I asked my friend, “What is the secret behind your happy married life?”
He replied, “You should share responsibilities with love and respect for each other. Then, absolutely, there will be no problems.”
Curious, I pressed further, “Can you explain?”
He smiled and said, “In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues, whereas my wife decides on smaller issues.”
Still not satisfied, I asked for some examples.
He continued, “Smaller issues, like which car to buy, how much to save, when to visit the super market, when and where to go on vacation, which sofa, air conditioner, or refrigerator to buy, monthly expenses, and whether to keep a maid or not, are all decided by my wife. I just agree to whatever she decides.”
Intrigued, I asked, “So, what is your role?”
With a twinkle in his eye, he responded, “My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether America should attack Iran, whether Britain should lift sanctions over Zimbabwe, whether Bodoland should be formed or not, and whether Ronaldo should retire from football.”
He concluded, “And, you know, my wife NEVER objects to any of these decisions…”
