Hello Deniz22 a fantastic Friday to you. I hope this finds you well. I enjoyed your free martial advice, though I'm not married anymore. While being humorous there were some good gems of advice in there, thanks for sharing. Have a great day!

Thank you, my friend! I appreciate your appreciation of my efforts!

Thank you for sharing. What I don't understand is why when a husband finally admits he screwed up and won't do it again, the corrected behavior only lasts as long as he thinks we are over being angry then it reverts right back to the same old behavior. WHY????? We simply repeat the argument.

And you are not "over being angry" are you? So aren't you both kidding yourselves? He at least wants to please you enough that he acknowledges being the cause of your displeasure, but perhaps he is unable to meet your standards on a day to day basis.
The wedding vows of another time included the phrase " for better or for worse" and the vow was to God, not the man. Perhaps fully accepting him as he is and focusing on his better qualities will bring about changes you rightfully hope for?
God bless you and your husband, Dennis

There's a lot more to this than I said. I'm not asking anything difficult or unreasonable.

It's complicated, these relationships. I sympathize.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Well written.
I hope this is a satire and hyperbole, because the advice sucks. but I got the joke. My wife cuts spare socks into rags immediately. Maybe your "worth every cent" comment should be capitalized. lol
Best wishes.

Hey, this advice is free and worth every cent, as advertised. I hope you have some say in which are "spare socks"? I notice every time my lady wants to make room in our mutual closet, it's my stuff she wants to discard...
Thanks for reading and commenting, Dennis
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is so very amusing and so true, except after 50 years. Then men deny they ever knew how to do the things you'd finally convinced them to do over the first 50 years. This was my favorite giggle of the night. Good work.

I see you are still processing him, charting his progress, frowning on his back sliding...(sigh) 'twas ever thus...thanks for reading and commenting, Dennis
Comment from F. William Lester
Very sage advice. Sixty-five years! Holy cow, we're just coming up on fifty, and it seems a lifetime--to both of us. I wonder if I have any redeeming qualities sometimes.
"I'm told some women got together one time and shared their thoughts about what the ideal man would be like. It turns out, they had intellectually created another woman!" This cracked me up. I couldn't stop laughing. My wife tells me this every day.
Good luck with the other sock. Thanks for sharing your story. Be well.

What a fun post. I enjoyed reading your advice. I agree with all of it. Your words are well thought out, there's good flow, and the outcome is suitable. Congratulations on 65 years.
Thanks for sharing and here's to many more years of marriage.

Thanks Jan, but the "outcome" has not yet occurred. Perhaps another eon or so will be the time for an evaluation. Meanwhile, there are things to be worked on...:) God bless, Dennis
Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
Love this piece! Anyone who's married for over ten years will appreciate this. you need a healthy chunk of married time to truly get the humor. I love that you will pick up a sock and get it in the hamper, a pet peeve of mine. Although, I would advise the wives to pick their battles. thanks for the laugh.

Thank you for your remarks. I always appreciate those who appreciate my literary efforts. I admire their keen perceptions and their articulate commendations! :) It's amusing to me to see the wives comments as you aren't the first to get "a pet peeve) in. And the men are, "You got THAT right, brother!"
Thanks for reading and commenting and I wish you well with your "project". Gotta go, wife is yelling something about a "missing sock".
Comment from royowen
There's a funny thing my wife noticed as a teacher in high school, that the nicest girls quite often fancied the drop kick, rebellious boys, her theory was that they wanted to change those miscreant boys into what they considered good men, think that's why scripture says respect your husbands, and men, love your wives. Beautifully written Dennis, some good advice, blessings Roy

How true an observation by your dear wife! And aren't we the happy recipients of the ministrations of a couple of really nice girls! God bless you brother, and thanks for reading and commenting, Dennis

Most welcome

Comment from oliver818
This was a fun read, I like the humour. The doctors name is excellent, Ican Endure- very clever. I read somewhere that famous writers often play with names and since then I've played careful attention to names. This paid off and I once even noticed that a character in a Sherlock Holmes story is called McMurder- it really doesn't seem subtle but he got away with it! Thanks for sharing this and thanks for sharing

Hey, thank you! Does Oliver make a subtle statement, as in "I'm all over this problem, challenge, conflict?
In any case, thanks for reading my suff and commenting, Dennis

Hello Dennis,
I see that the many years of marital bliss have given you some insight into the female mind. Jan and I seem to get along OK. We just celebrated fifty years. Of course there is no end of things that can go wrong, but as long as you're taking a nap, you should be in the clear. Thanks for the sage advice. Have a blessed day.

Hi Tom, thanks for the review. Taking a nap is a good ploy indeed! 😀
