∇The Secret of a Happy Marriage From R.Hynes of Mornington
My wife and I have the secret to making the marriage last... Twice a week we go to a nice restaurant, have some good food, a little wine and companionship. She goes Tuesday and I go Friday. We sleep in separate beds, hers in Sydney and mine in Melbourne. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back. I asked her where she wanted to go for our anniversary, 'Somewhere I haven't been for a long time' she said. So I suggested the kitchen. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops. She has an electric blender, an electric toaster and an electric bread maker. When she said that she had too many gadgets but nowhere to sit down. I bought her an electric chair. Remember that marriage is the number one cause of divorce. Statistically 100% of all divorces started with marriage. I married Ms. Right, I just didn't know that her first name was ALWAYS. I haven't spoken to her in 18 months now - I don't like to interrupt her. The last time we had a fight, it was my fault. She asked, 'What is on the TV?' I said 'It looks like Dust'. In the beginning; God created the earth and rested. Then God, created the man and rested. Then God created woman. And since then neither God nor man has rested.Original article - The Secret of a Happy Marriage by R.Hynes of Mornington.

Hilarious Advice On How To Look After Your Husband
This advice was allegedly in a Home Economics textbook.
...(vidFL2)
Minimise all noise. As soon as he arrives home, turn off the washer,
dryer, dishwasher and vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy
to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and look glad to see him.
Don't greet him with problems and don't complain if he is late for
dinner. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that
day. So make him comfortable. Have him lean back in his armchair or suggest
that he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool drink ready for him. Arrange
his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing
and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind. Listen to him. You may
have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the
time. Let him talk first.
Make the evening his. Never complain if he does not take you out to
dinner or other pleasant entertainment. Instead try to understand his world
of strain and pressure, his need to unwind and relax. Your goal is to try to
make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax in
body and spirit.
Happiness Correlates with Marriage
Naturally, you can be unhappily married, but a lot of people are content with their marital lot. Overall, people in successful marriages are happier than people who are not. There are those who are not married, but who are in stable, committed relationships. As long as this is effectively the same as marriage, then they also tend to be be happier.How to Understand Women!

The Secret of Marriage - Understanding Men
- Because I'm a man, when I lock my keys in the car, I will fiddle with a coat hanger long after hypothermia has set in. Calling a garage is not an option. I will win.
- Because I'm a man, when I catch a cold, I need someone to bring me soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You're a woman. You never get as sick as I do, so for you, this is no problem.
- Because I'm a man, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the store, like milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items like "cumin" or "tofu." For all I know, these are the same thing.
- Because I'm a man, when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another man shows up, one of us will say to the other, 'I used to be able to fix these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't know where to start.' We will then drink a couple of beers and break wind, as a form of Holy Communion.
- Because I'm a man, when one of our appliances stops working, I will insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as much once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together.
- Because I'm a man, I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole show looking for it, though one time I was able to survive by holding a calculator instead (applies to engineers only).
- Because I'm a man, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie.
Chances are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't ... and if you are feeling amorous afterwards
... then I will certainly at least remember the name and recommend it to others.
- Because I'm a man, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it, looks fine.. It does not make your rear look too big. It was the pasta and potatoes and Margaritas that did that. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now?
- Because I'm a man, and this is after all, the year 2011, I will share equally in the housework. You just do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, the vacuuming, and the dishes, and I'll do the rest; like wandering around in the garden with a beer, wondering what to do.

The Secrets of a Long Marriage

Will and Guy's Marital Advice
The secret to a happy marriage for men is choosing a wife who is smarter and at least five years younger than you, UK experts have suggested to Will and Guy. These pairings are more likely to go the distance, particularly if neither has been divorced in the past, according to researchers at Bath University, England. The work is published in the European Journal of Operational Research. The researchers studied interviews of more than 1,500 couples who were married or in a serious relationship. Five years later, they followed up 1,000 of the couples to see which had lasted. They found that if the wife was five or more years older than her husband, they were more than three times as likely to divorce than if they were the same age. If the age gap is reversed, and the man is older than the woman, the odds of marital bliss are higher.Is This The Secret To A Happy Marriage?
