Commonlit: Advice to the newly married lady

enyata [817]

Answer and Explanation:

"Advice to the Newly Married Lady" was written by Samuel K. Jennings (1771–1854). He offers pieces of advice to women as to help them secure happiness in their marriages. According to Jennings, while a man has other sources of happiness and fun, a woman only has her house and husband to look forward to, which is why she should make great effort to please her man:

His engagements as a man, will necessarily keep up his attention. He will have frequent occasion to mix with agreeable and interesting company. [...] He of course will have an asylum, should home become tiresome or disagreeable. But your house is your only refuge, your husband your only companion. Should he abandon you, solitude, anxiety and tears, must be your unhappy lot.

Jennings goes on to say the woman should be completely submissive and obedient to her husband. She should try her best to stay on his good side, for he is superior by nature. She must also learn what his personality is like in order to know how to better behave in order to make him happy:

1. As it is your great wish and interest to enjoy much of your husband’s company and conversation, it will be important to acquaint yourself with his temper, his inclination, and his manner, that you may render your house, your person and your disposition quite agreeable to him. [...]

2. [...] Again, nature has made man the stronger, the consent of mankind has given him superiority over his wife, his inclination is, to claim his natural and acquired rights…

3. In obedience then to this precept of the gospel [“Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord”], to the laws of custom and of nature, you ought to cultivate a cheerful and happy submission.
