Ahh. Finally, someone who gets it.

Too bad my wife didn't get the memo.

I'd like that kind of a wife, my significant other might too!- I'm hiring

Wow....I remember my mother saying many of these things as I was growing up. I had thought she made them up!

Yes! Yes!!

I'm sending my wife for the ribbon for her hair NOW!

Actually, a lot of those things are excellent principles, though his topics are not more important then hers. But what if both generally held to those main principles? I'd imagine it would result in a very happy marriage.

Husband upon getting home, rushes in and says "Hurry, honey! Please get me a beer before it starts!" and heads to the couch and turns on the TV. The perplexed wife gets him a beer and he cracks it open, chugs the beer and says "Honey get me another beer before it starts!"

She gets him another beer from the fridge.

"Hurry honey! It's about to start, can you get me another beer?"

She says. "Look, I don't know what's going on, but if you want a beer go get one yourself! and another thing, you tracked in mud because you didn't take off your shoes, and.."

"Oh cripes," he exclaims. "It's started!"

My favorite is the last one. Home should be a place of relaxation, being yourself and enjoying each other. Husband always has dinner fixed for him and his lunch made for the next day. I try not to look like a dog when he gets home, but those suggestions are a little over the top. I always encourage him to go and be with his friends (which he rarely does) cause then I have more time to myself! :~)

The key is mutual appreciation and kindness.

You said it, jatfla. Most of the tips are good ones. I try to keep the atmosphere pleasant, too. My hubby appreciates my efforts, as I appreciate his.
