So we’ve been posting all these excerpts from the reprints of How to be a Good Husband and How to be a Good Wife for your amusement (and, perhaps, education?). Although the manuals, written in the 1930s, seemed reasonably progressive for their time (“Don’t pose as a weak little thing,” Good Wife admonishes), they certainly don’t cover most of the issues germane to a romantic entanglement in 2008. But, thanks to your comments, we’ve been collecting some suggestions for good spousedom in the 21st century! Like: “Let her win at Guitar Hero sometimes, but not all the time,” and “Don’t expect a backrub to turn into sex. Just give her a backrub with no agenda once in a while”.
