#1 - Don't try to problem solve. When girls have bad days, trying to problem solve doesn't help. Don't ask me why because I don't know.
#2 - "I'm sorry that happened to you" is a great phrase to break out when you feel the urge to problem solve.
#3 - Logic does not apply to female emotions. Again, don't ask me why, I'm just a guy.
#4 - Never say "You're being irrational!" Refer to #2 for proper response.
#5 - Clean the kitchen.
#6 - Listen to books on tape while cleaning the kitchen. Use the mundane task time to expand your mental arsenal.
#7 - Your wife is not a formula. Sometimes a parking ticket is nothing and sometimes it's as catostrophic as an earthquake. Don't get frustrated by this, just embrace the feminine mystique or some crap like that.
#8 - When overwhelmed by #7, combine #2 with hugs and continue to execute #1.
#9 - Be a leader.
#10 - There is no such thing as being 50-50 in a marriage. Go all in, 100%.

this is your wife LAUGHING OUT LOUD. thank you for loving me in such an amazing way.
ReplyDeleteI think that just about covers it. You sound like a well-seasoned and very wise husband. I tried picking out my favorite in the list but couldn't - "go all in" is especially good though. Thank you for loving my daughter so well.
ReplyDeleteWell I certainly can't take any credit for all that wisdom, it must come from his wife.
ReplyDeleteby the way Connie, I'm going with cleaning the kitchen as my favorite-that is a learned trait, it did not exist prior to his being married.
