There has been, and probably always will be, endless debate over what
is a good wife. There is this article, supposedly from a May

1955 Housekeeping Monthly magazine, that speaks directly to this
question. There are other sources as well that speak on the issue.

One is from Aristotle, another is this one about "Do men really want a
wife like June Cleaver." They bring up some very good

points. It is one of those questions that heats up each side of the
debate and truly has a different answer for each man. What do

you want in a wife? Beauty? Brains? Charm? Home and family oriented?
Strong willed? Independent? Docile? If you write out a list of

the ten things that you must have in your life partner what would they
be? Only you can decide the answers to this question.
