The Queen Has An Issue

Sometimes it's tough being a man.  Especially when you come home and look lovingly into the eyes of your one true love and say to yourself, "Aww, man!  There's trouble afoot!"  If this scenario should fall upon you, remember to stick to the preset rules of survival:

1. Establish if you are the root cause.  I have found in my experience that if you are, the easiest way of survival is to throw yourself immediately at the mercy of the court, or, if possible, divert the anger to someone else (a good reason to have children).
2. If you are NOT the root cause, you will find that most women just want to talk about whatever the issue is.  In this instance, the best survival tactic is to just listen.  However, this is extremely difficult for men, since God did not find it necessary to give us an attention span that can process more than one thought at a time .  AND, it is very rare for a man to come home with that one thought being:  "Today, I'm going to be a GOOD listener!"
3. You discover that your kids are the root cause and have been "off the hook" or have repeatedly done something that brings upon the need for you to assume the role of the enforcer and, if needed, the terminator. Which, as a rule of survival, is good for you...not so good for them.
4. When her gaze tells you there is no time to establish the cause, you just know whatever happened, she's made up her mind...EVERYONE is going to suffer for this one...at which point your only option  is to just run.

Good luck, boys!  Remember...For better or for worse!

Ephesians 5:28~ So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies.  He who loves his own wife loves himself.
