Blanche Ebbutt

Step back into Edwardian England with this delightfully witty and enduring guide to marriage. Originally published in 1913, Don'ts for Husbands by Blanche Ebbutt offers a pocket-sized treasury of marital wisdom and domestic diplomacy.​

Whether quaintly outdated or surprisingly relevant, the advice within provides a fascinating glimpse into the social norms of the past—and more than a few nuggets of timeless truth.​

In this audiobook, you'll discover guidance on:

 • Being your wife's best friend, not just her husband
 • Knowing when not to have the last word
 • Why slouching and shirt-sleeves at breakfast might not impress
 • Balancing humor and household habits
 • What to never throw into the decorative water bowl

Ebbutt’s voice remains charmingly sharp, often humorous, and—at times—surprisingly progressive. Whether you're a newlywed, celebrating an anniversary, or curious about how marriage advice has evolved (or hasn't!), this book is a little time machine that will entertain, amuse, and occasionally enlighten.

For a complete experience, consider pairing this audiobook with its companion, Don'ts for Wives by Blanche Ebbutt.Together, they offer a charming and humorous look at marital advice from the early 20th century.
