Good advice for men and women today from long ago: Advice for Men from the 1900’s Don’t be gruff and rude at home. Had you been that sort of a fellow before marriage, the probabilities are that you would be sewing on your own buttons still. Don’t make your wife feel that she is an incumbrance on you by giving grudgingly. What she needs, give as cheerfully as if it were a pleasure to do so. She will feel better and so will you. Don’t meddle in the affairs of the home in her charge. You have no more right to be poking your nose into the kitchen than she has to walk into your place of business and give instructions to your employees. Don’t leave your wife at home to nurse the children, on the score of economy, while you bolt down town at night to see the show or spend a dollar on billiards. Don’t bolt your supper and hurry off to spend your evenings lounging around away from your wife. Before marriage you could not spend your evenings enough with her. Don’t prowl in the loafing resorts till midnight, wasting your time in culpable idleness, leaving your wife lonely at home to brood over your neglect and her disappointment. Don’t think that the woman you promised to “love, cherish and protect” becomes your servant as her part of the contract. Don’t think board and clothes is a sufficient return for all a wife does for you. Don’t expect your wife to love and honor you if you prove a brute unworthy of love or honor. Don’t caress your wife in public and snarl and growl at her in private.
