| customs and etiquette in the services: Essential Manners for Couples Peter Post, 2009-10-13 From the man who closed the lid forever on the toilet seat debate in the New York Times bestseller Essential Manners for Men comes the follow-up book that paves the way for couples everywhere to fix relationship problems before they start. Peter Post offers the secrets to a long and happy marriage or partnership—without psychoanalysis or prescription medication. The good news: often just a few simple words or actions can mend a rift. Essential Manners for Couples reveals how easy it can be to keep the spark in your relationship. With self-deprecating humor, clarity, and wit, Peter recounts couples' most mischievous manners foibles (his own included). Essential Manners for Couples is based on Emily Post Institute surveys, Peter's years of fielding thousands of etiquette questions, popular demand from couples attending his national lectures and workshops, and his experience as a husband and father. Peter looks at couples' private lives and public lives, revealing the common flashpoints—the places, situations, and times when inconsiderate behavior is most likely to invade your blissful coupledom. He offers etiquette imperatives—simple truths and concise nuggets of advice not to be ignored, including: Permissive flirting: How to define parameters and enjoy verbal combat with the opposite sex. The Chore I.Q. test—are you really divvying up the workload fairly? When you hate her friends: socializing with the enemy. Enter children: Good parents still spend time together as a couple. Bedroom etiquette—getting beyond the headache excuse. Interactions with in-laws—smooth merge or crash and burn? Where to go for the holidays: surviving family visits and how to say no. Balancing life with your other significant other—your work ... and much more. Essential Manners for Couples is a must-have resource for the couple who wants to celebrate their union and strengthen it. As Peter Post says, By using the principles of etiquette, couples can avoid many of the potholes on the road of their shared life, and the ones they do hit are smaller and more manageable. With this book in hand, you'll enhance your relationship, head off hostilities, and have fun doing it. |

| customs and etiquette in the services: Manners and Customs Orin Brightfield, AI, 2025-02-20 Manners and Customs explores the diverse tapestry of social norms and etiquette that govern human interactions worldwide. It examines how seemingly simple gestures, like bowing in Japan or shaking hands in America, reflect centuries of cultural evolution. The book delves into everyday etiquette, covering greetings, table manners, and gift-giving traditions, while also investigating formal social customs such as wedding ceremonies and religious observances. This exploration highlights the underlying values and belief systems that shape different cultures. The book introduces key anthropological concepts, such as cultural relativism, to help readers understand behaviors within their specific cultural contexts. By tracing the historical development of etiquette from ancient civilizations to the modern era, the work illustrates how social norms evolve due to trade, conquest, and technological advancements. Structured geographically, the book dedicates major sections to the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa, featuring illustrative case studies. Ultimately, Manners and Customs argues that etiquette is not a set of arbitrary rules but a reflection of a society's deepest values and historical trajectory. Understanding the logic behind different customs fosters global empathy and enhances cross-cultural communication, essential in our interconnected world. The book concludes with an analysis of cross-cultural communication challenges in the 21st century, offering practical strategies for navigating diverse social situations. |
