The Biblical admonitions are:
1) Husband, love your wife.
2) Wife, respect your husband.
Result? Happy marriage.
“every white dude on a commercial is a dolt”
It seems that in most advertising if there’s a man and a woman, the man is the dolt. If there’s a white person and a black person, the white person is the dolt. If there’s an adult and a kid, the adult is the dolt. Pitiful what political correctness and done to America.
Unfortunately, I was cursed with two UNappreciative wives and I dumped both of them.
Well that’s my point....American TV is bending over backwards to paint a picture that just isn’t real. It’s transparent, it’s nauseating, and it does over time have an impact.
Seems to me respect is what is missing here. Should be both respect each other and model this for the kids. There were eight kids when I grew up long ago very poor. But parents taught us soap is cheap, respect for them and each other, and we were to always look out for each other. Wish America was like that again.
WOW - I missed that one. That was awesome...he was white, manly, loved his family, was competent and strong and compassionate.
You may be right...this may start a trend. That is astonishing in light of what most of the commercials are.
Immature women try to humiliate their husbands as they have inferiority complexes that immaturity brings. They usually find themselves divorced.
I wouldn't know. Never had a moment even close to that in my marriage. My bride would never do that. I'm sorry you had to go thru that, and for what it portends....cuz as you say...."pretty much what you're in for..." I'd get out if I were you...
My buddies wife said to him, You don’t have the balls to have an affair. He moved out and started laying pipe. She bitched to everyone about him. The kids bitched about him to everyone. There was no shortage. Some years later she begged him to return. Nope. She promised she had changed and would honor him. After two years, my advice was give her a chance. If she started the crap again, grab your clean underwear and leave. He went back. She has changed. She does not ridicule him. Neither do his daughters. When couples hear that type of bashing while visiting with others, the proper thing to do is go start the car, and let your wife know the evening has ended. For good with those kind of friends.
Ditto. Typically, the outside of the house, along with any repairs or "heavy" (think, furniture moving, trash dumping) work, is mine. Inside the house belongs to my lovely wife.
There are exceptions, of course. She gets the trash if I forget. I like to cook a night or two over the weekend, gives her a break. And, I'll usually clean the kitchen, muck out the fridge, run the dishwasher, etc, while I'm cooking - again, gives her a break for a bit. I know where the washing machine is, and she knows how to paint, garden, etc.
But divvying up the chores isn't hard, and frankly, we don't really give a whole lot of thought to it.
I thought this was s story abut “male enhancement”. Never mind.....
I married over 50 years ago and never went shopping with my husband. Not once.
Who does that?

Comes down to one thing, submission to your husband which represents submission to God. I know I am a control freak, and would have not only told Adam to try the apple but also how to get it from the tree, how to hold it, peel it, bite it, chew it, and swallow it.
Knowing your weaknesses is not talked about, but in life, a good human has to know their limitations because when they are weak, then they are strong in the Lord, eh?
Junk, Tim Allen in Last Man Standing is a take no crap, conservative Dad. Brutally in your face conservative at times.
And Nancy Travis is still great looking for a 52 year old woman.
I think the Dad in “The Middle” is a stand up guy too. Granted, its comedy but he is just a hard working dad who along with his wife raised good kids.
Both of the above are good clean shows.
Are you a woman who wants to poach another womans husband? Try telling him this: If you were my husband I would never let you do the laundry.....
Married since 1973 and he has NEVER helped with ANY of the laundry, or dishes! or bathroom cleaning, etc. Even when I worked full time, then later we had three young kids, I did all the housework, cooking, cleaning...
But I am a happy retired homemaker!
...the feminist habit of assaulting men with derisive remarks must produce a hostile cultural environment.
(((
So very true for all of the reasons cited.
Also, this assault on men and maleness has really undermined the sense of self that boys have. Over the course of my teaching career, I saw an entirely different type of boy emerge, a boy greatly diminished by the constant “Girls can do anything” garbage.
Wow it sounds like these ungrateful wives are NOT marriage material! How sad for them!
Betty Friedan was well-known for her violent temper.
Don’t get married then...
