    Listen - JUST listen... if my bride is describing a problem I realize she is not asking me to offer a solution.

    This is true

        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.

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

          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!"

                        That's hysterical. And, as you say, there's a lot of truth in it x
