Of course, there is much to disdain about The New Rules of Marriage, but what offended me most was its pervasive celebration of inequality amongst the sexes. Women want more out of relationships today so…men must give it to them. Why is that the case? In every equitable transaction, the side who asks for more must offer more in exchange. This leads us to ask, what do modern women offer men that is superior to what their predecessors proffered in the past?......

I'd rather be right.
My daddy always said “Marry them young and train them right”. Men have been doing this since the beginning of time. It seems to me that when people wait until they are older to form marital relationships, they are asking for trouble. Younger women aren’t set in their ways yet.
Which is why selecting a good wife is so important.
A man should make sure she knows how to cook, and owns her own set of cookwear.
It's important for a prospective wife to have an education in some useful field, like massage therapy. (There's nothing like a good foot rub after a long day at the shooting range!)
She should know which end of the vacuum cleaner goes on the carpet, and how to dust not just the visible surfaces, but also behind the microwave oven and the tops of the ceiling fan blades.
A good women is not afraid to scrub the toilet or the floor next to it, even when she is out of cleaning gloves.
Yes, choose well, young men, and you will never regret getting married.
I learned well from Dr. Williams.
And they're so darned cute.
Just don't marry one so young that she hasn't learned how to mow the lawn or change the oil in the car.
Boy you are really askin for it.
A digital iron! You're going to spoil her with fancy gifts like that.
Are you afraid?
I mean, we know he is joking, but serious question; Are you really afraid of women?
“This leads us to ask, what do modern women offer men that is superior to what their predecessors proffered in the past?......”
Nothing.
In fact, It seems to me they are offering less.
Nope.......just don’t put up with no crap......from men or women. If a woman wants to yell and scream and throw things, I walk away and stay away. Don’t want it, don’t need it. Got better things to do.
I hadn't considered that angle. I'd better hold off on the presents for a while.
Good idea, that way you won't need a tetanus shot when they take you to the burn unit.
When do your stitches come out?
Whe he gets done ironing his shorts.
Thats the best thing to do....walk away....and DO NOT RETURN.
But I know some men that put up with it.
You gotta find a willing cow,,,,,,
You guys are all wrong. You can’t predict what a woman will do in 20 years. Have fun and screw around until you get old and then marry some young professional, pick up your fishing pole and go fishing. In this way she can’t divorce you because she will have to pay you spousal support.
Don’t forget to pack the 12 pack.
Put Another Log On The Fire
(sheldon silverstein)
Put another log on the fire,
Cook me up some bacon and some beans,
Go out to the car and change the tire,
Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.
Baby, fill my pipe and then go fetch my slippers,
Boil me up another pot of tea.
Put another log on the fire, girl,
The come and tell me why you’re leaving me.
Don’t I let you wash the car on sunday ?
Don’t I warn you when you’re getting fat ?
Ain’t I gonna take you fishing some day ?
Well, a man can’t love a woman more than that.
Ain’t I always nice to your kid sister,
Don’t I take her driving every night ?
So sit here at my feet because I like you when you’re sweet
And you know that it ain’t feminine to fight.
So put another log on the fire,
Cook me up some bacon and some beans,
Go out to the car and change the tire,
Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.
Fill my pipe and then go fetch my slippers,
And boil me up another pot of tea.
So put another log on the fire, woman,
Then come and tell me why you’re leaving me.
Yeah, come and tell me why you’re leaving me.
< stands up and cheers>
I was trying to get a loan on my 401K ( I’ve been paying into it the last 10+ years and Im the only person on the account of course).
I was told just because i’m married (I got married in the last 3 years) i need my wife’s signature and i can’t get a loan over a certain amount without her signature/approval!!!!!!!!!
I told them it is my money and it was already there before i got married and why do I need her signature when she is not even on the account nor has access to my account.
They told me that is how the law is.
Once your married on paper, literally they got you by the balls.
The laws have gone really insane.
Luckily I married a really hot and sweet woman :)
