Description

"If wholesome advice you can brook,When single too long you have tarried;If comfort you'd gain from a book,When very much wedded and harried;No doubt you should speedily look,In 'How to be Happy though Married!'"—Punch."We strongly recommend this book as one of the best of wedding presents. It is a complete handbook to an earthly Paradise, and its author may be regarded as the Murray of Matrimony and the Baedeker of Bliss."—Pall Mall Gazette."The author has successfully accomplished a difficult task in writing a clever and practical book on the important subject of matrimony.... This book, which is at once entertaining and full of wise precepts, deserves to be widely read."—Morning Post."An entertaining volume.... The new guide to matrimonial felicity."—Standard, Leader."A clever, readable, and entertaining book.... This delicious book."—Literary Churchman."This most elucidatory treatise.... As a 'companion to the honeymoon,' this orange blossom, true-love-knot ornamented volume should no doubt be highly esteemed."—Whitehall Review."The book is tastefully got up, and its contents adapt it very well for a present to a young bride."—Queen."One of the cleverest, best written books on the subject we have read at any time. To girls contemplating marriage, the volume should be presented as a wedding gift.... Grave and gay, but never for a moment dull or tiresome. Each page sparkles with anecdote or suggestive illustration."—Ladies' Treasury."A highly ornamental yet handy, well printed, and admirably written volume."—The Lady."A rich store of entertaining anecdote, and full of thoughts beautiful, pious, and wise. Has a tasteful binding."—Bookseller.

Description

The Sims 2 is an incredible sequel to the best-selling PC game of all-time! You'll get to direct an entire Sims' lifetime, and try to get them to reach their goals in life. Will they have a long, successful and happy life - or will they end up poor and heartbroken?

The Sims was one of the most popular games ever made. In it, players micromanage the lives of a family of virtual people, or Sims, and influence their paths toward success or something akin to a nervous breakdown. Its open-ended blend of cartoonish behavior and everyday living is unique in an art form otherwise obsessed with carnage and sports. With The Sims 2, long-time fans now have a deeper game with lots of ways to customize and share their experiences. The game will also attract first-timers because the goal-oriented gameplay and the luridly fun starter families make it easier to get into the action right out of the box. Now Sims are born with the traits of their parents, families grow, and Sims grow old. The People in Your Neighborhood The game starts at the neighborhood level. Here you can create a housing development from scratch or start with one of three premade neighborhoods, each with its own theme. From there, you'll settle on a house and a family of Sims to control. Create your own Sim (above) or your own house (below) from scratch with advanced tools. Aside from the basic needs carried over from the previous game, Sims now have aspirations, wants, and fears. The wants and fears are the day-to-day things that occupy their minds, like wanting to see friends or get married and fearing death or being rejected for a kiss. Satisfy their wants, and they become more efficient at completing tasks you assign them. Realize their fears, and Sims become lethargic, cranky, and unresponsive to your commands. Aspirations are the big-picture things, like raising a family, becoming wealthy, and gaining knowledge. Succeed here and you'll be able to buy odd gifts for your Sim to improve his or her life, like a money tree that pays dividends or a "fountain of youth" water cooler. What Else Is New? Of course, you wouldn't be able to juggle all that if it weren't for the improved "Free Will" option, which makes it easier for Sims to fulfill their basic needs. The artificial intelligence of the game is noticeably improved; they won't turn on radios just as a family member is going to bed but, strangely, they do occasionally put their dishes on the floor. Another big change in the series is the concept of the lifespan. Now Sims are born with the traits of their parents, families grow, and Sims grow old. Not only does this go hand in hand with aspirations (growing up is the first aspiration that a baby Sim will have), it provides a limited time with which your Sims can achieve their goals. The Universal Control Panel helps you manage your Sim family. A Family Affair The Sims 2 not only lets you create just about any type of Sim in any type of family, build elaborate houses, and even create a neighborhood from scratch, but it also allows you to start the game in medias res, with premade households. These families all have backstories that are smart spoofs of soap-opera plots--lots of scheming, romance, ghosts, and family fighting. Parents of teens shouldn't worry, though, because nudity is tastefully blurred out and "woo-hoo" between Sims takes place completely under the covers. The ESRB has given this a Teen rating. If The Sims 2 were a film, it would likely land between PG and PG-13. The makers have included some nice tools to help share the universe you've created. For example, you can capture in-game stills and video to show friends the private moments, family interactions, and house parties of your Sims. You can even package a household to share as a blog or an album on a special Web site. The Sims 2 is for patient gamers. Like life itself, the game is filled with mundane details, like getting ready for work and doing dishes. The game also demands a level of creativity from its players that the run-and-gun game genres wouldn't know what to do with. But those who stick with it will be rewarded with an absorbing, amusing diversion and a virtual family history that they've created themselves. --Porter B.

Description

Warm and funny, this humorous quotation collection heeds advice from famous men and women who have taken the plunge into matrimony.

This collection also draws from antique marriage manuals, ranging from Saint Augustine’s fifth-century Excellence of Marriage to Anthony Cotterell’s The Expert Way of Getting Married (1939), adding historical wit and wisdom to this clever compendium.

Description

This volume, full of wisdom, was published in 1915.From the Preface:There was published some years ago an English book by a ''Graduate of the University of Matrimony", bearing the alarmingly suggestive title ''How to be Happy Though Married", a headliner not original with the author. An old English preacher named Skelton, first used it as a title for a sermon. The startling theme inculcates the important and frequently forgotten truth that domestic happiness does not come as a matter of course, but like everything else worth having, has to be worked for. The passages published in this booklet are picked at random from the author's lecture on the subject and are intended to advertise that lecture, which in its entirety would make quite a book. Lecture committees will find this sub- ject one which will attract attention, and the complete lecture as given before pop- ular audiences furnishes refined entertain- ment, while doing a vast amount of good. .........................................................................................Book Excerpts:There are three times as many divorces in the United States, with one hundred millions of people, as there are in all Eu- rope with more than four hundred mil- lions. Does this mean that there is less matrimonial felicity among us than in Europe ? The average European woman thinks that man may impose upon her by divine right. In many parts of Europe women are nothing more than beasts of burden, and are ruled in the spirit of the dark ages. Denied education, and completely subordinated to her husband, woman lives in fear of and in subjection to her lord and master. Our advancing civilization has en- larged woman's ideas, and with a better comprehension of her nature and rights, the average American woman would rather make her own way in the world than live a lie with a man for support. .........................................................................................Some Book Quotes:" If you take a husband just for the sake of having one, you may find him a morti- fying trophy and an inconvenient piece of property." " The Bible never said that it was not good for woman to be alone, because Grod knew many women would be better off alone." " He who marries for beauty alone is as silly as the man who bought a house be- cause he liked the flowers in the front yard." " A beautiful woman pleases the eye, a good woman wins the heart; the one is a jewel, the other a treasure."" Many a failure would have been avoid- ed if men had consulted with their wives." " The word wife means weaver and wives either weave men's fortunes, or, like moths, simply feed upon them. "
