just DON'T have to take.
- You should never let your man tell you consistently that you are less than an amazing human being.
- You should never put your hands on your man, hit him, or throw things at him ( unless they are very soft and you allow him to throw it back at you, the soft thing lol) This looks funny in the movies, however, when a plate is flying at your head it is not funny at all. It is a crime.
- If you are constantly yelled at, that is not a great feeling. Attempt to sit and ask your man what he is really angry about. Now you know your man and I am not a counselor, don't do something that will get you in a pickle.
- If you are being abused PLEASE TELL SOMEONE! There are wonderful places for women to go to and get help, assistance, etc. Have a plan! There are many free programs for counseling as well.

- This will make your life so darn easy!!
- Make a 7 day plan for breakfast lunch and dinner. (use a mark and wipe board or paper and pen)
- Let hubby give his input on what he likes.
- If you know Friday is his busiest day, make sure it is something quick and easy to make and not too filling. He will probably want to watch t.v. and go to bed.
- Your menu should be quick and easy for you to cook. Most of my meals take 30 minutes to create and cook.
- Be flexible if hubby calls and says he does not want meatloaf for dinner, OK no problem switch the days around to accommodate.
- If you spent all day cooking and your man wants to go out to eat...OK . Put dinner in the fridge and go out to eat. He just wants to show you he appreciates you.
Remember Men can Be Stepford Husbands!!! These tricks work for you as well :)
