    Secret to a happy relationship......

    Never ask a spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend or significant other where they would like to for dinner to celebrate a special event.

    NEVER.

    Instead, ask them to guess where you're taking them to dinner......then take them to the first place they guess.

    Everything is fine here.

    A friend of mine sent that to me and both my wife and I thought it was funny.

    So, I wanted to share it.

    Well, I’d always heard that if you are married, you have two choices.

    You can be right.
    Or you can be happy.

    A very good friend of mine, during a time of deep reflection and intense ponderment on the mysteries of the universe, (possibly alcohol induced) had an observation on cars and women. (Have never figured out if he was genius or demented)

    He surmised: “Women are like old British cars, absolutely beautiful to look at, great fun to play with, ..... but ain’t none of them wired right.” :-)

    It Worked Great!

    We've been married for 31 years and together for 37 so this was excellent advice, truly excellent.
