Hey, it’s been 15 years, I’ve probably called him much worse then a “wusband” before.... Well, yeah I KNOW I have!

No, no, no, I would never hit anyone with a frying pan... That would be implying I can cook!

Actually my husband really likes it when I bake. I don’t have a ton of time to do it, so one time (we were college students I was very busy!) I intentionally under baked a cake so he’d just say we’d buy one next time. I can’t believe I was so devious— that was before we were married at least! But he loved that cake! Said it was the best cake he ever had— simple chocolate cake, chocolate frosting. I fessed up. I haven’t been able to duplicate that cake ever, and that’s always what he says he wants on his birthday!

Men listen up.
If you don't want to cook, use metal pans in the microwave while she is in the kitchen.
It's a very outrageously loud and scary occurrence that will earn you a ticket to the recliner.

I'M pretty sure that the study and it's conclusions are only valid in Norway.

Yeah! That's the ticket

Feeling needed (yes, even in such things as mundane chores) is an important part of marriage.

Touche’!

Women listen up.

If you need something done and want the husband to do it pronto, just simply say “Oh, I'm going to (insert whatever time consuming and/or difficult job here). Could you just run out to the store for me and get what's on this list?” Then hand husband a list containing feminine hygiene products on it. Husband will practically beg to do the harder job every time! Ha Ha!

My wife understands the word of G*D and knows Ephesians 5:23 is truth. I love her dearly, but she knows that that I am the Head of the house.

Nice rule!

When I have a project bigger than I can do on my own, I “bounce the idea” off of my husband to get his opinion on how best to do the job. Then a few days later I'll get all the tools and parts out and start fiddling with it. He has NEVER been able to not join in or take over! But he is very skilled in all kinds of carpentry and home repair and it must be torture to stand by and watch me fumble around with his tools! Haha!

Honey and I both were working full time when we met. I would be gone weeks at a time and the last thing I wanted to when I came home was to do housework. So, I sat Honey down and told him between wifely duties, cooking and cleaning, I was just too exhausted so he would need to pick the two most important to him.

He hired a housekeeper.
