I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife who will keep my house clean. A wife who will pick up after my children, a wife who will pick up after me.
Iwant a wife who will keep my clothes clean, ironed, mended, replaced when need be. And she will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place. Then I can find what I need the minute I need it.
I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook. I want a wife who will plan the menus, do the necessary grocery shopping and prepare the meals. And she will serve them pleasantly. And then she will do the cleaning up while I do my studying.
I want a wife who will care for me when I am sick. And she will sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school. I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation. That way some one can continue to care for my children and me when I need a rest and a change to scene.

I want a wife who will not bother me with rambling complaints about a wife’s duties. But I want a wife who will listen to me when I feel the need to explain a rather difficult point I have come across in my course of studies. And I want a wife who will type my papers for me when I have written them.
I want a wife who will take care of the details of my social life. When my friends invite my wife and me out, I want a wife who will take care of the babysitting arrangements. When I meet people at school that I want to entertain, I want a wife who will have the house clean. She will prepare a special meal and serve it to me and my friends. She will not interrupt when I talk about the things that interest me and my friends.

I want a wife who will have arranged that the children are fed and ready for bed before my guests arrive so that the children do not bother us. I want a wife who takes care of the needs of my guests. She will make them feel comfortable. She will make sure they have an astray, that they are passed the hor d’oeuvres. She will offer them a second helping of the food. She will see that their wine glasses are replenished when necessary. She will serve them their coffee as they like it.
And I want a wife who knows that sometimes I need a night out by myself.
I want a wife, who is sensitive to my sexual needs. My wife must make love passionately and eagerly when I feel like it. My wife must make sure that I am satisfied. And, of course, I want a wife who will not demand sexual attention when I am not in the mood for it.

I want a wife who will remain sexually faithful to me. I do not want to have to clutter up my intellectual life with jealousies. And I want a wife who understands that my sexual needs may entail more that strict adherence to monogamy. I must, after all, be able to relate to people as fully as possible.
By chance, I may find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have. Then I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one. Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life. M wife will take the children and be solely responsible for them so that I am left free.
When I am through with school and have acquired a job, I want my wife to quit working. She will remain at home so that my wife can more fully and completely take care of a wife’s duties.

My God, who wouldn’t want a wife?
