New Thought Common Sense

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought media from Abrahamic to Vedic reflecting the ongoing evolution of human thought. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy contrasts with 'old thought' Religion. Today's 'New Thought 3.0' teaches personal responsibility, self-development, human rights and compassionate action as essential spiritual paradigms." ~ Avalon de Rossett

certain to set his sail for that port with the same anticipation with which the mariner seeks his own harbor after a stormy voyage.

Of course we must make allowances for the occasional lawless and drunken mariner who sends his ship on the rocks, and the worthless husband who does not appreciate life's best gifts.

There are men who no woman on God's earth could keep loyal or honest, but they are exceptions.

Be clean, neat and coquettish in your dress at home and in the privacy of your rooms with your husband. Never let him see you in soiled or careless garments, and let him realize, tactfully, that you expect the same refinements from him. Nothing is commonplace in the daily associations of life to two beings who love each other, if they do not allow themselves to fall into vulgarities.

Mystery, romance and charm can hang forever about the wife, as well as about the mistress, if the wife so chooses. The husband can always, at every approach, be the Prince Charming to anchor the enchanted Princess with his first kiss, if he is skilled enough in love's arts and refined enough to wish to keep the interesting role.

And in all love's ways man is much given to following woman's lead.

If you possess no independent income of your own, have an understanding during your honeymoon in regard to money matters.

Ask for an allowance to be set apart for your use, in order that no humiliating and indelicate discussions need ever occur between you on this subject. Then study to be economical and thrifty and wise in your use of your allowance.
