Revealed: Secret to a happy marriage life

16 Mar 2014

"I once asked my friend, "What is the secret behind your happy married life?"

He replied,"You should share responsibilities with due love, and respect to each other. Then absolutely there will be no problems. "I asked, "Can you explain?" He said, "In my house, I take 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 me him to give me some examples.

He said, "Smaller issues like how many kids to have, the neighbourhood to live, which car we should buy, how much money to save, who, when and where to visit, which sofa, cooker, refrigerator to buy, monthly expenses, whether to keep a maid or not, where to go for holidays, whose mum we should visit etc, etc, are decided by my wife. I just agree to it."

I then asked, "So then what is your role?”

He said, "My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether America should attack Iran, the uranium enrichment in North Korea, whether Britain should lift sanctions against Zimbabwe, how to fully exploit Africa's economic and intellectual potential, whether Yoweri Museveni and Barack Obama should retire, whether Arsenal FC needs to buy new players or change their coach to improve their play, whether Usain Bolt should retire now-while still at his prime etc, etc. My wife never objects to any of these
decisions and we live happily!"

Simple. Isn't it? Happily ever after...
