When you want to refer to a husband and his wife, you may not know exactly how to phrase your words in order to refer to them. While there are multiple options you may choose from, not all of them are correct and they aren’t all interchangeable either.
Both “he and his wife” and “him and his wife” are correct depending on their context. If you can replace “he and his wife” with the word “they”, you are using the correct option. If you can replace the phrase “him and his wife” with the word “them”, that’s the phrase for you to use.
Both of these phrases can be correct or incorrect depending on the context in which they are used. In order to determine which phrase you should use, you must determine how the context affects the phrase.
You should use the phrase “he and his wife” when the context around the phrase implies the couple is doing something, such as an action. If you can use “them” to replace the phrase “he and his wife”, you are correctly using this phrase.
Here are some examples of how to correctly use the phrase “he and his wife”.
The correct time to use “him and his wife” is when the context around the phrase indicates an action of some sort is being done to the couple by an outside force. If you can replace the phrase with “them” you are using the phrase correctly.
Below are some reference sentences showing correct examples of how to use the phrase “him and his wife”.
The phrase “he and his wife” is used most according to the Google Ngram Viewer , a handy website for comparing words and phrases over time. The phrase is used vastly more than “him and his wife”.
Up until the start of the 1940s, both phrases were used fairly equally until “he and his wife” began a steady increase in usage that still continues today. Unlike “he and his wife”, the phrase “him and his wife” has maintained its usage over the years, never increasing or decreasing substantially.
According to the Google Ngram Viewer for the US and the Google Ngram Viewer for the UK, both areas are shown to use the phrases “he and his wife” and “him and his wife” fairly similarly, with “he and his wife” most popularly used.
While both the UK and the US use “he and his wife” more than the other phrase, the US uses both phrases more commonly and consistently than the UK does, as shown by the Google Ngram Viewers.
According to this Google Ngram Viewer which shows word comparisons over time, it is not more proper to use “his wife and him” and “his wife and he”, and it is definitely less popular. The phrases you should use are “him and his wife” and “he and his wife”.
Both the phrase “his wife and him” and the phrase “his wife and he” had two very small periods in the first half of the 1900s, but they never gained popularity. The phrase “he and his wife” has almost always been the most popular choice of phrasing for the past few hundred years.

The heroine feels second best to the hero first wife should have turned me off the book completely but I saw on one Facebook group that the hero was never in love with his dead wife and while that part was true .. (view spoiler) [he was never in love with her, he hated her and only married her because she lied to him that she was pregnant but they failed to mention the rest. (hide spoiler) ] What a pathetic poor, poor girl. Girl meets man falls in lust over two days and she marries him. She becomes more pathetic than she already is for this guy, who was mysterious, he treated ok, told her sweet things and asked her to marry him in a period of 2 days. Girl calls herself doormat Darby. Weak Darby. Doormat Darby again and so on and on. Everyone walks all over her, they put her down... Her mother... his mother, his friends, his acquaintances compares her with his dead wife and more importantly him, he calls her his whore, he treats her like a child, he spanks her, hits her with a belt poor doormat Darby she just takes everything.. Never says anything, she just turns the other cheek around. When She finally grows a backbone, it was way too late. Hero was amazing (sarcasm) hitting someone with the belt? Calling his wife his whore? Telling his wife he wants to see her having sex with OM? Who would find this romantic? (view spoiler) [He accidentally killed his first wife and deliberately cover up her death. (hide spoiler) ] And really the rest is not even worth mentioning. Overall this was the tale of pathetic weak doormat Darby.

1.5 stars (that's being generous and 1 star is purely for the satisfying punch in the face the pathetic heroine gives to the hero near the end of the book). Where to begin... First of all, it's disingenuous of the author not to mention anywhere that this is a retelling of a book (Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier). Many of the main and critical scenes are straight from Rebecca including the twist at the end of the book (although the twist on twist in Rebecca was far superior and showed who really was the victor at the end). Therefore moving the location to the United States and adding gratuitous (and frankly annoying sex scenes - i will touch on this a bit more later) to someone else's story does not mean you can take all the credit. Now to the things that the author added to Rebecca and thought this is making it a "modern" "updated" version: - Frequent unnecessary sex scenes - the heroine is a virgin - but within a few hours of meeting the older distinguished hero, in the back of a cab, he's baring her breasts and fondling her and brings her to an orgasm - with the can driver watching - and our meek heroine loves it. There is spanking and tying up - all before she even has sex with him for the first time. - Making the hero call the heroine a whore. Just no. - The hero and his previous wife were swingers. Eeek! - Nearly getting raped by a friend of the hero's. It ticked me off the hero did not do more about it. - The hero calling the heroine "baby" - especially where there were frequent references to how everyone thought and treated her like a child (esp the hero!). The h is in fact 21 and the H 42. It would have been better if the author inspired by Rebecca, set out to write her own, unique story. There are snippets of her own writing - the description of Peacock Alley and the scene where the insipid heroine finally grows a backbone and punches the hero (yay! and yes i know i have mentioned this scene already - but it goes to show how much i enjoyed this. After reading pages and pages of 'doormat' 'meek' 'weak' 'dumb' Darby, it was good to see her not stand for all the crap.) I highly recommend reading Rebecca for an absorbing, amazing, twisty, gothic read. Please do not think this book is anything like it.

After reading the blurb for this baby and discovering this story was all about the dead wife trope (one of my FAVORITE tropes), I dove right in. What the blurb left out was that this story is basically a blatant ripoff and a smuttied up version of the classic story Rebecca. Spineless little Darby is put through emotional hell through most of this story, from most of the characters.

(view spoiler) [I still don't understand why the whole community loved Savannah so much, being the vindictive, hateful slut she openly was. 🤷 (hide spoiler) ] Nate was a douche through most of this story too, and his spankings and belt scene were pretty much representative of physical abuse. Both main characters felt very shallow to me, and I really never connected with them or cared if they ended up staying together or not. For the life of me, I don't know what kept me reading to the end, but I made it. This author CAN write, and I would love to read an original story by her, but this story was difficult to enjoy since this so closely copied Rebecca.

While I'm not fond of re-tellings, I'm even less fond of reading a re-telling without any indication of it being one. That being said, I actually liked this one. When I read the blurb for His Wife, which I don't do often, I got excited because it had a Rebecca (by Daphne Du Maurier) feeling to it and I like that plotline a lot. But I didn't expect the book to mimic Rebecca so much. Of course there were changes, it's not ALL the same, but most of it. There were a few changes here and there. I felt
While I'm not fond of re-tellings, I'm even less fond of reading a re-telling without any indication of it being one. That being said, I actually liked this one. When I read the blurb for His Wife, which I don't do often, I got excited because it had a Rebecca (by Daphne Du Maurier) feeling to it and I like that plotline a lot. But I didn't expect the book to mimic Rebecca so much. Of course there were changes, it's not ALL the same, but most of it. There were a few changes here and there. I felt like I already knew everything that would happen (although the ending did surprise me). Even with re-tellings it's good when we don't know everything that will happen. The iconic masquerade ball scene in Rebecca was here and I feel like that one was THE same. Many scenes are the same, but this one I saw coming right away once I've realized His Wife was a re-telling. I'm not calling it a modern-day take on Rebecca, it's a re-telling. And not knowing it bothered me. I think this was a well-written book and it got me hooked, but then it got me questioning how much of it was the author's work considering I already loved Rebecca. I will say this, even when a re-telling is about a book I love, I don't usually like it as much as I liked this one. I can't, however, give it more stars, because I feel a bit cheated. I like that I didn't have preconceived ideas by knowing this was a re-telling of Rebecca, but then the blurb made me think of it and it's what made me interested in this book in the first place. That being said, I feel like not saying it's a re-telling of such an iconic book, the people who haven't read Rebecca won't know it and they might not know that the plotline and many of the scenes in His Wife belong to another book. There's a fine line here and while I don't see anything wrong with re-tellings per se, I feel like not saying the book is one of those is a bit like cheating. Again, there are some changes to Daphne DuMaurier's original story, it's modern-day for instance, and there are some twists to it. But it's essentially the same story and while I commend the author for making me like it (because she could have ruined a favorite book of mine), I also don't know if I liked it because I love Rebecca. Would I recommend it? Yes, of course. But read it knowing it's not an original plotline. In the end I enjoyed His Wife. I liked how it surprised me, specially the ending. The writing is good, I wish there was more originality to the book, but we can't say the writing wasn't good. This book could have re-told the story in a very bad way and that didn't happen.

3.45 Stars When I first read the blurb, I thought to myself… this sounds like Rebecca . I unlike practically everyone else, never cared for D. Maurier’s book, but after reading some of the reviews I decided to give it a shot. It’s about 160 pages shorter, and has some kink, so I figured it might be less boring than the original. There’re thousands of reviews of Rebecca that outline the book, so I’m not going to go too deep, but in a nutshell His Wife is the modern-day, American version with kink. D

There’re thousands of reviews of Rebecca that outline the book, so I’m not going to go too deep, but in a nutshell His Wife is the modern-day, American version with kink. Darby is fresh out of college when she meets the dashing Nathan Randolph, after a whirlwind romance (like 36 hours) the couple marries, and upon arriving home Darby realizes she is competing with Savannah’s ghost. (dead wife) Much of the “outline” is the same; some events (like the ball) are almost identical. The main differences are that the h gets a name, and it’s told in real time rather than flashbacks. The entire plot is streamlined with fewer characters, and deleting the numerous mundane events. (like walking the dog & day to day crap) Also, instead of receiving hints slowly sprinkled over many chapters we get it all together. Nathan is not as broody/aloof/indifferent as Maxim; I never felt like he didn’t love her, or the marriage wouldn’t work. The biggest change was to the h; even though her nickname is Doormat Darby, she has more backbone than no-name. She starts out pretty wimpy, but isn’t as skittish, and there’s not endless musings of her feeling unworthy. Eventually, she grows, albeit small, a pair of lady balls, and is empowered by the end. Bottom Line- This is definitely a retelling, and the author probably should’ve warned readers, but I read so much that many plot ideas are similar that it didn’t bother me. If you’re a HUGE Rebecca fan; you might find this inadequate, and yell… Rip-off… but if you found it too long and boring… you might give this one a shot. It’s fre
