Men listen to your wives!

[ChemEngineer]

​ I have been reflecting on my own stupidity and how my life was profoundly enriched and made wonderful by the woman who chose me, more than I chose her. As a teenager in college, I was on the fast track to nowhere, despite thinking I was a pretty smart guy. My wife to be knew she wanted to marry me because she was decades ahead of me in wisdom. She was the oldest of six girls and had more responsibility than she ever wanted, but it made her my wonderful wife. On the contrary, I grew up alone and without a father to guide and teach me. I deeply regret my countless stupid actions and I am certainly not alone. So my advice to all young men and boys is simply this: LISTEN to the women in your lives, and listen good! They mature before we do. They are more social and sensible than we are, for sure. I can't believe some of the stupid **** I did. "Yes dear" is your wisest response. I know from decades of successful marriage to an angel. Sixty-four percent (64%) of atheists are men. Eighty percent (80%) of suicides are men. Ninety-three percent (90%) of prisoners are men. Are you getting the point? Starting with your first date, treat your lady with kindness, patience and gratitude for the blessings she will bestow upon your otherwise miserable life. You will never regret spoiling and taking the best care of her in every way possible - vacations, gifts, notes, sweet talk. But you will suffer long term for getting angry and shooting off your mouth when you should have been calm and patient instead. It's too late for me to go back and undo my errors that give me grief every single day. It's not too late for you young men to get your minds right. You hear?!

Growing up we were taught: Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit; treat it accordingly and that is especially true of women. So treat them as you would the most Holy of Holy.

48 years married to the same woman here so I'd call that very poor advice.

Man-up and be the master of your household but work together with your wife toward the same shared goals.

I think my wife and I benefited from a bit of push-pull between our different personalities. I'm the risk taker, she's quite cautious. I was pretty reckless with investments and drinking too much. She convinced me to reign in my tendencies and I got her out of her shell to try different things and not treat everything like it's work.

And don't be so proud that you can't say you are sorry...

I passed on several wonderful gals because I was so enjoying my single life. When I finally did marry it was to the wrong woman. I have regretted it ever since (we soon divorced, and I haven't had the heart to remarry).
