You can still buy the book, https://www.amazon.com.au/Donts-Wives-Blanche-Ebbutt/dp/0713687908 Hundreds of tips and rules, eg Rules for Husbands DO be your wife's best friend. Treat her as an equal partner rather than just a subordinate. DON'T keep your wife in the dark about finances or business interests. DON'T insist on having the last word. Wise men know when to drop an argument. DON'T sneer at your wife's cooking, household management, or hobbies. DON'T forget to show physical affection, such as a morning or evening kiss. 👰 Rules for Wives DO be cheerful, tidy, and welcoming. Wives were urged to keep an attractive home environment. DON'T nag or constantly complain when your husband returns home from a long day at work. DON'T impose your personal taste onto your husband, or try to change his personality. DON'T dwell on minor flaws or expect him to be "as neat as a new pin". DON'T catastrophize if your partner is late coming home; assume he simply missed the train or was running an errand.
