Description

This pocket handbook of matrimonial guidance brings together wisdom imparted to newlyweds down the ages. From the advice of Ancient Greek philosophers (e.g. keep your wife under control by stealing her shoes - she will never leave the house) to Edwardian musings on appropriate behaviour in the marital bed and beyond, this gift-book offers a fascinating and humorous survey of the pleasures and pains of married life.
