My Brother-in-law & Other Stories

A happy family

We heard mass one early morning last week and we liked the priest's explanation of  the gospel of the day, interpreting the true meaning of  peace and happiness  in the home.  He  told us the story of how two husbands kept their families happy.

His first story was that of a husband who follows everything that his wife was asking him to do.  If she asked  him to take her to a  movie,  he would take her to the movie;  if she asked him to take her and the children to the beach, he would take them to the beach; if she asked  him to take  her to go shopping,  they  would go shopping. In other words, everything that his wife asked  him to do, he would do it for her .  

On the other hand,  the second husband was telling his story  that he kept his wife   happy by doing  every thing that his wife does not like to do .  His wife does not like to wash the laundry, so he  does the washing; she does not like to cook, so he does the cooking; she does not like to wake up in the middle of the night to feed the baby, so he does the feeding.  In other words, all that his wife does not like to do, he would do it for her.

Both husbands have happy families!
