The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for November 02, 2021

Always agree with a woman. It is the rule for a long marriage.Also because they are almost always right.

Obvioulsy! I knew you’d say that.

It’s also a good idea to never argue when the wife “asks” for money!! Just resign yourself to giving it to her and save yourself the MEEgrain that would follow if you had refused!!

;-)

With us it used to be the last two words…, now it’s the last three words: Depending on the length of the conversation they would be either “Ha! Yeah right” or “As you wish”.

Brutus isn’t completely clueless.

Wise words.

My wife will be here to comment for me later on.

Just start by saying I’m sorry, you’re going to end up saying it anyway, whether you believe it or not!

smart man.

been married 46 years, raised 4 kids. Best idea for a long marriage? Never go to bed angry. We have always talked things out, so we don’t ever fight. Koreans are, as a general rule, very hot tempered. Walking thru the village (where we spent 3-4 months every year until 2020) one day I saw a man burst out of the barber shop, face lathered, cape still on, being chased by the barber waving a razor. One of the neighboring shop owners said he does that often whenever he starts arguing about baseball.(Which is very popular in Korea)

Joke: last night the wife and I had a fight and at the end she came to me on hands and knees. -Oh yeah?- Yeah, she said ‘Come out from under that bed you coward!’

My last two words are usually: "SAY WHAT !! "

When our son married, he asked his Dad the secret to a happy marriage. Dad said, Remember this one sentence. Yes, dear. You are right".

How many years did it take Brutus to figure that out.

You just go to love Brutus’ wisdom!

Words insuring Peace in any marriage regardless of what you may really want to say…..

The two most important words in a marriage? (for a man)

“yes dear.”

The three most important words in a marriage? (for a man)

“I’m sorry dear” (even if you have no idea what you did wrong, or if you will ever find out what you did wrong.)

He’s wiser then we give him credit for.

Do whatever works for your relationship. Some want to be told they are right. I’d rather talk about it. There may be a side that I hadn’t considered. Just be respectful, thoughtful and kind, and things should work out.

So Brutus for you it’s peace at any price.

Recipe for a happy marriage. I’ve followed it for 41+ years!

When I told my wife that I had been promoted to Commander she said, “That’s great dear … that makes me Captain!”
