Yup, me and every other married guy out there.
It’s been said that marriage is the art of compromise. You want this, she wants that. So you compromise, and do it her way.
Reminds me of Charlton Heston’s advice for long marriages:
Master those three little words: I Was Wrong.
If a man can be man enough to say those three little words, he’ll have her for life.
I’d like to confess that, so far, I’m not man enough…
Damn that was funny. Parts of it ring pretty true but, it ain’t really that bad.
Wow that takes me back to our days in Kentucky when we used to listen to Bob & Tom every day. Loved it then. But alas you are all wrong on the marriage thing - both of you give a 100%, man makes the money, woman controls the purse and you both learn how to say I’m sorry. Has worked for 25 years for us - I do defer $ to his favorite items, if he asks first, since he makes the money - but I do heap a tad of guilt - now and then. We both enjoy football & hockey - so that’s not an issue and he’s gotten me hooked on Formula 1 and I’ve gotten him hooked on some of the Food Network shows.And we’ve both become more politically active.
However, I do believe that for the entire 26 years we’ve been a ‘thing’ - the fact that one or both of us was shooting something of caliber - has made a big difference. Having a venue to release one’s anger is always a good thing - most especially when you can destroy something doing it. And not go to jail because of it. This weekend we are using gourds. And having cake for desert. Should be good times for all.
But alas you are all wrong on the marriage thing - both of you give a 100%
Obvious, wardmama.
If you approach a marriage as a 50/50 proposition, you are always arguing over where the line is.
So said Spencer W. Kimball.
