Tell her occasionally that you love her. She knows it, but she likes to hear it. She can't always take it for granted. Start in the way you want to continue. Particularly in affairs of the purse. Never humiliate her by making her ask for money. Have a definite understanding at first. Money brings the discord that causes most family bells to jangle out of tune. Be thoughtful in little things.

She may develop new power and grace with the knowledge. Learn to bear with her occasional tears. Men must work and women must weep. Don't embarrass her by adverse criticism of any kind before people. Make it a curtain lectin's if it must be. Don't forget to kiss her good-bye. MakA her feel that she is the only woman you have ever loved.
