From 1877: Advice For A Happy Marriage!!

Here's some advice from the 1877 Almanac archives:

How to Make Your Husband Happy

• Never speak slightingly of or to your husband in the presence of other people.
• Do not neglect neatness of person and surroundings.
• Speak gently always, and do not allow your voice to become sharp and loud.

How to Make Your Wife Happy

• Treat your wife as politely and kindly as when you were wooing her.
• Do not speak lightly of her cares and fatigues, but sympathize with her troubles.
• Share your pleasures and cares, and show that you value her society and advice.

Our favorite saying: "For a happy marriage, never speak loudly to one another unless the house is on fire."
