If your husband has whims, harmless whims, such as wanting his meals at certain hours promptly, or wanting you to be ready on time when you are going out, make every effort to gratify him.

Be willing to sacrifice yourself to some extent to do this, but if you do as he wishes eight times without any word of approval from him and fail twice, and he is irritable in consequence, remind him gently of his lack of reasonableness and tell him that you need encouragement for your good deeds as well as reproofs for your shortcomings.
