Sex Isn’t Everything
Tucson Dating & Marriage Advice Circa 1950

You will soon find that sex alone isn't everything in marriage. Being a gay companion can go a long way toward filling your wife with deep and lasting affection for you.

Be a Happy Talker

Remember that while you're out in the whirl and glit­ter of the business world, your wife is leading a life, which—while it may be restful and healthy—is often drab. Bring back to her what you can of your tinseled world of bright lights and nimble minds. She will cherish it. Think, as you return each evening, of the bons mots you have delivered during the day, the sparks you have struck against others.

Embroider freely. Chuckle brightly, summon a twinkle to your eye, and say:
"Well, we were sitting around B.K.'s office when who sashays in but his secretary, fried to the ears and whistling through her teeth."
(B.K.'s secretary is really 62 years old, teaches Sun­day school in Hackensack, and drinks one glass of sherry every Christmas, but no matter. You will find your wife is interested primarily in the peccadillos of the career girls in the office.)
"Drunk again, was she, Davie?"
"Sozzled! Well, we expect that, but this time she started taking her clothes off, right there!"
"What did B.K. say, David?"
"What could he say? After all, he started it. Well, to put in all the sordid details—"
A little story like this will cost you nothing, and is sure to bring sunshine into her life.

Take Her Out to Dinner

An occasional meal in a restaurant makes a woman feel loved and pampered. It need not be expensive if you plan it properly.

(a) Let her choose the place.
"You name it, Phoeb, any place at all!"
"Well, there's the Gold Club."
{Her first hasty choice will be the most expensive place in town.)
"Good. We'll go there."
{Never be niggardly. Halfway there, stop suddenly.)
"Oh, foolish of me. Gold Club's always closed on Tuesdays." (It is Tuesday.)
"Sure?"
"Positive. Joe tried to get in last week. Tell you what, though. Now that we're 'way out here, I know a little French place. Very intimate."
{And they have a table d'hote dinner for $10.75.)

(b) Surprise her.
If your wife becomes expansive at the sight of a menu, try this old continental trick. Select a good reliable place and order your dinner in advance. Be sure to select dishes that she likes, and ones that will fit your purse. She will never see a menu and will have surprise after surprise as the different courses come on.
"I'm not even going to tell you how much this all costs, but nothing is too good for my Phoeb!"

Share Your Hobbies with Her

It is a happy marriage indeed when the husband and wife do things together, sharing all their happy leisure hours. Be a pal to your wife. Take her with you for a round of golf. Though she may not want to help carry your clubs, a well-trained wife can be useful in finding lost balls and replacing turf. Aboard a sailboat a wife is invaluable, and often has a good time, too. She will keep the deck sparkling, the lines well coiled, and the jib sheets firmly cleated. You will be free to handle the tiller, pitting your mind against wind and tide.

Wives even make fine shooting companions. One patient husband, faced with a crisis in his kennels, found that his wife not only blended well with the underbrush, but also was able to hold a steady point for minutes at a time.
