"I once asked my friend, "What is the secret behind
your happy married life?" He replied,"You should share
responsibilities with due love, and respect to each other. Then absolutely
there will be no problems. "I asked, "Can you explain?"
He said, "In my house, I take decisions on bigger
issues whereas my wife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each
other's decisions. "Still not convinced, I asked him to give me some
examples.
He said, "Smaller issues like how many kids to
have, the neighbourhood to live, which car we should buy, how much money to
save, who, when and where to visit, which sofa, cooker, refrigerator to buy,
monthly expenses, whether to keep a maid or not, where to go for holidays,
whose mum we should visit etc, etc, are decided by my wife. I just agree to
it."
I then asked, "So then what is your role?” He
said, "My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether America
should attack Iran, the uranium enrichment in North Korea, whether Britain
should lift sanctions against Zimbabwe, how to fully exploit Africa's economic
and intellectual potential, whether Yoweri Museveni and Barack Obama should
retire, whether Arsenal FC needs to buy new players or change their coach to
improve their play, whether Usain Bolt should retire now-while still at his
prime etc, etc. My wife never objects to any of these decisions and we live
happily!"
