What's the secret to a good marriage?

Question

A man took his wife to the Agricultural Show. One of the first exhibits they stopped at was the breeding bulls.

They went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said,

'THIS BULL MATED 50 TIMES LAST YEAR'

The wife playfully nudged her husband in the ribs and said, 'He mated 50 times last year.'

They walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said, '

'THIS BULL MATED 150 TIMES LAST YEAR'

The wife gave her husband a healthy jab and said, 'That's nearly three times a week! You could learn a lot from him.'

They walked to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said, in capital letters,

'THIS BULL MATED 365 TIMES LAST YEAR'

The wife, so excited that her elbow nearly broke her husband's ribs, said, 'That's once a day.You could REALLY learn something from this one The husband looked at her and said, 'Go over and ask him if it was with the same old cow.'

Chuckle, chuckle, belly laugh :)

Answer 14

I think Nikki had a really good answer and some good food for thought. Don't know why she got all the bad reports.

Anyhow, in keeping with the joke - s*x must play a role! If the husband has a beef (no pun intended) about having to shag his wife all the time, then there are clearly some problems. Some find that married s*x can be the best s*x. Surely, after 365 occurrences of the deed, you must know how to do a better job of it. You know what she wants, where she wants to be touched and how. Surely s*x should be worked on and improved along with every other aspect of the relationship. s*x is the real cement. What else sticks like s***n?

Answer 15

That is very good,and I think the 365 is the recipe for a good marrige also not with the same cow.lol

Answer 16

Lol Redhead Good one and yeah ..... beware of the BLUE BULL....:) Lol

Answer 17

Communication. Respect.

Answer 18

So why do some couples seem to live in “happily ever after?” Though we may not want to use the expression, couples who seem to be happier together actually “work at” their marriages. Equating marriage as a job is not something most people want to do but, if we stop and think about it, “working at” a relationship is a good idea. Why? Anything worth having in your life needs maintenance. A marriage needs maintenance and work, too, to keep it in good condition.

But is there a secret to good marriages? No real secrets, just some common sense and courtesy. So here are some “secrets” to having a better marriage.

1. Fight fair-stick to the issue at hand that is causing the fight.

“Sticking to the problem at hand and not going into the past and rehashing old news,” he said.” It serves no purpose other than to use it as a weapon.”

2. Treat your spouse with the respect you would show a stranger.

Familiarity may not always breed contempt but it can breed something just as bad-taking our spouses for granted and not always being polite. It is a fact that, when we are speaking to people we don’t know, we are on our best behavior. We listen to them talk, we show interest in their conversations, we treat them as if they are very important to us. Why? We want to impress them with our politeness, our exquisite manners; our overall “niceness.” Sometimes in marriage we lose this manner of respect. Remembering to treat each other respectfully strengthens a marriage. Be polite, listen to each other the way you would to anyone you wanted to think well of you, let your spouse know they are important to you.

3. Be friends.

Have fun with each other. Friends laugh, they share; they do silly things together.

How often do you laugh with your spouse? What interests do you share together?

This is glue to any relationship. Be a good friend to your spouse.

4. Share the work.

No one wants to feel as if they are someone’s servant. Doing all the household or garden chores is not fun for anyone and can cause an enormous amount of resentment to build up. Don’t just ask if he wants help with the yard work or garden; go out and help him. Don’t just ask if she wants help clearing the table and putting the dishes in the dishwasher, get started and work alongside her. Sharing the work lets you be together and takes the burden off one person.

5. Speak kindly with love in your voice.

There is nothing sweeter for a man or a woman than to hear love when their wife or husband speaks to them. Little endearments like “baby, honey, etc. mean so much. And who doesn’t want to be spoken to with kindness? This is the person you married and with whom you are spending your life!

6. Your marriage is the most important relationship you have. More important than any other you have or will have. This doesn’t take away any other relationships or diminish them in any way. But, your marriage must come first. Enough said?

Working to have a good marriage is definitely worth it. Small changes can have a big impact and, who knows, maybe someday, someone will ask you about your “perfect” marriage!
