西部落：对于女士而言: 事业与家庭--孰轻孰重?（在线收听）

Well, serve your man according to my next guest, all women should be a wife first, a mother second, and then focus on their career third. She calls Hillary Clinton a lousy wife while saying Laura Bush is a great one. So, what gets? With me now is Dr. Vorenica Corpening. Doctor, good to have you here.

Great to be here.

You know a lot of people are gonna hear that and say, oh, Man! What do you say?

I'd say that you were chosen to be a wife, and so you have to do your job as a wife just as well as you do your job as a physician, a lawyer, a politician. So when you're chosen, your husband expects you to meet the needs of him; you expect him to meet your needs. So therefore, you need to do what you need to do as a wife first and put that at the top of your priority list.

All right, now you said you had, and you were telling me during the break you have? 3 kids, right?

I have 3 sons.

All right, and, and you've been married for almost 20 years?

Yes.

And you put your husband ahead of the kids?

I do, I do things like take him to <the> train station every morning, pick him up at night. I work my schedule around my life as a wife, and then my life as a mother, and my children also understand that there is time where mum and dad are spending time together, and they are aside.

And, your argument is it makes for better parenting that way anyway, when the couple is tight, close, makes for better kids down the road, right?

It does because what has happened is that women have lost their way, and they don't know what it means to be a good wife and how do they learn that. They learn that through how their mother and father interacted at home. So we have to teach women and men what it means to be a good partner and then marriages would be much more successful.

Um, you said Hillary Clinton was bad at that, Laura Bush is good at it. What did you mean?

Hillary has been trying to be in front of her husband the whole time, and further her own career. When her husband was the most powerful man in the world, she wasn't behind his vision; she was behind her vision and (she) always has; whereas Laura Bush although she is a professional and a very intelligent woman, she always follows her husband and is behind his vision.

You, you know there're gonna be women listening to this say, well, you know, we are not slaves! We are not second-class citizens, you, you, you seemed to give that image.

I absolutely, I absolutely, I am not telling people to be a servant, em, you have to look at...

(inaudible) Does your husband like worship the ground you work on? I mean if you're here doing all this for him. If you were my wife, I would say, man, I'm gonna take you out every night. I'm gonna...

You are not, you are not superwoman. But Let's think about women like Nancy Reagan and Coretta Scott King, those are women who supported their, the vision of their husbands so well that even when their husbands were faltering and even when they were dead. They kept their vision alive.

All right, but what if you have a husband that er has a cheat on you left and right? chasing interns, I mean why be loyal to a guy like that?

Well, it probably started because one thing that Hillary does not give Bills is admiration, and she definitely looks like the type of woman that when he says I want some, she'd say, noway, I don't feel like .....

Hey, hey, hey. All right, so you are saying that you, you women just have to be a little more sycophantic to their husbands?

Well, there is a time to step back. And When you walk into the house, it's a time to step back and let your husband feel like he is in charge even though you know that there're, the decisions are being made side by side. You let him be forward and so there's peace in the home.

All right, even if it's the man deciding the peace.

The women are deciding the peace too, and the women who decide peace (are) the best.

So you are actually getting your way by making him think he's getting (it)…

You interestingly do get your way cause you are not having a fight about it anymore.

All right, I'd like you to come home and talk to my wife, Doctor. Doctor Veronica Corpening, thank you very very much. (Thank you) In fact there're gonna be a few e-mails on this particular segment.
