In the first add, it basically shows women as a service to there husbands. Also I thought it was very interesting that she was hugging him from the back because it is always said that a good woman stands BEHIND her husband and I thought the ad definetly tried to imply that. Also this add showed how happy the man looked to have his wife doing everything and taking care of him and the wife looks so happy to actually be catering to her man and taking care of her husband. They make it seem like that if a woman does her "job" , the man will be happy, and then they both and the family will be happy. Lastly the statement stating that's what wives makes the emphasis on the service of women to men standout.
In the second add, it shows a woman of color who looks very uncomfortable and backed against the wall. It shows her as being an object just like the other things around her on the wall. Her hair is natural and wild and the clothing she is wearing is of a wild beast so I'm not sure if that had any significance of saying something like a woman, especially a woman of color, needs a man in order to transform from this untamed life to the role of a housewife. Also there is an uneasy or uncomfortable look on her face where it makes it seem as if she wants to get away from being backed into the wall but doesn't quite know how to herself and thinking that maybe waiting on a man to help her would be the best thing because thats how society makes it seem, you know like women need men.
