Mnemonic

Every husband you see sets a new standard. It seems like husbands are just getting better and better these days, and whenever you see one the standard has gone up again.

Hints

Imagine what you see these standard-setting husbands doing. Maybe you see one listening intently to his partner's tedious story. Another lays his coat over a puddle for some lady to walk across. Wow, you see the husband standard going up everywhere.

Mnemonic

A good husband knows that a high standard is the key (き)… to his beloved's heart and to a happy marriage. The second he lets his standards slip, he knows the marriage is in trouble. Maintaining a high standard is definitely the key.

Hints

You can even imagine the sound of a key in a lock every time you see a husband setting a high standard. Like as soon as that one guy put his coat down over that puddle, you heard a key click and a heart open up. *click* And when some random husband politely opened a door for you? *click*
