Not stated elsewhere, this needs stating (for kids like Krakenn).

The Number One Man Law:

It's your fault. It's ALWAYS your fault. Even if you think it was her fault, it was your fault for putting her in the position such that she might be at fault (which, of course, she isn't).

[Capt Hook]

Restated: Even when you're right, you're wrong!

You guys finally got something right in the Man Laws

Being married for almost 20 years I think that I can comment on this.

First, marry your best friend. Marriage isn't about money or sex as you can lose both when you get older. Then what do you have?

Secondly, compromise, you heard me. If you go diving on one day then spend the next day with what she wants to do. Don't be naive guys, you know what she likes.

Third, agree to disagree. no one is going to be right 100% of the time (no one!). If you are wrong make sure that you fall on your sword and sincerely apologize.

Above all, show her that you appreciate what she does for you and the kids. Buy her flowers once and awhile as it is the little things that really matter.

I am mushy because I am planning our 20th at the moment.

Don't you lose both when you get married?

Everything is in a 1:2 ration. One you get one thing she gets two. Just like if you go away for a week you get twice the grief you get to give if she goes away.

Third, agree to disagree. no one is going to be right 100% of the time (no one!). If you are wrong make sure that you fall on your sword and sincerely apologize.

I agree with the post before this one. Just assume you are wrong.

Above all, show her that you appreciate what she does for you and the kids. Buy her flowers once and awhile. It is the little things that matter.

100% agree!!!!!!!!

I jest, I love my wife but she runs the show!

If a man says something in the woods and no one hears him... Is he still wrong?

[deepdiver47]

no one owns anyone JM, she does because you think she does. You know, you can because you think you can?

...probably...

and to answer the initial question: in the words of Chris Rock, "Say "yes" to anything you can afford..."
