A good Jack makes a good Jill, doesn’t he?

Today’s English
June 20th, 2017

If a husband treats his wife well, she will treat him well in return. This is what we mean by saying “a good Jack makes a good Jill”

1.How are you getting along with your hubby? He knows, a good Jack makes a good Jill.
2.Why are you fighting with your wife like India and Pakistan? Don’t you know a good Jack makes a good Jill?

Are you a good Samaritan? The phrase comes from the bible and refers to one who is always ready to help those in need who are neglected by others.

1.My friend is such a good Samaritan that he never says NO to the needy.
2.Why don’t you ask, Mr.Arun, a good Samaritan?

If you are having friendly or close relationship with somebody, you are “on good /intimate/friendly terms with” them. If you are close to your boss and call him by his name, it means, you are on first-name terms with him.

1.I’m on first name terms with my manager.
2.She is on friendly terms with her colleagues.

We are often disappointed if the size is small, I mean, the size of the gift, mobile, room or edible items given to us.  But we don’t know that “the good things /best things come in small packages.”

1.How did you select her? She is so short and lean. So what? The best things come in small packages.
2.I know his love, so the size of the mobile he gifted me doesn’t matter. The good things come in small packages, don't they?
