How To Have A Happy Marriage

 

People always ask

how is it my wife and I

have stayed married

for 50 years

 

it is so easy

I respond

just do everything

your wife says

 

there is no sense

in arguing

you will always

lose

 

so just accept your fate

and obey

follow her instructions

and do not push back

 

then retreat to the garage

or the tool shed

 

you can always say

yes dear

you are right dear

makes perfect sense

 

then go behind her back

and do what you intended

in the first place

 

it's duplicitous

it's sneaky

but it's survival

 

and that's what is

the most important-

survival of the species.

Make sure the shed has an internal bolt.

Moral -
As long as women think they have won
Men can say "Yes dear" - and still have their fun. ?
