Ancient Instructions from Ptahhotep:

Love your wife ardently
feed her and clothe her
frangrant unguents are good for her body
Make her happy all her days:
for she is like the field that brings benefit
to its owner.

Instructions from Ani:

Do not check on your wife in her house
when you know that she is competent
Don not say, "Where is this thing? Fetch it!"
when she has already put it in the right place.

OH, if only men would listen today.......*sigh*
