Sometimes I will find some funny articles via the net. Such as the couple rules as follows:
The housework: Husband doesn't think there are many housework, but the wife always finds unlimited housework.
Washing dishes: Wife cleans the dishes and husband breaks the dishes.
Home: Wife misses home when she goes out, once a husband goes out he doesn't like going home.

Hello youless. It is interesting to read this discussion, but I don't think that it is one hundred percent like that. In fact, I often help my wife with not only the housework like washing the dishes and such (she cooks and I wash), and I love to accompany my wife a lot because we almost always go somewhere together, believe it or not. How is Mr. Youless?

It's very nice of you who won't break the dishes My husband is unwilling to wash the dishes and so do I. But there is no way, we have to do it in turn and it will be fair I have to say that he cleans the dishes better than me, as I ever tried to break the dishes but it was not on purpose

Good afternoon, youless. Thank you for the best response. It is a good idea to do things in turn so that both parties can share doing the same things. In fact, my son also washes dishes after lunch and I wash the dishes after breakfast and dinner while my wife does the cooking. Of course, sometimes my wife also washes the dishes. I appreciate my wife for her taking the trouble to cook for us. Good day, youless.

I guess it is all a dig at some of the common behavior found in most couples after they are married.
They do not apply to all couples though. But they are darn funny to read at times!
Thanks for sharing my friend!

Hello youless. I must say that i am a bit like wili in this one. At the moment my girlfriend has 2 colleges to attend to and i have just one, so usually if we are together, i get the things done (like dishes, garbage, or preparing food). And talking about dishes, so far i haven't broken any, but she managed to damage 1 cup ;)

These rules are funny but there's some truth in it. I guess some husbands "break the dishes" when they are too mad or too drunk.
I am so blessed with a husband that is more than willing to do household chores when I am too lazy or too tired to do it.

The difference between men and women is the attitude. Most married women will quickly settled marriage life while men, always think they are unattached. I think there shouldn't be any couple rules in these modern days. When both are breadwinners, both should share equal responsibilities doing the housework too. It is just sad that some men have the mentality that women job cooking, cleaning and looking after the children and as an added bonus, bringing home supplementary income. This really should change.

Hi youless! haha..That is really funny and you can't help but find that there is some truth to that! It is true that when I am out of the house, I missed it. I asked my husband about this and he said that when he goes out, he does not miss the house that much but it is me that he misses much. "Good Answer!" LOL.. I just can't be sure if he is just pulling my leg on that.
Take care and have a great day!

there is only one rule in our house for us couples, and that is say whats on your mind. i am not a wizard to think what is on my wife's mind and she is not a wizard too. so what ever is in our minds we have to say it. in that way we dont sleep with our chest so heavy for we wanted to do things but was not done because we are shy to say. last night i was asking my wife what she wanted to do for she is always inside the house. if she wants to do something alone or if she wants to go out. she just said nothing, and she said she loves being in the house. then after five minutes she said she wants to go to Mcdonalds. har har har. so later we will be going at Mcdonalds.

Wife throws dishes to the husband and husband catches it.
I heard this in a joke LOL!
I am not married yet and I really feel surprising that this could be true! Husband never misses the home while wife always misses! I mean wife remains at home most of the time and thus she should less miss it than husband who hardly be at home!

After I married for 2 years, I think washing dishes is :Wife cleans the dishes clean and husband doesn't really clean it, so the wife will clean it once more, and beg her husband stops cleaning dishes. ^.^ HAHA
Sometimes, I was afraid my husband went to our kitchen, he probably would mess it up.

When I see things like this in today's world where women are clearly the person taking care of the home and children, AND also bringing home a full time income, it makes me wonder why so many women are desperate to find a husband. For What? Sounds like all they need is another child under foot.
But just say the woman is looking after the home and children and the husband is bringing home the income or something else of value, then these relationship rules could also state, (in my partner's defense) that the engine light is just a suggestion to a woman, or fat tape and paint will patch the wall fine and duct tape and contact cement are fine for home repair.
I am just saying that if it is an equal loving relationship then each person will likely be giving into the relationship what it needs, if not then it is likely they are unhappily involved which is sad.

I am 41 and never-married. When people ask why I simply respond... "As I recall, slavery was abolished years ago." Statistics differ but agree that the woman ends up doing the majority of housework and childcare, even in a two income family. When a child becomes ill at school, who is generally called from work to get them? The mother. I recall one man I was dating standing in front of the open fridge. He got what he wanted from it, turned to me as he was closing the door and said... "I think you should throw the milk out, it's expired." Now I ask you... He was standing RIGHT THERE... Why couldn't he just have done it? And lets not mention the little drips get on the toilet seat, down the front and on the floor in front of the bowl. BUT, offer him a $10 bet and he could make it through the hole of a cheerio at ten feet! Naw, I prefer not to participate in these "couple rules" thanks. ;)
