The Ten Commandments for Wives

I was cleaning off my table and ran across the program from my grandfather's funeral. An entry contained within it piqued my attention and so I am sharing with you.

I wonder which of these my 21st Century sisters would change based on our current society?

I. Honor thy own womanhood that thy days may be long in the house which they husband provideth for thee.

II. Expect not thy husband to give thee as many luxuries as thy father hath given thee after many years of hard labor and changing economies.

III. Forget not the virtue of good humor, for verily all that a man hath will he give for a woman’s smile.

IV. Thou shalt not nag.

V. Thou shalt not coddle thy husband, for verily every man loveth to be fussed over.

VI. Remember that the frank approval of thy husband is worth more to thee than the sidelong glances of many strangers.

VII. Forget not the grace of cleanliness and dressing well.

VIII. Permit no one to assure thee that thou art having a hard time of it; neither thy mother, nor thy sister, nor thy maiden aunt, nor any of thy kin folk, for the judge will not hold her guiltless who letteth another disparage her husband.

IX. Keep thy home with all diligence, for out of it cometh the joys of thine old age.

X. Commit thy ways unto the Lord thy God and thy children shall rise up and call thee blessed.
