Summary: "The Fifteen Comforts of Matrimony: Responses from Men by Various" is a collection of poetic commentary on the institution of marriage, likely written in the early 18th century. The book provides humorous and satirical reflections on the various challenges and frustrations that men generally experience in married life.
