Thanks Curious,it’s great to be reminded of and to work on these aspects 🙂
God bless.
 
I will second the note that men like food. Women might find it odd that men can be completely happy with a pan of brownies (without the fork even). Pure, unadulterated joy can be given to a man with just simple, but good food.

We men are weird, I know.
 
It’s great to have you Catholics around. I may not agree 100% with all you guys think, but you’re good people, of that I’m sure!
 
I was taught chivalry and respect towards women. Women like food, too. Although the women I know tend to be more delicate eaters. Not to imply men can’t be.

Of course - and guess what, women love food too. What they don’t love is if they’re expected to do all the cooking or cleaning. What they also dont love is when the eating reaches an unhealthy level, especially because we are more.judged by our looks and our weight than men.
 
I like to add to that list and we will call it Milt’s rule number 1 for a long successful and happy marriage.

Here goes, and this is for men only.

Under no circumstance never ever, and I mean never buy your wife a vacuum cleaner as a gift especially for Christmas, birthdays, and anniversaries.

Not only is it very tacky, but you will seriously hurt her feelings.

I do however plead the 5th amendment (the one that prevents self incrimination) 🙃
 
Yeah, in Spain we normally use dish-cleaning machines. You Americans don’t normally have them right?
 
Oh, we have them. Most people do I think. Although I’m sure you will find some folks who don’t.
 
In American movies people are normally depicted washing dishes manually rather than putting them in the washing machine
 
That might be to give a more homely feel to the scene.
Washing and drying dishes together if possible gives special time to talk while being occupied .
It’s a time I can talk with my siblings when at my parents,a time I can talk with my husband.
 
A Christian husband:

25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
28 Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body.
Eph 5:25-30

I don’t find it odd. If someone gave me a whole pan of brownies to eat and I didn’t have to worry about gaining any weight eating them, I’d be thrilled to pieces. I would however ask for milk.
 
Before I start, let me say, I am not a feminist by any stretch of the imagination.

But if a wife’s most important job is to get her husband to heaven, should his be to get her there as well? No mention of that anywhere…🤔

When you see that, it’s intended to indicate that either the movie is set in 1970s or before, or the characters are poor, or perhaps are living in a rustic cabin in the woods somewhere.

I’m one of the only people I know who still does dishes in the sink a lot.

I do too. It’s faster for me to just wash them and be done with it.
Plus, I love my dishes and the dishwasher crazes them.
