        In the Christian marriage ceremony, it used to be the wives who vowed to "Love, honour, and obey" their husbands. :)

          I asked my wife to rate my listening skills. She said “your an 8 on a scale of ten” I asked her why she wanted me to urinate on a skeleton?!?!?!

          If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

            most of our conversations seem to revolve around medical terms, as I remarked to my wife the other day, but she couldn't make out my words over her tinnitus, and thanks to my hypophonia, I couldn't make her hear me...

            I "do" without asking. I know what works. I say "what" when listening because it's true.

                        Husbands like to think they are in charge, and their wives sensibly allow them to think that whilst doing what they are told: "I'm in charge here, and I have my wife's permission to say so!"
