I want to see the rest of the “Don’ts” section at the bottom.

“Don’t greet him with problems or complaints. You’re on your own with those in this relationship. Just smile and be a trophy wife and pretend everything’s fine.”

I love the juxtaposition of "rest and prepare yourself" with "clean the whole house and kids" like with what time advice? Also, this is all while cooking dinner too

As much as this is awful in its perspective of women, it makes sure to take the time to degrade children as well.

wash the children's hands and faces . . . comb their hair, and . . . change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.

It acts as if the purpose of marriage is for the wife to serve the needs of the husband above all else, and acts as if children are props to show how good (or bad) a job the wife is doing.
