Once X asked Y, "What
is the secret behind your happy married life?"
Y said, "You should
share responsibilities with due love and respect to each other. Then absolutely
there will be no problems."
X asked, "Can you explain?"
Y said,
"In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as my wife decides on
smaller issues. We do not interfere in each other's decisions."
Still not
convinced, X asked Y "Give me some examples"
Y said, "Smaller issues like
which car we should buy, how much amount to save, when to visit home town, which
Sofa, air conditioner, refrigerator to buy, monthly expenses, whether to keep a
maid or not etc are decided by my wife. I just agree to it"
X asked,
"Then what is your role?"
Y said, "My decisions are only for very big
issues. Like whether America should attack Iran, whether Britain should lift
sanction over Zimbabwe, whether to widen African economy, whether Sachin
Tendulkar should retire etc. Do you know one thing, my wife NEVER objects to any of these".
