Don'ts for Wives

I bought these a few times for wedding gifts. The outdated advice is still applicable in a lot of ways and fun to read!

These small books are fun! The old fashioned advice is still true today. You need to buy The Advice For Husbands, also. They’re priceless to read together.

Cute and hilarious gift for any one. Honestly some good tips if you’re not a feminist.

These are tiny little books that are fun to read through. The advice is (supposedly) from 1913 which makes it obviously outdated although some is surprisingly timeless.

This is a really small book. It is full of big things to keep in mind in a relationship though. My husband thought it was going to say things like "Make your husband a sandwich when he's hungry," and other sorts of anti feminist things. It takes a lot from the bible and other well known sources of marriage help. I recommend it to all wives. It helps keep me in check when I expect too much from my husband. It's helped with some issues and serves as a reminder marriage is not 50/50, it's 100/100, because if both of you are not all in, marriage is bound to fail.

For the last few years, every time a niece or nephew (or any millennial member of my family) gets married, I always give them these two books (for both the new wife and husband). It’s an adorable little gift that they all get a giggle over, and ironically enough, has some pretty sound advice. It may come across as outdated, but at the heart of these little books is advice that all humans can use regardless of what stage they are in their relationship status.

This should be required reading for graduation. Our modern way of life does not work - divorce rates are ridiculously high and people are in unhappy in marriages. This book is the cure for the sick modern ideology that is taught today. No, it's not old fashioned, rather, the ideas and rules in this book are timeless, particularly if you want to actually stay married.

Purchased this as part of a wedding gift for a friend. The book is very small. Like pocket size. But cute as a button. She read one random page and laughed out loud. Very unique gift. Got one for her and him.
