As to the presents of affection mutually exchanged between the husband and herself there is no fixed rule about them.
If she leaves her husband after marriage of her own accord, she should restore to him whatever he may have given her, with the exception of the mutual presents.
If however she is driven out of the house by her husband she should not return anything to him. After her marriage she should live in the house of her husband like one of the chief members of the family, but should treat the other ladies of the family with kindness, the servants with generosity, and all the friends of the house with familiarity and good temper.
She should show that she is better acquainted with the sixty-four arts than the other ladies of the house, and in any quarrels with her husband she should not rebuke him severely, but in private do everything that he wishes, and make use of the sixty-four ways of enjoyment.
