Dinner Ready, Kids Silent, Ribbon in Your Hair: The 1950s Guide to Marriage
Description
In this episode, we dive into a viral article titled “Tips to Look After Your Husband,” supposedly from a 1950s home economics book. While we can’t confirm its authenticity, the advice - like “put a ribbon in your hair” and “don’t greet him with complaints” - definitely sparks some strong reactions.
We break it down with laughs, plenty of eye-rolls, and raised eyebrows, while reflecting on how relationships and home dynamics have changed. We also discuss what an “alpha male” really means today, which points from the past still hold up, and how the pressure to “keep it all together” persists.
Tune in for a good laugh, a little reflection, and a whole lot of honesty as we chat about what it really means to be in a modern partnership - and find out which era we’d actually prefer living in!
