Thanks to Barb Campbell in Mississippi for sending the next two sections on marriage!

1. You are in control of your own life
2. Marriage is a 50-50 Proposition
3. You should treat your husband like he treats you
4. Your feelings are your guide
5. Your husband needs to earn your respect
6. You should make him pay for your Forgiveness
7. There is no such things as Happy Marriage anymore
8. Your husband's Job is to make you Happy.

The Politically INCorrect Wife- GOD'S WAY
1. Doing things God's way is the key to having a Joyful Life
2. I am 100% responsible to God for my behavior as a wife
3. I'll love my husband unconditionally
4. I will act the way I want to feel
5. Respecting my husband brings glory to God
6. Forgiveness is a choice, not a feeling
7. A Source of power is readily available to help!  It says in Psalms that God is my helper)
8. My joy is not determined through another human being

21ST CENTURY MARRIAGE
I stopped at a florist shop after work to pick up roses for my wife. As the clerk was putting the finishing touches on the bouquet, a young man burst through the door, breathlessly requesting a dozen red roses.

"I'm sorry," the clerk said. "This man just ordered our last bunch."
The desperate customer turned to me and begged, "May I please have those roses?"
"What happened?" I asked. "Did you forget your wedding anniversary?"
"It's even worse than that," he confided. "I crashed my wife's hard drive!"
