Unearth Victorian marital wisdom in this comical 1894 guide to intimacy. Ruth Smythers, wife of Reverend L. D. Smythers, penned advice that, while earnest then, is uproarious today. Her counsel, like “give little, give seldom, and give grudgingly,” offers a revealing glimpse into changing love lives over a century. This book, adorned with period engravings, blends Victorian absurdity with potentially timeless insights. Whether for a saucy gift or cheeky anniversary present, it entertains and informs couples with its amusing take on marital wisdom from days gone by.
