Yep. And you don't have to go all the way back to the 50's to find it. Wasn't "Stand by your man" a 60's song? And I vaguely recall some others about remembering to take the curlers out of your hair before he gets home from work, or some such. These songs were only just years, or maybe only months, before R-E-S-P-E-C-T hit the lists.

Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

Remembering my mother and grandmothers, the good wife's job was to convince her husband that he was in charge while finding devious ways to really be in charge herself. It may have taken more skill than we give them credit for.

Oh, I do not think I would have been able to marry in the 50's. "A good wife knows her place."

Whenever I see that I think: About 20 yards to the right so that when he misses the elk, she has a clear shot.""A good wife knows her place."
But that's just me. (Yes, I had a decidedly rural upbringing.)Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.
