"The happiest of couples don't have the best of everything,

They just make the best of everything."

My Mother wrote this in a card to me, almost 50 years ago. And it still means the same thing today.

Always treat your spouse with the same affection and respect in your home as you would in public.

I absolutely love that!!! Thanks for sharing.

Best way to never cheat on your wife.

Don't put yourself in that situation. Go home, not to bars. Don't flirt and don't insinuate.

 

Me.

Let me tell a quick story......

 

You are walking along a plain road that leads straight home. Stay on the road and you will get home with no problems. You look to the left and see a beautiful field filed with colorful and exotic flowers. You want to walk through this field and experience it. Now if you just go straight you will be home, but the field is too alluring. You think "I'll just walk to the field and then go home. No one will know."

 

You walk in the field and realize it is actually a cesspool. You smell like excrement. Everyone can tell you walked through the cesspool. People talk about it at work and your spouse can't stand to be with you. Your children only talk to you because the have to, but they would rather not be near you. You can't shake the smell or the stain.

 

All you had to do was stay on the road and you would have gone home.

 

That is adultery.

You can find everything you need at Walmart, including a wife.

Oldog75, give me a little piece of wisdom from your many years of marriage.

 

Try your best to out kick your coverage.

 

Be funny, it helps get you out of tight spots.

 

If you go out to parties, bar, family cookouts, give her the keys as soon as you get there.

 

Buy comfy sofas, you may find yourself there a few times.

 

Learn to load a dishwasher.

 

Accept the fact that as soon as you wake up, you're wrong. Just go ahead and tell her you're sorry.

 

Fix up a man cave or shed 'cause dog houses are really too small....I know.

 

Accept the fact if you leave money in your pants on wash day, it's already been donated. Don't try to locate it, don't even bring it up.

 

Get an additional TV, unless you want to watch The Bachelor or Dancing with the Stars, or a "cough up a lung story" on Lifetime channel.

 

Learn to cuddle, it's like a sacrifice bunt. You have to take one for the team if you know what I mean.

 

Keep a secret stash of cabbage for jewelry and dinners.
