Just say....

"Yes dear. You are absolutely right dear."

I read, a few years ago, about a study done in Europe

they studied 3500 married couoples over a period of 30 years.

of all the succesful marriages they found one common factor

the husband always did what the wife told him to do

Be smarter than the average bear ~ don't start
'em, swallow your pride because who wins the fight doesn't matter, who understands the other person does.

My grandmother had a saying,

"Pa is boss as everyone knows.
But what Ma says always goes."

Good one.

That could be because he backs her up.

No wonder I'm divorced. I didn't read the training manual.

Hard to argue with your mouth full....make her a pie.

That never worked for me, she took it as me being condescending. I had to not only act like I agreed, but then had to actually rephrase her point of view as if it were mine too. Just too much work after a while.

DONT GET MARRIED.........

He had to. He was a truck driver and she was raising 7 children by herself during the week. I think he knew how smart and sweet she was too.

She sounds like a control freak of the highest order.

Dont get married in the first place.

Yah. That works "over there" but are American women and European women really all that much alike on things?
Just sayin...guys go get European and English gals for wives, because they really are different than American women.

We have a winner

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?" "No," she answered.
I then said, "Is that your final answer?" She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying "Yes."
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And that's when the fight started.... _________________________________________________________
I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary?"
It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said.
So I suggested, "How about the kitchen?"
And that's when the fight started.... _________________________________________________________
Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage.
I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.
The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed.
I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.'
My loving wife of 10 years replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?'
And then the fight started ... ________________________________________________________
A man and a woman were asleep like two innocent babies.
Suddenly, at 3 o'clock in the morning, a loud noise came from outside.
The woman, bewildered, jumped up from the bed and yelled at the man 'Holy ****. That must be my husband!'
So the man jumped out of the bed; scared and naked jumped out the window. He smashed himself on the ground, ran through a thorn bush and to his car as fast as he could go.
A few minutes later he returned and went up to the bedroom and screamed at the woman, 'I AM your husband!'
The woman yelled back, 'Yeah, then why were you running?'
And then the fight started...... _______________________________________________________
I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller Light for $14.95.
Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95.
I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream.
And then the fight started.... _______________________________________________________
A woman was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'
The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'
And then the fight started...... _________________________________________________________
I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.
"I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?""
Nah, she can order for herself."
And then the fight started... ________________________________________________________
My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.
My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'
'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.' 'My God!' said my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'
And then the fight started... ______________________________________________________
When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive... so, I took her to a gas station.
And then the fight started... ______________________________________________________
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.'
I bought her a scale.
And then the fight started... __________________________________

But then you would not be expressing your needs and getting them met, sure on little stupid things its ok, but otherwise you will start to build up resentments.

Makes perfect sense to me.. goin husband hunting in Europe

I'm afraid that's just as bad as if it were the other way around. They might not have even been succesful couples; the wife could've instructed the husband, "When they ask you if we're succesful, you answer yes"

Tsk tsk tsk, I have more faith in marriage than this :)

YEP!!! Good, someone already shouted it! Words of bankable gold, those. Wisdom is always the most simple one liner pearls.
