Marriage Quote

Mathew Carey wrote in the early 1800s that in his opinion men should always
treat their wives as equals, but today’s feminists would shudder at much of
his advice. He recommends that a woman should “study to discover means to
gratify [her husband’s] inclinations” in her cooking, her dress, and her manners,
and that she should “never attempt to rule, or appear to rule her husband.” Carey (1760-1839)
