During the Sov Grace Conference, I got into this conversation with one of my church members and thought it might be helpful to post about it. It’s a way to save the many out there from some very quiet evenings. If you have any more that you’d like to contribute (I am sure there are thousands out there), please comment about it. I’d love to hear your story.
2. Inviting someone over for dinner with your wife right (“Jim, why don’t you come over to our place for dinner, that’s all right with you honey, right?�) there without first checking with your wife
3. When you’re sick and your wife cooks a special meal for you, you tell her, “Honey, this is great. But my mom used to make this great dish for me when I was sick. Would you mind calling her and getting the recipe?� (Ok, I was the idiot that actually did this)
4. Inviting people over while you’re in the middle of a conflict.
5. Getting a wife an appliance for her birthday
6. If your wife asks you if you think she has gained some weight, answering in the affirmative
If you can think of some more, please post them here…
On this subject I found some pretty funny stories and lines from Trey Morgan’s blog:
One person commented this way:
But, if you just want a funny story, here is one from my daughter.
When she was small. Her mother would say prayers with her at night before going to bed. After one of the prayers, the conversation between the two went like this.
“Mom, you know how you keep praying that you will be a better mom to me and my brother?”
“Yes,” she replied.
“Well, when is that going to happen?”

Another said had this to say:
I’ve found that not talking to my wife reduces the risk of getting in trouble. that is why most men grunt…

And this one is really funny:
A few years ago we were living in a house that had a really big kitchen with linoleum floors. It was such a pain to sweep with the “little� broom that we had. On my way to work one day I saw a truck parked along side the road with mops, brooms and other household cleaning items for sale. I thought to myself, “A considerate husband would buy a better broom for his wife to use so she didn’t have to use that little one.� I stopped and paid $25 for a nice dust mop (broom). I remembered how well they worked in my high school shop class.
When I got to work I called her to tell her I had bought her a nice prize that cost $25 and would bring it to her when I got home from work that day. I told her she could guess all she wanted but she’d never figure out what it was. I really thought I was doing something really nice. And now (hindsight is 20/20), I can see that a broom wasn’t one of those things she was guessing I would be bringing.
After a few hours of her trying to figure out what it was, I finally came home from work and handed her the broom. “Surprise,� I said, “I bought you a broom today.�
I probably don’t have to tell you the rest of the story, but I will tell you that she has never used that broom even once. It remains in the garage to this day.
