My Mom sent me a cute book the other day: 101 Ways to Date Your Mate. On page 124 and 125 of the said book it has the rules of love book 1, from De Arte Honesti Amandi by Andreas Capellanus. I thought they were fun and wanted to share them here, on my blog.
1. Flee from avarice like a noxious plague, and embrace its opposite.
2. You must keep yourself chaste for your beloved's sake.
3. You must not deliberately try to break up a love affair between a woman suitably joined to another man.
4. Take care not to chose for your love a person whom a natural sense of shame would prohibit you from marrying.
5. At all cost, take care to avoid lies.
It goes on and on. Hilarious. This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.
