What do you think of these tips for being a good husband/wife? Are they a bit outdated or surprisingly practical/forward thinking?

It's funny.

I'm glad I don't live in those times.

"Don?t sharpen pencils all over the house as you walk about. Try a hearth or a waste-paper basket, or a newspaper. It does not improve either carpets or the servants? temper to find scraps of pencil-sharpenings all over the floors".

My marriage has survived purely because of this tip.

"Don?t take the attitude that wives, like children, should be seen and not heard. No doubt you are a very clever fellow, and it is an education for her to listen to you, but she may also have some views worth mentioning."

spend half my life shouting "CAN I get a word in please?!!!" Xmas Grin

I also like "Don?t check your husband?s high spirits. Let him sing at the top of his voice in the bathroom, or whistle out of tune on the stairs, and be thankful for a cheerful man about the house." My DP makes a right racket, but I am genuinely thankful for a cheerful man about the house.

Don?t let him have to search the house for you. Listen for his latch-key and meet him on the threshold.

Grin though Hmm but still Grin
