We shall return, Madam, in this corner, to speak to you of your marital happiness. What is it that troubles this happiness for you and leaves you in a state of anxiety and unrest, your imagination painting phantom pictures that rob you of your sleep and turn you into an ordinary creature stripped of her femininity, the softness of her temper, and the contentment of her character—thus losing the fairest adornment a lady can wear?
Let us search together for the cause of this upheaval in your temper: why do you treat your husband as though he were your
rival, opposing him in every opinion he offers, rising up against his theories in the attempt to demolish them, and making it your business to appear before him in the guise of the superior—as though you disdained to acknowledge his superiority over you, even in his own field?!
It is fine, Madam, for you to be ambitious, eager to improve your personality and keep it abreast of the spirit of the age in which you live; and fine for you to strive that your person should hold the standing that raises your worth and, in consequence, strengthens your place in your family and in
your society. But beware, Madam, of turning fierce before your husband, and in your personal treatment of him, trying to resist him and to lower his morale. You are his partner; you cooperate with him in life; you work hard to strengthen the spiritual unity of the family, without which complete happiness cannot come into harmony...
The virtuous wife is she who melts her own personality to make of her family a spiritual unity, and works behind the curtain to raise her husband's morale and spur him on to virtue... And how many a great work would never have won through but for the wife's smile and her encouraging word...
