Married Life
Married Life- Good Counsel for a wife and mother: “I will try and make myself and all around me agreeable. It will not do to leave a man to himself till he comes to you; to take no pains to attract him, or to appear before him with a long face. It is not so difficult as you think, dear child to behave to a husband so that he shall remain forever a husband. I am an old woman, but you can do what you like; a word from you at the right time will not fall of its effect; what need have you to play the suffering virtue? The tear of a loving girl, says an old book, is like a dew drop on a rose; but that on the cheek of a wife is a drop of pain to her husband. Try to appear cheerful and contented and your husband will be so; and when you have made him happy, you will become so, in reality. Nothing flatters a man so much as happiness of his wife; he is always proud of himself as being the source of it. As soon as you are cheerful you will be lively and alert and every moment will afford you an opportunity to let fall an agreeable word. Your education, which gives you an immense advantage, will greatly assist you, and your sensibility will become the noblest gift that nature has bestowed on you, when it shows itself in affectionate, assiduity and stamps on every action a soft, kind tender character, instead of wasting itself in secret repinings.”
