Melina posted an interesting article today. I only get the free portion now, but lets discuss. It's long but the gist is that women have a responsibility to look attractive even after commitment. I honestly let myself go, but I'm working on it. What do you ladies think?

Wife School; The Importance Of Being A Hot Wife
Good afternoon my feminine darling! Many divorce files reveal that husbands are often disappointed in their wives' appearance. This disappointment, which is a strong negative factor in marriage, often manifests itself a relatively short time after the wedding.
The husband in question thought that he was marrying a pretty and feminine woman, and he was. Nevertheless, after a few years - often sooner - he discovers that he was mistaken. The image he had painted of his wife before the wedding has undergone a profound change.
Perhaps when they were dating, as well as during the period of their engagement, her carriage, style of dressing, hair and face were always attractive. But since the wedding she may now pay little or much less attention to these important externals when she's alone with him.
She ignores his wishes. He admonishes her and complains. But finds little response. He may even start looking at other women and making comparisons. He will hold these better looking women up as models, and scenes of jealousy will be the result.
"How well-dressed ----- looked this evening!" the husband may remark. "Then why didn't you marry her?" the wife may respond.
Some women believe that when a husband is always finding fault with his wife that he really wants another woman. I don't think this is quite the case, lovely. I believe the husband wants his own wife, but he wants her perpetually and eternally different.
Not only does a man want a hot wife, but a wife's whose twenty women in one, always the same, and never the same! To him this gives monogamous marriage the charm of legalized polygamy.
According to the complaint of many a husband, wives neglect themselves physically at home.
They say things like;
"Every day she walks around with her hair in the same old bun with one of those ugly scrunchies."
"Every time I get home she's wearing old sweat pants. It's getting unbearable..."
"She never makes an effort to be attractive. Even when she leaves the house with me. It's embarrassing."
Yet when the same women expect one of their friends over they may stand in front of the mirror for hours! Such wives more or less lets themselves go, dove. But when the same wives visit other people, or have visitors, they often undergo a sudden and complete change.
Husbands of such wives are usually completely blind to the fact that the same reproach can be leveled against themselves. They may only see messy hair that's in need of a wash, unkempt clothes, the same old t-shirt and pair of jeans, faded old underwear, no makeup, a lack of effort to attract...
The results of a woman's self-neglect are obvious.
Since a husband and wife spend a lot of their time home together, the home is the very arena where the wife should be attractive to her husband.
It's in your home where you should be the most feminine and seductive in your appearance. A home is also the place where a man's image of his wife is formed, and where it becomes engraved on a husband's mind.
Sadly, lovely, many wives are overlooking this to an extraordinarily shocking degree. Such wives may go about the house with rumpled hair, put on sweats every morning, welcome their husbands home in clothes reserved for house-cleaning, sit at their tables looking just as shabby, and reserve their best outfits for strangers.
Interestingly, many a husband interprets a wife's negligence as a sign that she has lost interest in him, and that her consideration and love for him have subsided.
The fact of the matter is that many men are quite vain about their wives, lovely, and are more than concerned with looks. They expect their girlfriends, fiancees and wives to look as hot as possible at all times, and they also have a 'type.'
Yet men take only a small part in choosing their wives' clothing, hair-styles and so on. Ideally, from the day of her wedding, a woman should see to it that her husband takes an active interest in her shopping for outfits. Ideally, as well, he should help his wife choose the things that make her pretty and feminine in his eyes.
The advantage of this is obvious. The wife pleases her husband, and she eliminates in advance any justification for criticism of her clothing. Moreover, she shouldn't be angry, much less feel hurt, if her husband admires another woman's hair, the color of her lipstick, another woman's dress, her shoes, and so on.
Fortunately for wives there are always other dresses and pairs of shoes just as pretty, another specimen of the same lipstick, and ways to make their own self just as alluring.
It may be true that a wife won't choose for herself what's becoming on another woman, but her husband can certainly assist her in choosing whatever flatters her face, her figure, and her personality. *Smile*
If a husband says to his wife about one of their friends "Paula dresses so well." Or: "Evelyn really knows how to look feminine." His wife should insist that he accompany her the next time she goes shopping to buy a new outfit.
Furthermore, cupcake, feminine dresses, skirts and heels are undeniably of considerable importance in a marriage because dressing femininely for a husband, and with with taste, pleases a husband and gives a woman an advantage.
On the other hand, sloppiness and ugliness of dressing only cause a husband disappointment, and possibly, embarrassment.
However, even the loveliest and most feminine items of clothing will be of no avail to a wife if she wears them unattractively. To be attractively dressed isn't merely a matter of money. It's rather a matter of wit, taste, understanding, and knowledge.
A woman with a fifty-dollar dress may be better dressed than a woman with a five-hundred-dollar dress. And a woman who owns five dresses may be better dressed than one who owns twenty.
A smart woman is clever with the way she dresses. She learns to change her clothes like an intelligent card shuffler, and always gives them another charming nuance with a couple of colorful clips, a flower, an attractive scarf, and/or a bright belt.
"Another new dress?" may be her husband's response. The smart wife will never answer with responses such as: "New? I've been wearing it for eight weeks. You never look at me!"
An intelligent wife will simply smile at the question and offer her husband variation in her clothing.
For it's the change, the 'always different' that's intriguing to men. Furthermore, to speak of dresses means also to speak of dressing and undressing - or vice versa. And the more charmingly a woman is dressed, the more fascinating it is to undress her. *Giggles*
