Benjamin Wadsworth, A Well-Ordered Family(Boston, 1712).
The passage was about Marriage In the colonies, How to treat your spouse. It talked about how you should love your husband/wife indefinitly. If they wernt young or beautiful enough it shouldnt matter you should still love them.
The part that surprised me the most was the paragraph about how the husband should govern the wife, for it was his job. his government should be gentle and paitent, and the wife's obedience ready and cheerful."The husband is the head of the woman. It belongs to the head to rule and govern. Wives are part of the house and family, and ought to be under the husband's government"
From then to now, Of course life is diffrent. I consider this to be a silly question.

Ok. What do you think about the quote? Of course life is different now and it might seem like a silly question, but discuss what you think about our society in comparison with colonial society.
Ok post, but could use some work. Some small errors and need more elaboration on your part.
As is you earned 21/30 points.
