But if we had to had to bribe the pundit to read out the top 10
commandments of what a husband must never mention to his wife
insteadof wedding vows, this is what it would look like. 1. "Maybe you
should go on a diet."
Yes, looking after your house and keeping it habitable has affected
howshe looks but if you can't compliment her , don't everlet her hear
this one. Especially when you're sitting with your perfect tyre in
place.
2. "Why don't you work as long as me?"
Yes, we get it. You're irritated and need to spark off an argument but
talking about what a great sacrifice you make by working is not going
to help anyone. Especially if she's quit her own job to look after the
house and kids. 3. "Anand from Accounts is …."
No, your wife doesn't wantto know about office gossip. When you're
home, she wants you to listen to her not your work problems. At least
not every day!
4. "That one looks hot!"
If you have ever said this to your wife while checking out another
woman and lived to survive the tale, you know what a landmine this
sentence is loaded with.
5. "I don't feel like talking."
This can be excused if used sparingly. However, if you want to prevent
communication problems in your relationship then you better learn to
have anopen channel all the time.
6. "All you do is nag."
Desist from ever saying this. Your wife's already short fuse will be
completely blown if you such this incendiary sentence.
7. "Why do you want to go shopping again?"
Yes, she knows you hate it. But you need to entertain her too and if
she likes to go shopping, then tough luck. Deal with it, don't
complain about it.
8. "You're not really wearing that, are you?"
Unless you're Narendra Kumar Ahmed or Sabyasachi Mukherjee,
questioning her sartorial choices so bluntly is going to cause a major
fight. Try and suggest your picks in amore delicate manner.
9. "Must be that time of the month."
If you think you can use this line as a weapon for a clever retort,
you've got another thing coming. This can be one of the most
insulting, not to mention sexist, things you can ever say to your
wife.
10. "You're acting like your mother."
The biggest no-no. No woman likes to be compared to another woman,
especially her mother. Bear in mind you're also passing a judgement on
her mother with this one. Unless you want to spend an entire year
apologising, refrain from ever using this line during your entire
marriage.
A marriage is a union between two different people and it can be
perfect only if both the people accept each other as they are.
