Michelle Duggar, mother of 19, has this advice to give to us about what a husband needs and what a wife should do to meet those needs.  I found this gem over at Jesus Needs New PR.  I started to embolden some texts and add “emphasis mine,” but I realized that I’d made most of it bold.  It’s all bad; every single internalized misogynistic word of it.

Oh and the photo is from this Radar online article where the Duggars endorse Santorum as “The Man of God To Lead The Nation.” You just can’t make this stuff up. ~ Kim

A Husband Needs A Wife Who Accepts Him As A Leader And Believes In His God-Given Responsibilities: Husbands are commanded to govern their wives; God works through a man’s decisions – good or bad; Bad decisions reveal his needs and allow the wife to appeal and demonstrate Godly character; The more a wife trusts her husband, the more careful he will be in giving her direction; Never ask others for counsel without your husband’s approval; reassure your husband that you understand and believe that he is your God-given leader.

A Husband Needs A Wife Who Will Continue To Develop Inward And Outward Beauty: How can you become more of the wife of your husband’s dreams?; discover and conform to your husband’s real wishes; explain your hairstyle to others on the basis of your submission to your authority; separate your ‘rights’ from your responsibilities.

Ask Your Husband To Define Your Responsibilities: Ask your husband to tell you when you have a resistant spirit; dispel a backbiting tongue by silence.
