Once Joe asked Tom, “What is the secret behind your happy married life?”
Tom said, “You should share responsibilities with due love and respect to each other. Then absolutely there will be no problems.”
Joe asked, “Can you explain?”
Tom said, “In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as my wife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each other’s decisions.”
Still not convinced, Joe asked Tom “Give me some examples”
Tom said, “Smaller issues like which car we should buy, how much amount to save, when to visit home town, which Sofa, air conditioner, refrigerator to buy, monthly expenses, whether to keep a maid or not etc are decided by my wife. I just agree to it”
Joe asked, “Then what is your role?”
Tom said, “My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether America should attack Iraq, whether Britain should lift sanctions over Zimbabwe, whether to widen African economy, whether Brett Favre should retire etc. Do you know one thing, my wife NEVER objects to any of these”.
