“A Happy Wife” = “A Happy Life”
How long did it take you to figure it out the statement above?
If you don’t agree with this statement, you probably haven’t been married long, or you’re secretly still struggling to have that ideal relationship.
If you have figured this out, congratulations! Maybe you’re smarter than me, cause it took me some time to really “get it“.
For starters, you’ve got to understand the difference between men and women in general. If you haven’t read this book yet, you must! The long term happiness or your relationship depends on it.
Also, here’s an extra super valuable tip.
So what do I really mean by happy wife = happy life?
Well, I’ll tell you what it doesn’t mean. It’s not about sacrificing your own happiness. We all know that’s just not gonna happen.
But let’s face it. Guys are pretty simple. As long as we have good food, sex, and money to pay the bills and get our toys, we’re golden! Just as long as we’re able to hang out with friends, enjoy our hobbies and have a sense of accomplishment, we can die in peace.
But women are NOT like us! And there is NO peace in our lives when the wifey is unhappy!
Have you ever caught yourself in a heated and intense debate only to take a step back and realize that fighting over organic coffee versus regular coffee is just ridiculous? Can you believe you wasted an hour of your life like that? Wouldn’t it be much simpler and more peaceful to say, “Sure baby, we can drive that extra few miles so you can have your organic coffee,”?
Growing up, I recall countless times while shopping or in some social gathering where my dad would say, “She’s the boss,” in reference to my mom. I would always get annoyed when he said that. After all, he’s suppose to be the [man] of the house. How could [she] be the boss?
Okay so I admit, as wacked as it seemed back then, my dad is a wise man. My parents have been together for 35 years.
After being with my wife for over 6 years now, I’ve learned that it’s often not worth it to get into some stupid fight over some little thing.
So what’s a little thing? Just about everything!
Let’s look at it this way. Years from now, if you were to look back at all those ‘un-peaceful’ moments in your relationship, were they really worth fighting so much over? Have you ever been in a heated argument and forgot what you were fighting about?
Right. Remember that James Dean quote?
“Dream as if you will live forever. Live as though you will die today.”
Wouldn’t it suck to have the last moments of a relationship be negative?
How would you live out your marriage if today was the last day of your life? How would the rest of your life/marriage be if everyday was like that?
Going back to my dad, I learned that real men don’t squander over petty things with their wife. When you get passed your own ego, it’s actually pretty easy to make a girl happy. It’s all about the little things with women. And that means a happy life for us!
