HA! THat's great! Just the other day I was talking with my (unmarried) brother-in-law. I told him the secret to a successful relationship is just apologising. Don't even wait to find out why she's mad, just assume resposibility, promise to never let it happen again, and apologise. Puts out the fire quicker than anything I've been able to find so far. Looks like I might have been onto something. ;)

yep an "I'M SORRY" never hurts especially when you've got a trailer full of arcade parts in the background :D
-
and, according to the article, sherry and whiskey regularly ;D
-
well the whiskey is used to help make the apology sound sincere.......

Secret to good marriage is to treat them mean but keep them satisfied in the bedroom. This has worked on my last 4 marriages.

Sorry about your testicles.

As best man in my brother's recent wedding, during what I believed to be a very good speech, I offered the following older brotherly advice:
"Keep the toilet seat DOWN, fill the ice cube trays UP, and no matter how much you know something to be true and no matter how wrong you think your beloved might be; she will, for the rest of your life, always be "right."
It's true!

We can't all be macho cro-mag studs like you Chad.

It always bothers me when people give that advice, just acquiesce and things will be fine. That's no more a healthy relationship than a contentious relationship. It's submission, not equity.

Well said. No sissy sitcom husband stuff here either. We work it out. No yelling. I know I'm nuts about things, she knew that going in, and mostly, I just let her talk me down from the ledge when I'm about to do something stupid. If I want to spend too much $ on something, and I MUST have it, I tell her, "don't go up against me on this one", and that's it. I've only had to use that twice. Once for a satellite dish (10+ years ago), and then on my real video poker.
I think, however, she was right about the video poker.

Physical violence toward women is the only way to keep them in line. If you want a woman to respect you, you should cheat on her and make her watch. Then tell her you did it because you love her. When a woman will put up with that then you know she loves you.
Oh wait, this may not be good advice.

Btw, I was joking when I said it. I like to play off stereotypes. That said, there is a place for compromise in a healthy relationship, it isn't always about being contentious.
Since, on the flip-side, having "testicles" does not always make *you* right. Can we stop talking about nutsacks now?

Personally I think Denis Leary said it best. "The secret to a successful marriage? Love, honor, respect and stay the f**k away from each other!"

What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?
Nuffin... you told her twice already!
