Ladies, before you go searching for love from one of those online matchmaking sites, be sure to tally up your merits and demerits on this Marital Rating Scale.
I don't get it! Even if you have each thing on the merits side, it only adds up to 24 merits..which is very bad. Or maybe thats the point?
wow, crooked stocking, face cream, AND curlers! I thought thats what all housewives did in the 30's-50's!
Glad I'm where I am now and not back then.

I would move Demerit #2 to the Merits list, and Merit #11 to the Demerit list. Other than that, seems pretty solid.

I was filling this out for my wife, worried that #9 (puts cold feet on husband in bed) would ruin her score for her and I'd have to leave her, when she called me from the bike shop to tell me she took my bike in for a tune-up.
No matter what her score, I think I'll keep her. She'll never know just how close she came.

Turns out that, while I'd be a "very superior" husband, my girlfriend would be a "poor" (though on the border of "average") wife. I might need to rethink this, as certainly I can do better than someone who goes about in stocking feet, wears pajamas instead of nightgowns, and squeezes the toothpaste from the top.
Thanks, Dr. Crane, for saving me a lifetime of heartache!

Yeah, this is the least objectionable one of these I've ever come across. Having a scorecard for husband is a step forward.
"Least objectionable" is relative, obviously, as there are a lot of assumptions about the proper roles for husbands and wives but at least there is a recognition that wives and husbands need to work at a good marriage.

Husband's Merit Scale #9: Reads newspaper, books, or magazines aloud to wife.
Actually, this is really nice, especially when one of you is cooking or doing the dishes. But we've mostly switched to radio because of that problem.
This is on the women's merit list: "Reacts with pleasure and delight to marital congress" (10). Personally, I would have thought that her pleasure is his job (just as his pleasure is hers). I supose it just means being interested; making an effort to be interested in important in a relationship (especially when stress can really affect sex drives).
But I think I should have gotten more than one point for this: "Keeps self dainty, perfumes and feminine" - now, he hates perfumes, so I don't have to worry about that, but I've been working really hard to stay female (which matters, because he's straight), and I want more recognition for that.
But yeah, I'm sucky wife material. Don't even wear stockings, let alone straight ones. And I come from a culture that believes shoes on in the house is both uncomfortable and rude/unclean.

That reminds me of "10,000 Dreams Interpreted" which was written by Herman Miller in 1901. It's STILL on the shelves in nearly every bookstore, it's the classic standard dream interpretation book, I guess. Anyhow I remember in high school (mid 1980s) I was thumbing through it while on the phone with a friend. We rode horses so I started reading what the horse dreams were. Started out pretty dull... "seeing or riding a white horse," "see a horse running away with others," "see a wounded horse"... very pedestrian stuff. As I kept reading, both my friend and I were kind of falling asleep because we were really just doing what teenagers do and continuing to talk about nothing for hours on end even though we had nothing important to say.
So I continued reading the dreams... "trimming a horse's mane...", "riding a black horse...", "riding a horse down hill...", blah blah blah. We're both nearly asleep as I start to read the very last dream in this classic book. Which, since 1901, has apparently gone exactly like this:
To see a horse in human flesh, descending on a hammock through the air, and as it nears your house is metamorphosed into a man, and he approaches your door and throws something at you which seems to be rubber but turns into great bees, denotes miscarriage of hopes and useless endeavors to regain lost valuables. To see animals in human flesh, signifies great advancement to the dreamer, and new friends will be made by modest wearing of well-earned honors. If the human flesh appears diseased or freckled, the miscarriage of well-laid plans is denoted.
As I started to read it, I was sleepy... but by the time I got to the word "flesh" I started to wake up. Then it just got funnier with every word until my friend and I were laughing so hard we were crying and I could no longer speak by the time they got to "great bees." Because WHO THE FUCK DREAMS THAT DREAM!!!!?????? I mean, I have a hard time thinking it's a big problem, y'know? I mean, I've tried to PICTURE that dream and I can't get much further than trying to picture a human flesh horse, let alone trying to figure out what it looks like for a flesh horse to descend on an airbound hammock and throw great bees of rubber.
God I love that dream.
