About
Step back into Edwardian England with this delightfully witty and enduring guide to marriage. Originally published in 1913, Don'ts for Husbands by Blanche Ebbutt offers a pocket-sized treasury of marital wisdom and domestic diplomacy.

• Being your wife's best friend, not just her husband
• Knowing when not to have the last word
• Why slouching and shirt-sleeves at breakfast might not impress
• Balancing humor and household habits
• What to never throw into the decorative water bowl
Ebbutt's voice remains charmingly sharp, often humorous, and-at times-surprisingly progressive. Whether you're a newlywed, celebrating an anniversary, or curious about how marriage advice has evolved (or hasn't!), this book is a little time machine that will entertain, amuse, and occasionally enlighten.
For a complete experience, consider pairing this audiobook with its companion, Don'ts for Wives by Blanche Ebbutt.Together, they offer a charming and humorous look at marital advice from the early 20th century.
