Gift For Her

This book deals with people’s domestic life. Since one’s domestic happiness has a direct bearing on one’s happiness outside the home, we advise that the contents of this book should be read with great earnestness and that the failings cautioned against should be avoided. Although these failings may result from immaturity and inexperience, they are nevertheless extremely harmful. One should read this book with the intention of reforming oneself. One will be able to avoid these failings if one reads this book with the following advice in mind: 1. Make this book a means of my guidance and make me the delight of my husband’s eyes and make me his most valuable asset.” 2. Set aside such time for reading this book, which is free from disturbances and worries, because a mind that is preoccupied with other concerns will soon become weary with the subject matter of any book. 3. An important piece of advice is that this book should be read in sequence from cover to cover, even though this may take months. In fact, one should never grow despondent, even if it takes longer than a few months. An easy way to ensure that one completes the book is to calculate a specific number of pages that one will read daily, based on the total number of pages in the book. A bookmark should always be used to mark the page where one stops. 4. Another extremely important piece of advice is that one should keep a pencil handy to mark places that mention something especially pertinent to one. These parts should be read many times and to grant one the ability to practise accordingly. Another benefit of keeping a pencil handy is that when reading, it may occur to one that some subject matter which may satisfy the thirst of some religious sister has not been included in this book. It may be that this subject pertains to a woman’s life as a spiritual woman or as a wife or as a mother, or it may even be something that could terminate disputes. Should such a thought occur to one, one should make a note of it under the heading of “Clarification” and bring it to the attention of the publisher or the compiler, specifying the page number and line number where it is to be added. While reading the book, one should create love and affection between all married couples and that they all rear pious children. Together with reading this book and progressing spiritually and morally, one should also pass this advice on to other women.
