If a husband or man wants his wife to be respectful and loving to him, he
should be respectful and loving to her. A husband who treats his wife well is
likely to be treated well in return.

In its more general application this means that everyone responds to good
treatment by his fellows.

> ‘Don’t blame your wife for being short-tempered with you; you’ve been so
unpleasant to her lately. A good husband makes a good wife.’
