Aproned wife- Thanks so much! It sounds like I am on the right track. We started attending a dresses only church and I do encourage her feminine look. She is still a bit on the fence, and so I am unsure how hard to press. I will continue to encourage feminine things... I am not sure what a pinafore apron is, but she does wear bib aprons alot. Any further input would be helpful.

I understand your husband's rule. However how can I convince my wife to let me throw away her pants? She feels that this compromise is fine. I would rather continue to feminize her with her cooperation if possible, but am unsure as to how far to go. Already she is growing her hair from shoulder to waist line...

In my house these things are a little extreme. My wife does wear aprons when doing housework, and she wears long dresses most of the time. The only exception to this is when she is doing something "outdoorsy". I then allow her to wear pants. Do you think I am out of line? And if your wife is a new christian and isn't used to submission is there a way to make her thus without a fight?

It isn't a matter of controlling the woman. In fact, like most women, she really has control in the family. If women would use their femininity to manipulate instead of nagging and yelling they would weild more power in a relationship. My wife knows that by being demure and feminine (skirts, dresses, aprons...sewing, crotcheting, cooking, cleaning) she will be treated as a lady. In other words what gentleman would ever allow a woman to shovel the snow in a dress, or lift heavy objects that need moved, etc. Most women want to be pampered but reject the way to recieve pampering. My wife knows that by using her feminine qualities even if it means being a 1950's style housewife and mom she can expect the royal treatment.

What stay at home said is so true! My wife wants to be supported and kept and is willing to obey the rules I set for her. I am the head of the household and she likes it this way. She often tells me that because she isn't allowed to spend $ without my permission it gets her off the phone quickly with telemarketers. All she has to say is, "My husband makes the decisions."
