In 1894, Ruth Smythers, 'Beloved wife of The Reverend L. D. Smythers', wrote: 'One cardinal rule of marriage should never be forgotten: give little, give seldom and, above all, give grudgingly.' The Methodist wife didn't intend to be amusing, but this brief treatise written for young brides is side-splitting today and an eye-opener to how our love lives have changed in just over a century. SELLING POINTS: * This book is a highly successful Summersdale title, and has previously sold over 146,000 copies. * Will appeal to all those who bought 'Don'ts for Husbands 1913' and 'Don'ts for Wives 1913'. Includes extra illustrations for the new edition. The perfect present for a bride- or groom-to-be, or a cheeky anniversary gift.
