A good husband makes a good wife. A gracious disposition in the one influences the other, and little faults are almost insensibly cured. The proverb is equally true in reference to the wife, but she has harder material to work upon, and sometimes she fails to make her husband what he should be. A rich man may make a poor husband. Better to have a treasure in the man, than with the man.
Wise men pass a dressy lass.
An obedient wife commands her husband. By her love the good man is conquered, so that he delights to give her pleasure. The house is the woman's dominion, and her husband should let her reign, saying, Only in the throne will I be greater than you. He will be wise seldom to sit on that throne. Buttons all right are husbands delight.
