As regards the intercourse of marriage, wives should neither importune their husbands, nor be restless in their absence; but a man should accustom his wife to be content whether he is at home or away. Good also is the advice of Hesiod:

Take thee a maiden to wife, and teach her ways of discretion.
Hes. WD 699 For differences of ways and habits are little conducive to affection.

As regards adornment: it is not well

20
that souls should approach one another in borrowed plumes, nor is it well in the case of bodies. Intercourse which depends 〈for its charm〉 upon outward adornment differs in no respect from that of figures on the stage in their conventional attire.
