Even though I can't agree with her husband-finding methods, this is quite impressive by modern standards:
WAKING up at 6am, Bronte Rawlingson rushes to the kitchen to whip up her husband’s favourite breakfast before a day of cleaning and looking after their children...
Dropping out of private school for love and then choosing to become a teen mum at 19, she is a self-confessed “traditional wife” and has no interest in having a career.
The 29-year-old is married to Phil, 35, a plumbing business owner, and says staying home and being “feminine” helps their marriage flourish.

... I get up at 6am to make my hubby breakfast & clean, if women looked after their men like me they wouldn’t get divorced
I cook breakfast for my husband and deliver it to him in our home office pretty promptly between 7 and 7:30 most mornings.

If their husband is fortunate enough to have a wife who actually is in love with him, they'll start to pay more attention to him when the kids start growing older, but....
Mine doesn't eat breakfast at home. But I do pack his lunch every day. And when we are at a party with buffet I will fill his plate, and yes, folks do stare when I do it, but I don't care:) Men like when you make a fuss about them:)
