Admittedly, there’s much truth in that joke. Too many women are princesses and believe they deserve a fantasy guy and a fairy tale ending.

Not all are this way, though. I feel badly for the men and women who try hard to please their spouse, but it’s never enough.

If we would start with the basics, the only floor needed at the husband store is the floor filled with men who promise to love their wives as Christ loves the church. The wives have to do their part, too, of course. Wives, respect your husbands. Men need respect.

Those last 3 words are my philosophy of life...it took me more than 55 years to develop it (I just turned 60).

Think about it:

When it comes to marriage, it's never enough.
When it comes to your kids, it's never enough.
When it comes to your job, it's never enough.
When it comes to your relationship with God, it's never enough.

That last one comes from my understanding of 1 John 3:18: let us love not in word or speech, but in truth and action. It's not a bad thing at all, it's a matter of doing your best every day. I didn't understand the concept of unconditional love until my first child was born, but now I have a better understanding of the love God has for me.

Gonna get slammed for saying the following.

And there are stupid men marrying these women. If you take your time and get to know someone a bit, you know what you are getting. They just don’t become princesses post marriage, they were before.

Do your damned due diligence. You do it for everything else you spend time/money on (cars, guns, homes, etc.).

But nooooo. She’s pretty. She’s got a great bod. My friends are jealous cuz she’s a hottie.

Sorry, those commercials depicting men as idiots appear to reflect reality,if everything we read on this thread is true.

Why are we giving up our power to women like this?

Married once, celebrating 25 years in a month.

Ducking now, expecting incoming.
