Men as Husbands.
A Glimpse of our Domestic Life.
Without reference lo St. Paul,
who commanded wives to obey iheir
husbands, or to the ancient marriage
ceremony of the Egyptians which
demanded a promise of obedience
from the husband to the wife, in
stead of the reverse, the present
every-day relations of men to women
in the marital stale aie of so great
imporunffi that nothing can be
greater, and yet do H<H ro oo» v a fY*OfT)
men a lithe of the thought and hon
est attention the subject demands.
There is a common-sense justice
that ought to govern the relations of
human beings, that has both sub
stance aud essence in the “Golden
Rule,” and is as high above all civil
and legal enactments as heaven is
above earth. That this beautiful
and perfect law of relation as cloth
ed in words by Confucius, and af
terward revised and incorporated
into the Christian religion by Christ,
does not rule in the matriage stale,
is without doubt due to the unequal
estimation held by the parties in re
gard to each other.
That husbands, as a rule, do
iheir wives intentional injustice, 1 do
not for a moment believe, but that
wives suffer immeasurably from in
justice born of heediessness, of
thoughtlessness, and a lack ol heart-
fulness, I know to be only too true,
if the knowledge that comes from
unprejudiced observation and the
unsought and voluntary confidences
of many a wife are to be relied up
on. Oue is not to infer from this
that married women are given to
turning their hearts out like a pocket
and unfolding their wedded rela
tions—the most sacred of all—to the
gaze and criticism of even very dear
friends. The reverse of this is the
rule. But there are scores of con
fidences which are “escapes” rather
than positive confessions, that are
fotever revealing to us a great deal
more of dissatisfaction than we want
to know about. It is a wifely
“weakness” to endeavor to conceal
the husband’s faults; to manufacture
excuses for his shortcoming?; and
try and cheat herself into believing
she is all in all to him, when every
indication points to the reverse; in
short, she fancies, somehow, that
she was born to be his moral and
spiritual waterproof. The records
are full of women clinging to hus
bands who are worse than beasts,
while many a widow wears the
mournfullest of black, and observes
with dreadful solemnity the anniver
sary day of the death of a husband
who was a brute, and whose life
seemed specially devoted to making
her miserable. These things sim
ply illustrate the fool a woman will
make of herself when governed by
idiotic but customary notions of
duty.
That women are not alone in see
ing and feeling the “fatal lack” of
husbands, 1 bring in proof this ex
tract from a gentleman’s letter to me
hoping the violation of the confidence
may find pardon in the end to be
subserved: “I find it hard to believe
that intelligent, honorable men do
so invariably look down upon their
wives and hold them in ‘subjection.’
Yet I can not be in a family circle
half an hour without, in most cases,
seeing evidence of it in snubs, or
wotse yet, in that kind of complais
ance which is a fiction of the tirst
water. It seems to me that a man
of decent pride and self-respect
would loathe the idea ol marrying an
‘inferior.’ Even the human fondness
for using or abusing power would be
no temptation to give oneself utterly
to a person whom it was possible to
look down upon. I suppose that
men do iook up, or think they do, in
courtship, but have so little knowl
edge either of their sweethearts or
themselves, that after marriage they
make disappointment an excuse for
selfishness.”
In that final word “selfishness”
he struck a key-note. That women
were born entirely for the use of
men; that the success or value of
their existence is proportioned en
tirely to their help and value to men,
seems to be an ineradicable idea
among husbands. But that men
owe just as much to women; that the
husband’s relation lo the wife is a
compensatory and mutual one, and in
no respect a one-sided affair, is a
truth that seems to be ever falling by
the wayside, as it so seldom if ever
finds lodgment in the hearts of
men.
Not long since a prominent New
York journal made record ofa wife’s
servitude in a foreign land; enlarged
upon her care tor her husband; do
led upon her attention to him when
he would come home drunk; com
mended her infinite care in screening
him from well-merited justice by
suffering in his stead; detailed at
length incidents illustrating her self-
denying qualities, her meekness un
der insult, her sweetness under bru
tal treatment, and above all her mod-
esty her “true, noble, womanly
modesty” which would never admit
ot her being the recipient of anything
pleasant, when it was possible for
her husband to receive it in her
stead. This sanctimonious journal
published the account with the add
ed regrets that these faithful, unsel
fish wives were now only a memory
of the past, and that the women ot
the present day no longer practiced
those self-denying virtues that so a-
dorned the sex, but were constantly
striving to augment ihpimwn hanni
ness and importance f How strange
a d awful!
We all know how sweet and good
it is to deny ourselves for the sake of
those we love; to suffer in iheir stead;
lo minister to their happiness; to
shield their faults. Then we also
know how biller, how hard, how cruel
it is, to do all this and receive lor
compensation neither smile of appre
ciation, nor a word of approval; only
a cold, careless exterior, and a man
ner demanding and expecting all
these things from the right of superi
ority!
Many husbands seem to think—4f
they once stop to think at all—that
what to them would undoubtedly be
distasteful and unjust will not be re
garded by their wives as such, be
cause they are women. This is a fa
tal mistake. What hurts a man
hurls a woman all the same, only
more. The deprivation of enjoyments
no matter of what kind or degree, is
as keenly felt by women as by men.
A wife needs loving demonstration,
honest regard, and thorough re
spect from her husband just as much
as he needs the same from her; and
more even, for her range of employ
ment is more limited. What is
more, no wife can thrive in heart, in
mind, and in body without it. If a
man wants the best wife in the world
he must be to her the best husband.
And in order to be to her the best
husband, he must place himself in
her place—imagine the exchange of
personality a dozen times a day if
need be-so he may know how to act.
How few husbands can look back
over this single, solitary day per
haps, and after diligent introspection
truthfully say, “I have been to my
wife this day just what I would have
her be to me, if I were she instead.”
You may try lo soothe your con
science and justify matters by say
ing, “Oh, well! women haven’t been
used to these things, and they don’t
expect them.” Oh, but, sir, they do
expeet them. They have a born
right to, and need of them equal jvilh
yourself. Every girl born into this
world comes into it with a soul and
heart as full of fresh need and love
and right as did Eve. She does not
inherit a preparation for injustice be
cause her foremothers may happen to
have had it for six or sixty thousand
years.
If girls didn’t have men for their fa
thers, it is possible they might be
born with natural propensities foe
“subjection.” But now a man in
expecting submission and obedience
from his wife is oftimes made aware
of the fact that he is simply walking
rough-shod over the natural-born
rights of his high-bred old father-in-
law, manifested in a temple more
refined and delicate aud sensitive.
What then ?
But aside from the “odious” help
of sharing toil, the cares of the
household and children, there is the
help of development. Many wo
men have less education from books
and the world than have their hus
bands ; and is it not the duty of the
latter to aid their wives in making
up the deficiency ? As a mere mat
ter of selfishness, men should do it.
The compensation would more than
cancel the task, it it could be class
ed among tasks.
Some one has said that a “family
man” has no right to be off evenings ;
neither has he a right to demand a
style of housekeeping which will
make it necessary for the wife to do
nothing but attend to purely domes
tic affairs, which would be a great
“affliction” to men who regard the
gratification of their especial stom
achs of more moment than the thri
vmg graces of a wife’s mind and
heart. As domestic partnership is
new mostly conducted, the man
starts ahead of the woman, or if even
with her he soon gets ahead and
keeps ahead. Burdens come upon
her which he can not or will not
share, often u|>ou the *I-ara-holier-
than-thou” principle. Business swal-
lows him up, or keeps hirn socially
so far removed from hi3 wire that
she almost forgets she has a husband.
She is either thrown back upon her
self for companionship, or accepts
it from outside sources, which are
not always safe or best.
A great deal of nonsense has been
talked and written about the happi
ness of the home depending upon
the wife. Just as much depends
upon the man, and indeed more,.
when be assumes or demands the
super-balance of power. Home is
where women thrive or perish; and
that it be a garden of love and sun
shine, or a desert of ill-winds, and
barren of love and sympathy, de
pends upon the husband more than
be may at first imagine. He stamps
domestic life with its vital, charac
teristic principle. To suppose that
the reflection or utilization of this
principle will be more beautiful and
worthy than the prototype is to ex
pect figs to grow on thistles.
If all marriage bonds were inscrib
ed wiih the “Golden Rule” for an
inflexible law, would there not be
^ “ 'B«nord ?
Would not at least civil courtesy a-
bound among married people as well
as among mere friends ?
Do husbands over consider how
supremely, disgustingly hateful it is
to a wife to be treated, held, and
considered like a child ; to f»e en
trusted with no dignified trust; to
have money doled out in certain a-
mounts; to be held accountable for
every expenditure made; to be al
ways obliged to defer to the hus
band's sense of propriety and expe
diency; to regard her just rights as
a husband's kind and loving indul
gence to be consulted simply for
the sake if appearance; to be the
recipient of smiles and courtesies
before strangers, and just the reverse
when alone; to feel that she is sup
ported by her husband, like a fine
carriage horse; to carry the baby
while he trots on ahead ; to mend
his stockings while he smokes in her
face and reads lo himself; to stay at
home while be goes abroad; to be
my dear” and “my loved” only
when he wants something he never
deserves; to never know the stale of
their mutual finances; if a working
woman to cary wood and water,
while be leans by the hour over a
gate post talking politics ; to be up
night after night with sick children,
while be sleeps as sound as a brick;
to be ignored when the homestead is
sold ; to be hungry for sympathetic
companionship; for tender, loving
caresses as of the courtship days;
for hearty expressed appreciation,
but never getting these; to hear a
hundred times a year, “My wife, my
darling, God bless yon!” and never
hearing it t Ah, well! the catalogue
is too long. The remainder siauds
in long columns in your own soul, it
you will only open it and look in.
Think what li f e would be to you
without the woman you love best—
without her who gave you a foretaste
of heaven—without her whose all-
sacrificing love is the highest expo
nent of Divine Love—without your
wife—the mother of your children,
whose precious life has been once
and again and again placed in the
very jaws of death, all for love ot
you, and then ask yourself if you
love this loving, self-sacrificing soul
even as you love yourself.
