Don't For Future Reference

My big sis has these two books...they are strategically placed, I'm sure for her husband.

Anywho, I spent a good deal of time reading "Don'ts for Wives" this weekend. I'm not a wife yet, but hey, I can always prepare and learn now. Some of my favorites:

"Don't lose heart when life seems hard. Look forward to the corner you are bound to turn soon, and point it out to your husband."

"Don't be discontented and think your husband not 'manly' because he happens to be short and thing, and not very strong. Manliness is not a purely physical quality."

"Don't expect to know your husband inside and out within a month of marriage. For a long time you will be making discoveries; file them for future reference."

"Don't put on airs with your husband. If you can't be natural with you, you shouldn't have married him."

"Don't keep your sweetest smiles and your best manners for outsiders; let your husband come first."
