There’s a reason men and dogs are best friends, we’re simple-minded, trusting, loyal and easily content. And there’s the breath thing too.

Marry a dragon, you'll need a flagon. That kinda sums my life as a terrified villager. Here's a picture the kids took recently.

Amen. It is the saying of the "men" who are pu*sy whipped. Led around by the wife who holds the dog leash, and the "man" wears a collar around his neck.
And there are lots of relationships like that. Pitiful.

And neither one of you have probably ever used the term "happy wife, happy life" to describe your relationship.

I concur that wimmins are not wired to be happy. Rarely do they have "enough".

Unless of course, they have enough.

Once you are man enough to be a real husband, you know, the kind described in scripture, then your wife will be happy.

So indeed, happy wife, happy life.

You fellas that throw out the P-whipped comments always interest me. I would assume you are the guys that have not had to forfeit half your stuff over the big D.
I swore to myself the second time, I was going to have the courage to be a real husband, and any woman could take it or leave it.

Hitting 23 years in march.
And yes, I have a happy life.

I think a lot of guys just don’t want to admit they think with their pekker, and it guided them to the wrong woman.

"Happy wife, happy life" is intended as a causal statement. In other words everyone's happiness is dependent upon the wife's happiness.

You wisely observed the chain does not being with her happiness, but with the husbands leadership.

Women want to be lead. The man who says "happy wife, happy life" is letting the woman lead, and she will lead him straight to divorce court.

Yep. The Bible gives a good description on how a husband should treat a wife. It also does the same for how the wife should treat her husband. If both followed these instructions, there’d be a lot more happy marriages.
