No, honey, those pants don't make your butt look big. You butt makes those pants look big.
I’m that way about her birthday. I can always remember what day it’s on, but I can never remember which one it is.
Marry for the wrong reasons - Marrying someone because you have strong emotions about them (which will eventually go away)
Love is a strong emotion. Is that not a “right reason” to marry someone?
I call my wife "skinny" and force her to eat deserts. The last time was an Irish Bread Pudding with Whiskey sauce and a touch of Grand Marnier. I'm pretty sure it was a traumatic experience for her...
; D
So one week I set everything up for the wrong time, another week I set it to the wrong channel, forgot to turn something on another week, and so on. "Oops, my bad. I'm sorry, we'll just get it again next time....". Eventually, I didn't hear any more about it. :-)
Don’t tithe - The money is your own, do what you want with it.
How does this mess up a marriage? I’ve heard of couples arguing over wether or not to tithe, but if both agree NOT to, then where’s the marital problem?
I "suggested" that Mrs Wbill engrave our anniversary date on the inside of our wedding ring. :-) That was a safe one.
Birthdays, I never have a problem with. Holidays, I do. They just get past me.... "Valentine's Day was last week?"
Cop out.
Too many military people get married too early and for the wrong reason (BAH w/dependents).
We have plenty of friends with strong military marriages. Both partners need to be mature and realistic. In some ways our marriages are better—we tend not to take each other for granted.
Use contraception - kids are a burden that make life miserable. Why take the risk? Of course couples that use NFP are happier, have better sex-lives, and stay married more than 95% of the time.
When you have kids it makes the man rethink just how broke does he want to be after divorce and child support. That is the only reason some men stay as long as they do. How do I know? I was guilty of that.
One other point, there was a point earlier about “not living beyond your means” when it is a well known fact that it is quite expensive to raise a child and unless you can afford to have a child every year and raise them all, you should probably take some responsibility for yourself.
16. Forget to put down the toilet seat.
“In some ways our marriages are betterwe tend not to take each other for granted.”
Plus the honeymooning when the deployment ends!
;-) That is a plus!
Hey honey have you gained
some weight in your rear-end?
That dress you wear reminds me
of my old girlfriend
And where'd you get those shoes?
I think they're pretty lame
Would you stop talking 'cause
I'm trying to watch the game
If you're a man who wants to live
a long and happy life
These are the things you
don't say to your wife
I planned a hunting trip
next week on your birthday
I didn't ask you 'cause I knew
it would be OK
Go make some dinner while
I watch this fishing show
I taped it over our
old wedding video
If you're a man who wants to live
a long and happy life
These are the things you
don't say to your wife
Your cooking is OK but not
like mother makes
The diamond in the ring
I bought you is a fake
Your eyes are looking puffy dear
are you feeling ill?
Happy anniversary
I bought you a treadmill
If you're a man who wants to live
a long and happy life
These are the things you
don't say to your wife
If you're a man who doesn't want
to get killed with a knife
These are the things you
don't say to your wife
Don’t marry a witch to begin with. I know a lot of really nice guys who made that mistake. If she’s a queen bee, check out her court. If her friends are barely tolerable, she probably is too.
How about accepting aging as a normal process and not criticize. My husband can’t say a thing about my butt in spandex and I won’t say a thing about his receding hairline. Still in love after 20 years.
That would be un-PC.
I agree with everything on this list.
Garbage. Why is the ‘responsible’ always to follow the culture of death?
What does “culture of death” have to do with anything that I wrote?
Is it responsible for a homeless or unemployed couple to start popping out one child after another?
I think a wrong reason would be marrying because someone got pregnant, then realizing you’re stuck. But, that goes with the premarital sex thing.
