Sorry for the delay in getting this post out there. Today let's examine the things that husbands should never ask/tell their wives.
1. "Why haven't you done the laundry yet?" In the midst of the thousands of other things that moms/wives have to do, sometimes the clothes may not get washed on your timetable. Besides that, if the guys would pick up their dirty underwear off of the floor, they might get them washed in a timely manner. Just turn the dirty ones inside out, and move on.
2. "Boy the house sure is a mess!" Sometimes this statement is met with agreement, but generally not after Kim has worked two nights in a row and I spent my time on the computer reading blogs and playing "Gem Shop" (the demo version) online.
3. "That's a large zit you have on your chin." Sometimes we husbands think we are alerting our wives to something they haven't noticed yet. This is not one of those instances.
4. "I just finished a tiring round of golf, can you put the kids to bed tonight?" Your wife will demonstate just how good she really is at swinging that 3 wood. Funny, I never noticed that Titleist logo on the back of my head before.
5. When your wife is pregnant don't say things like "you walk like a duck, you know it?" She might look like a duck out of water, but she could still kick your butt.
6. Even I'm not stupid enough to say "those jeans sure are getting tight!"
7. "Let's get rid of the minivan." After she picks herself up off the floor from laughing so hard, she'll just look you in the eye and say "NO."
8. "We're not getting any more _______." Trust me, if she wants more ________, you're gonna get some more_______!
9. "You're just upset because it's that time of the month!" Men can clearly see the rationale and truth behind this statement, but women rarely agree. It must be the hormones.
10. And finally, during that first year of marriage, NEVER, EVER, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT (unless you're tired of living) say "I don't know, it just doesn't taste like the way my mom makes it." Neither do frozen dinners, but that's what you'll be eating after you say this (once you get your foot out of your mouth).
Well there you have it. This certainly isn't an exhaustive list, but it sure hits the high points. I'm sure I'll have more to add in the coming months and years.

Along the lines of #s 1 and 2 is: "What have you been doing all day?"
You have done a great service to marriages, Rodney.
"What have you been doing all day?"
Important research!
Sounds like do you want to be right or do you want to be happy. Most days I want to be happy but every now and again the desire to be right raises its ugly head.
