Blanche Ebbutt Quotes

Don't forget to wish your husband good-morning when he sets off to the office. He will feel the lack of your good-bye kiss all day.

Don't allow yourself to get into the habit of dressing carelessly when there is 'only' your husband to see you. Depend upon it he has no use for faded tea-gowns and badly dressed hair, and he abhors the sight of curling pins as much as other men do. He is a man after all, and if his wife does not take the trouble to charm him, there are plenty of other women who will.

Don't brood; that way madness lies. Don't hesitate, if you catch yourself brooding, to 'take a day off' in the best way you can. Go out and gossip with your friend; get to a theatre where there is a play that will make you laugh; or try a concert or a cinema show - anything that will take you out of yourself. Take the brooding habit in time before it gets too strong a hold of you.

Don't expect to drop into matrimonial harmony with the end of the honeymoon, you have not thoroughly learned to know each other's foibles by that time.
