Making your marriage work

 FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER SAY TO YOUR SPOUSE

A friend of mine sent me this - If you’ve been married for any length of time, you’ve probably learned that there are certain things that a husband should never say to his wife. It was funny to hear about marital strife when you were single, but now you know firsthand how uncomfortable a night alone on the couch can be. 

Here are five things you should definitely avoid saying to your wife if you value your mortal existence 😁.

1. “You’re not that old.” A woman is never old – not a lot, not a little. Even if she openly admits to being ancient, and her skin hangs in drapes from her sagging bones, to you she is always young and beautiful, and you’d better tell her so.

2. “Woman, make me a sandwich!” Even when used in jest, this is a phrase that is much more likely to get a sandwich smashed into your face 😁than presented nicely on a plate with a pickle and a side of chips.

3. “Can you come over here and help me find the tip of my finger?” Body parts should stay attached to your body. And despite your intense pain, expect to do some serious explaining of your bone-headed actions that led to your loss.

4. “Let me tell you how my mom used to do that.” As much as you love your mother, she is your wife’s mother-in-law.

5. “Do you want to join a gym with me?” You might as well say, “Wow, you’re getting fat lately. Let’s go work off some of that ice cream you ate last night!” Also, you should probably start running immediately, because you will be surprised at how fast an angry slightly-out-of-shape wife can chase you down 😁

Now you’ve learnt this be careful and enjoy the sweetness of a happy spouse. 

It can lengthen your days.
