The wife is the very life of the household and hence the housewife's job is a full-time occupation. If the husband has ths responsibility of maintaining the household, the wife has the duty of preserving the same. The first few years of marriage may besaid to bs years of adjustment. This is also^the psriod for the wife to learn to accept the situation of the be-all and end-all of affairs she is to manage. The husband, young as he may be, may return from work to enjoy the pleasure of the wife's company. This is the time for mutual give-and-take and to plan for a better tomorrow. If the wife drags on the pressure of her own day and her worries and thereby upsets the mood, this giving of oneself to mutual blessedness and happiness may disappear.
A little glamour and a hearty greeting of welcome may be all an exhausted soul may. require to boost his spirits and start the evening on an ebullient note. The vestige of this novelty has to go on during the early days of marriage until a deep-seated trust is firmly implanted in the minds of both the spouses. The business of dinner itself has to be a bit of a piece of art. Whatever lack of comfort there may be in this, whether regarding food items or the mode of preparation, the evening has to be made pleasant by personal attention, care, smiles and good behaviour. In that case it is quite possible that the discomforts of food may disappear. It may sound preposterous but in the early years of marriage, too much may be expected of the wife and what the wife may do is to live up to that in the best way she can, remembering that it may be a passing phase for the husband, who at this initial period may.expect from his wife some magic to turn his home into a mini paradise. Bedroom manners count most in, these green years of marriage because here, as nowhere else, the man and his wife have to face all the intimacies of their living and small rubbings of nerves in the wrong way, tiny discords, a few false steps, etc., may appear magnified to one of the partners or to both. The husband may like to have the light on for some bed-time reading or he may like to take some shower or exercise before turning in or he may like to smoke cigarettes a few too many. The wife may also take an unduly long time in finishing her nightly chores, she may not care for much grooming for 'the nocturnal rest, her tastes may be too refined or too average, and so a secret war is on—the war of nerves. This can be avoided if the wife, who is in charge of the house and in those first years has much time to think and plan, understands easily the needs of the husband. With a little intelligence and tact, she can have herself launched gloriously intheirjointlife.
