A husband who submits to his wife's yoke is justly held an object of ridicule. A woman's influence ought to be entirely concealed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The wife's submission is not a matter of superior versus inferior; rather, it is self-imposed as a matter of obedience to the Lord and of love for her husband.
The foolish and cruel notion that a wife is to obey her husband has sent more women to the grave than to the courts for a divorce.
The woman who can't influence her husband to vote the way she wants ought to be ashamed of herself.
The big rule is that you must never get mixed up with a married man - never even look sideways at another woman's fella. Boy, I really was terrific at obeying that rule, wasn't I?
Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.
If any difference should be made by law between husband and wife, reason, justice and humanity, if their voices were heard, would dictate that it should be in her favor.
When a man makes a woman his wife, it's the highest compliment he can pay her, and it's usually the last.
I have noticed... that men usually leave married women alone and are inclined to treat all wives with respect. This is no great credit to married women.
I don't think a man should try to suppress a woman just because he's married to her.
Some husbands regard it as their prerogative to compel their wives to fit their standards of what they think to be the ideal.
