Remember this maxim: "A fool can win the love of a man, but it requires a woman of _resources_ to keep it"  the difficulty being much greater in a country like England, where the women are in the majority, than in another where they have to be fought for, and the men are the more numerous. REMEMBER THIS MAXIM A FOOL CAN WIN THE LOVE OF A MAN BUT IT REQUIRES A WOMAN OF RESOURCES TO KEEP IT THE DIFFICULTY BEING MUCH GREATER IN A COUNTRY LIKE ENGLAND WHERE THE WOMEN ARE IN THE MAJORITY THAN IN ANOTHER COUNTRY WHERE THEY HAVE TO BE FOUGHT FOR AND THE MEN ARE THE MORE NUMEROUS
professions you cannot take perhaps such active interest; but you must show him that at all events you can give him your sympathy and understanding, and make his home pleasant and agreeable when he returns to it. If you make it smooth and charming for him you may be as certain that he will prefer to spend all his spare time with you as that he will break away immediately if you do not. All human beings unconsciously in their leisure moments do what they _like best_. If you find a man in his free hours doing something which he obviously cannot like, it is because to _accomplish his duty_ is the thing he _likes best_. Thus, if you bore your husband in his leisure, he may stay with you for a while from a sense of duty, but he will begin to make excuses of work to curtail the moments, and he will snatch time from his real work for his pleasure elsewhere. Whether you keep your husband’s love and devotion lies almost entirely with yourself and your own intelligence, and I might say sagacity!
