The society we live in now
expects so much from women
especially when it comes to
marriage and relationships.
Women are expected to be
loaded with certain
supernatural powers that could
hold marriages down and make
them work no matter what.
In view of these, it is totally up
to women to make marriages
work against all odds. While
they are working on shells in
ensuring their relationships do
not break, they also have to be
conscious of the way they sell
themselves to people.
The impression they give people
is one of the things that make
them get worked up. Most wives
in Nigeria are responsible
women; most times, women
getting married are usually
groomed in preparation of the
new life and phase they would
be starting.
Despite all these, there are
certain rules and regulations a
woman is expected to adhere to
if she wants to be referred to
as a good housewife in Nigeria.
If you are able to maintain
these rules as a woman, you
would not only be termed a good
housewife, you would also enjoy
the union for as long as possible.
Find below some of the rules
you have to stick to if you are a
good housewife or you aspire to
be one:
1. Never question his
authority
Allow him speak whenever he
wants and do not ask him
questions. Remember you are
his helper not his mother so
avoid asking him question. When
you are worried about his
whereabouts just get on your
knees and pray for him.
Do not attempt to call him
every five minutes asking for
his location. He would end up
being irritated and would end up
fighting you.
2. Always apologize when he is
angry
Please and please, do not try to
prove your right as a woman
when there is a fight. Just
apologize and get it over with.
Failing to do this means you are
fueling the argument and fight.
In order to be the perfect
housewife, apologize when he is
at fault and you are the one
hurting.
3. It is okay to work but
never earn more than him
Please do not ask us how
possible that is, just make sure
you find a way to work around
it. As soon as you start to work
and he knows your salary is
higher than his, he would come
up with different tales which
would point you as being not
submissive and arrogant
because you earn more than
him. Tell your boss at work to
keep the change for you.
4. Fulfill your duties as a
mother
While you are the working class
woman and wife, you must never
fail as a mother too. This means
it is your duty to take the
children to school, pick them up
and make his meals too. No
aspect must be robbed; if you
have to give up on one you know
it must not be the kids.
5. Appreciate him when he
helps in the house
Whenever he lifts a finger to
do anything in the house, sing
his praises all week because he
has left his jurisdiction to help
you take care of yours. If you
prove to him that it is not solely
your responsibility to take care
of the house, he would stop
helping to prove a point to you.
6. Thank him always
In order to be regarded as a
good housewife, you have to
chant his praises all the days of
your life because he saved you
from the spinsters’ club. Any
award or achievement recorded
in your name has to be
referenced to him.
While you are receiving the
award, you have to make a
public announcement stating his
support and you have to be
careful to mention his name
first.
7. Stay faithful to him and
be ready to forgive him when
he cheats
As a good housewife, you must
never be caught doing certain
things. Cheating is one of these
things. You have to be faithful
no matter what; but when he
cheats, you have to be ready to
forgive him almost immediately.
Remember he is the man and
you are the woman. Lol.
8. Lose the belly fat the
moment you deliver the baby
Another rule you have to stick
to in order to be referred to as
a good housewife is when you
stay in shape forever. This
means your stomach is expected
to go back to being flat the
moment the baby is delivered.
What excuse do you want to
give for your stomach being big
when you are not pregnant?
9. You must be a superwoman
You are expected to be a
superwoman with certain
abilities; you must never be
tired, sick or complain about
anything. You are expected to
do your chores swiftly and
dress smartly. You are not
expected to tie wrapper around
the house.
10. You must be innocent but
wild in bed
If you want to be a good
housewife, that means you are
expected to be an innocent
woman with little or no
knowledge of all the bad bad
things being done in the world.
But while you are in bed with
your husband, you are to
transform to a wanton and give
him a wild time in bed. If you do
not pay attention to this, you
may end up being called a
prostitute.
