Getting married October 9th

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I feel most, .. not all I know, but most marriages fail because the man is not living up to his responsibities as a husband or as a father.

.

huh?

That is a female perspective. Men know they will never really meet those expectations/responsibilities. I can do 9 things she wants, not do the 10th and she will ***** to high hell about me being lazy and sitting on my *** all day because I didn't do the 10th.

Men usually say they are divorcing over sexual issues, eg not getting enough so I guess one could say that most divorces happen because women aren't meeting their responsibilities as a wife.

Answer of course is, no one is responsible for divorce, it takes two to marry and two to divorce. We might want to blame the other but in reality it is no one person's fault. It is both's fault. That is why most of the developed world have no fault divorce. Blame him for the affair but hell it is her fault for not putting out. Blame her for the affair but it is his fault for not satisfying her. It cuts both ways.

This treating her like a Queen, open doors etc is bogus and dated. Women are equals now in all aspects of life, financial, employment, sex etc. If anything, you should open the door half the time and they open it half the time.

Treat them like an equal and you will be fine. Act like you are the master of the house, you make all the financial decisions, you carry her etc and it is recipe for disaster.

You are right, it takes two.

But it is not treating her like a 'queen', .. I never said that. It is treating her special though, .. treating her with respect.

Treating her like she is the most important person in your life. After all, she is.

Who else is more important than the person that shares your home, shares your finances, takes care of you when you need it, bears your children, helps raise your children, shares your successes and failures?
I can't think of anyone more important in a man's life than his wife. Why not treat her that way. Trust me you won't regret it.

Like I said, if you get a good wife, there is nothing better. You are blessed if you have a good wife.

Drink whiskey heavily...she will love it.
If the house is a mess,let her clean it.
A toaster,vacuum cleaner and broom are the best gifts ever.
Leave the toilet seat up...stand your ground.
Spend as much $$$ as you can...because if you don't ,she will.
Never apologize...NEVER.

And remember...there are two people in a marriage.
One is always right.
The other one is the husband.

marriage is a constant work in progress.... communication is key

raising kids that's another situation all together
