A Quote by Margaret Cavendish

I think a bad husband is far worse than no husband. — © Margaret Cavendish
I think a bad husband is far worse than no husband.
I think it is worse to be poor in mind than in purse, to be stunted and belittled in soul, made a coward, made a liar, made mean and slavish, accustomed to fawn and prevaricate, and "manage" by base arts a husband or a father,--I think this is worse than to be kicked with hobnailed shoes.
My husband has spent more time with our children than I have. I don't think they're better or worse off.
For someone to say that marriage is only about procreation is a joke. I didn't marry my husband to have children. I married my husband because I love my husband.
The unhappiness of a wife with a good husband is much more devastating than the unhappiness of a wife with a bad husband.
No worse a husband than the best of men.
The Lord commands the wife to be submissive. Refusal to submit to the husband is therefore rebellion against God Himself. Submission to the husband is a test of her love for God as well as a test of love for her husband. The wife then must look upon her submission to her husband as an act of obedience to Christ and not merely to her husband.
I don't think my husband's work depends on what I say and what I do. My husband stands on his own two feet.
I never ever, ever say anything against my husband to anyone except my husband. Everyone gets in fights, and I think the natural propensity for women is, 'Oh I want to talk to someone.' But the minute you take what bothers you outside the bond between you and your husband, you let someone else into the relationship and that causes a wedge.
The hood-winked husband shows his anger, and the word jealous is flung in his face. Jealous husband equals betrayed husband. And there are women who look upon jealousy as synonymous with impotence, so that the betrayed husband can only shut his eyes, powerless in the face of such accusations.
Seriously, I do not think that a marriage can be successful in which either the husband or the wife is far more intelligent than the other.
I think that, generally, a woman brings in luck for her husband after marriage, but in my case, my husband is lucky for me.
I think I'm a better doctor than I am a husband. I give myself a good grade as a doctor, then the next best grade as a father, and the worst grade as a husband.
I don't think there's any intrinsic difference between a lover and a husband. ... If I were cynical, I would say that a woman should have both a good husband and a lover. But I'm not cynical so I'll just say that a woman should have a lover who's a good husband and a husband who's a good lover, perhaps both.
Oh, of course there's a risk in marrying anybody, but, when it's all said and done, there's many a worse thing than a husband.
I just wish, when neither of us has written to my husband's mother, I didn't feel so much worse about it than he does.
If we're honest, most of us would accept that a bad boss is a little bit like a bad father or a bad husband ... you find that he tends to do more good than harm. He might be a bad boss but at least he's employing someone while he is in fact a boss.
