    Do the math, one husband, many wives, and one main bed. How does this special time and place get divided up? “Sleeping hours” are previously “booked” by the wives.

In addition, sometimes, claims Joseph, “with the demands of career and the literal chasing after the needs of a toddler, all I want to do is collapse into bed and sleep” (770).

    The bond between a husband and wife can be so strong sometimes and the two stories To My Dear Loving Husband and Major Sullivan Ballou’s Last Letter show how much each spouse loves each other. Although, each one talks about the love towards one another they both have different ways of expressing it. Major Sullivan Ballou's Last Letter was written during the civil wars time so it was more based on that, while To My Dear Loving Husband was written way back in 1641. The most obvious difference
