That is clearly not where I'm coming from. I'm just trying to point out how an analogous article today that would make such emphasis would probably strike most people as inappropriate or chauvinistic. Don't you agree?
That's because people associate 'good wife' with a subservient wife. Feminism has encouraged women to act in their own interests rather than their families interests for some time now and the values have sunk into the culture.
'Good husband' doesn't have that connotation and for better or for worse, people still think that husbands should care for their wives and children and be respectable people themselves.
