How To Be A Good Wife: Its All About The Little Things - Paperback

by Oyetayo Olamide Oyerogba (Author)

Marriage can be a hilarious series of misunderstandings, a power struggle, or a diplomatic nightmare. Men and women have long struggled to understand each other-and the misunderstandings can last long after they're married. Long before Men Are From Mars, and Women Are From Venus, couples relied on self-help books like How to Be a Good Wife, which is now delightfully reproduced by Oyerogba Oyetayo Olamide.

Some advice is undeniably out of date, such as "A wife must look her best." If you don't tidy yourself up, don't be surprised if your husband begins to compare you unfavorably with the typist at the office"-but many other pieces of advice are wholly applicable today.

A woman has wonderful intuition for spotting even minor departures from the truth"; "After all is said and done, husbands are not terribly difficult to manage"; or "Don't squeeze the tube of toothpaste from the top instead of from the bottom. This is one of the small things of life that always irritates a careful wife."
