I asked my friend, “What is the secret behind your Happy Married Life?”
He said, “You should share responsibilities with due love and respect each other. Then absolutely there will be no problems.”
I asked, “Can you explain?”
He said, “In my house, I make decisions on bigger issues whereas my wife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each other’s decisions.”
Still not convinced, I asked him, “Give me some examples”
He said “Smaller issues like, which car we should buy, how much amount to save, when to visit the supermarket, when & where to go on vacation, which sofa, air conditioner, refrigerator to buy. Monthly expenses, whether to keep a maid or not etc. Are all decided by my wife. I just agree to it.“
I asked, “Then, what is your role?”
He said, “My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether Britain should lift sanctions over Zimbabwe, whether Bodoland should be formed or not, whether Ronaldo should retire from Football, etc etc., and do you know, my wife; NEVER, objects to any of these decisions…
On their 50th wedding anniversary
On their 50th wedding anniversary and during the banquet celebrating it, Tom was asked to give his friends a brief account of the benefits of a marriage of such a long duration.
“Tell us, Tom, what have you learned from all those wonderful years with your wife?”
Tom responds, “Well, I’ve learned that marriage is the best teacher. It teaches you loyalty, meekness, forbearance, self-restraint, forgiveness — and a great many other qualities you wouldn’t have needed if you’d stayed single.”
LOL!!
