In 1894, Ruth Smythers, beloved wife of The Reverend L. D. Smythers, wrote these heartfelt words of advice for young brides entering into marriage:

"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. This little book is:

- Accompanied by amusing engravings from the period
- Filled with Victorian wisdom, which may be more timeless than it first appears!
