Don’ts For Wives

DON’T let him have to search the house for you. Listen for his latchkey and meet him on the threshold.

DON’T try to excite your husband’s jealousy by flirting with other men. You may succeed better than you want to. It is like playing with tigers and edged tools and volcanoes all in one.

DON’T expect your husband to be an angel. You would get very tired of him if he were.

DON’T bother your husband with a stream of senseless chatter if you can see that he is very fatigued.

DON’T forget to wish your husband good morning when he sets off to the office. He will feel the lack of your good-bye kiss all day.

DON’T moralise by way of winning back the love that seems to be waning. Make yourself extra charming and arrange delicious dinners which include all your husband’s favourite dishes.

DON’T be jealous of your husband’s bachelor friends. Let him camp out with them for an occasional weekend if he wants to. He will come back all the fresher and full of appreciation for his home.

DON’T say, “I told you so” to your husband, however much you feel tempted to. It does no good and he will be grateful to you for not saying it.

DON’T let breakfast be a “snatch” meal. Your husband often does the best part of his day’s work on it and the engine can’t work if you don’t stoke it properly.
