Oh, I doubt that, Dave. They used to publish books akin to guidelines
on how to be a good wife. Way before this little thing was published.
And it was always about what the wife should do to *keep* her man.

Many years later there was a book espousing the same concept. Do any of
you recall a booked titled 'The Complete Woman'? By Maribel Morgan...
1970's, IIRC. Here's a quote from her book:

"She needed to accept him and to *change herself* to make him and
herself happy. Morgan once wrote, "It's only when a woman *surrenders*
her life to her husband, reveres and worships him and is willing to
serve him, that she becomes really beautiful to him. She becomes a
priceless jewel, the glory of femininity, his queen!"

What a load of horsecrap. Might as well chain her up in the basement and
only let her out to do the cooking.
