HOW TO PRESERVE A HUSBAND
Be careful in the selection. Do not choose too ripe or too old. Best results if he has been reared in a healthy atmosphere. Some insist on keeping him in a pickle, others prefer to keep him in hot water, such treatment may make husband sour, hard and sometimes bitter. Many housewives have found that even poor varieties can be rendered tender and good by a garnish of patience, the sweetening of a smile, and the flavouring of a kiss to taste. Wrap him in a mantle of charity, place him over a warm steady fire of domestic devotion and serve with peaches and cream!
When thus preserved a husband will keep for years!

Ruby,
Good advice! By God’s grace, I’ve kept mine for almost 33 years.

“The heart of her husband safely trusts her”, we read at he end of Proverbs.
Since my husband has dementia now, he trusts me for a lot and we are adjusting to our senior years. If we did not have a loving relationship, facing dementia would be so much worse.

Thanks Ruby. It’s been a slow learning process and sometimes a painful one, but the Lord has blessed us richly.

Carol, How blessed you are to have that. May God uphold you both.
