The husband had recently come across a new book titled “You Can Be the Man of Your House.” Feeling inspired, he marched into the kitchen where his wife was and made a bold announcement: “From now on, you need to understand that I am the man of this house, and my word is law.”
His wife, not expecting this sudden declaration, listened attentively as he continued. He declared that she would prepare him a gourmet meal that night, followed by a sumptuous dessert. And afterwards, he expected their intimate time together to be just the way he wanted it. He even went on to mention that she would draw him a bath, wash his back, towel him dry, and bring him his robe. And as if that wasn’t enough, he added that she would also massage his feet and hands.
Finally, he concluded by saying, “And tomorrow, guess who’s going to dress me and comb my hair?”
Without missing a beat, his wife cleverly replied, “The funeral director would be my first guess.”
It’s important to remember that respect and equality are the cornerstones of a healthy relationship. While it’s crucial for each partner to contribute to the household in their own way, it’s equally vital to treat one another with love, kindness, and mutual respect. Communication, compromise, and shared responsibilities are key to creating a harmonious home environment.
