Happy Spouse, Happy House

CATEGORY

life

Before I even start, this is for some women, not all. If it don’t apply, let it fly, but if the shoe fit, don’t be mad.

People, people, people, why has society implanted in the mind of women/wives that they are the only ones should be happy and as long as the “wife” is happy, that’s all that matters? We’ve all heard this saying, “Happy Wife, Happy Life.” Now to be fair, there are some men whose happiness only comes from just knowing their wife is happy and they’re ok with that, but there are also some men who are stressed the f out behind this saying.
When it comes to “Happy Wife, Happy Life,” I beg to differ. It should be Happy Spouse, Happy House, because both spouses should be happy.

NEWS FLASH - Sorry to tell you wives, but when yall both got married to each other, both of yall said “I Do.”
You said I do, well then do. “I do” mean, I do care about my husband’s feelings. I do care about his well-being, I do care about his happiness, just as he cares about mine.
If the husband can go out his way to make sure his wife is happy, shouldn’t she do the same? Then again, what is “Happy?” Does that mean he has to buy her material gifts to “make sure” she is happy?

Ok, so he buys you a new car, are you happy and if so, how long does that happiness last before you start bickering and complaining about something, anything, nothing? And if it’s nothing, you gon turn it into something.
Women listen, there are times when you want your man home, but when he’s there all you do is nag and complain. If he’s “playing the game,” you got a problem with that, if he’s watching sports or relaxing, you got a problem with that, if he wants sex, you got a problem with that. You tired, you don’t feel like it and when you do, it's like, “c’mon shoot” with an attitude, like you are doing it just to shut him up. Where is the intimacy, the passion, the turn up and turn on for him? How many times is he supposed to hear you’re tired? Trust me, he tired of just hearing you tired. Please understand, it was something about YOU that he loved that’s why he married YOU and something about HIM that you loved, yall need to figure it out. I’m sure if it was like this before yall got married, yall wouldn’t even be married. Communicate, talk about it, find out what’s wrong and fix it.
Men really do want to be home, they really do, but sometimes you women just gotta Chill.

Away from the job and all the foolishness and issues of the world, your home should be a place of Peace. Your home should be your safe haven where the both of you can relax, unwind and just enjoy each other, not stress each other out.

To the wives - Two people said, “I do.” So stop thinking it’s all about you. It’s not all about you, it’s all about two.
Ask yourself, what do you as a wife think it will take to make you happy and keep you happy? Discuss your feelings with your husband.
And then ask yourself, what real efforts are you putting forth to assure your husband is happy, truly happy? Now keep him happy.

To the husbands - Continue to do what it takes to keep your wife happy, but also know, your happiness is just as important.

Moral of the story - Make sure you have a Happy spouse and keep your home a Happy house.

I know who Won

I know who won, I WON!
This 2024 election has brought trauma, drama, disgrace, disrespect, division, relief, joy, confusion, laughter, tears, smiles and so many mixed emotions.

People are happy he won, people are rejoicing, celebrating, relieved. People are smiling, excited and gloating.
People are sad, distraught, disappointed. People are mad, angry and frustrated. People are hurt, fearful, unhappy and uncertain, all because of who won and who didn’t.

To me, I WON, because I KNOW God!
I won because God is my Provider, not no man, momma, husband or job.
I won because I Trust God. What happened to “In God we trust?”

I won because I have FAITH. Yes, Faith over Fear. What happened to your faith? Why is your faith wavering? Why are you fearful?
The Bible says, “Do not fear NO man, but fear God.”

I won because God is my Shield and my Protector. ...

The Prediction of God Bless America

When it comes to “this” generation, many (if any) do not know about the songs we sung faithfully and wholeheartedly each and every morning at school.
I was born in the sixties and even in the seventies and so forth, I remember, every morning in class, before our day began, we all had to stand and place our hand across our chest and pledge allegiance to the flag.
We sung songs that represented unity, songs that meant something. We were taught to love THIS country. We were United. (At least that’s what the younger me thought)

Now for those who may not know, this is the Pledge of Allegiance.

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

As of today, from my understanding, not ALL states require their schools to say the Pledge of Allegiance, which once again proves my point tha...

I’m Faithful to your Wife

Yeah, I am, very faithful.

My question begins with, why do men cheat?
Now I know women cheat too, but right now, I’m talking about the men. So like I said, “Why do men cheat?”

First and foremost, they shouldn’t be flirting or even entertaining another woman. If you go out, then go out, hang with yo boys, have you a few drinks and go home to YOUR wife. Yes, your “for life” wife.

Second, it could be because they meet women and are not honest about the fact that they are married or even in a relationship. So in this case, the other woman is unaware and doesn’t know.

Third, it could be that they are honest and the other woman doesn’t care, and now this easily opens up the door for infidelity.

Me, I’ve seen this rodeo. Hell, I even rode this rodeo.
Yes, I’ve been down this road before so I will tell you from my experienc...

I Do

In a marriage, what is “for life?” or, until death do you part?
Or is it until one cheats, gets sick, loses their job, go to jail, get on drugs, become abusive…? Because if neither one of yall are dead and death did not part yall, then why are yall apart? Why are you divorced?

When you got married, you said, “I Do.” You do what?
You do wanna leave, you do want a divorce, you do want out, you do want to cheat, you do wanna have your cake and eat it too…?

You do wanna hit your wife, you do want to be abusive, you do want to be controlling?
You do wanna lie, you do want to be disrespectful, you do want to fuss and complain, you do want to gamble, you do wanna hang out all night…?

Or, is it that your “I Do” mean, you do want your family, you do want it to last, you do want to be faithful, you do want to be trustworthy, you do wanna communicate, you do want to build and grow tog...

Are you ready for some Football?

Are you ready? I mean, are you REALLY ready for some football?
Are you ready for some yelling, some fun, some cussing, some drinking, partying and tailgating?

Are you ready for some fussing, some trash talking, some controversies, some laughter, some excitement, some missed calls, some dropped passes, some intercepts, some cheating, some fumbles, some missed field goals, some touchdowns, some overtime, some down to the wire wins?

Are you ready for some drunkenness, some over eating, some over spending, the moods and attitudes, some Sports Center Highlights? Better yet, are you ready for work on Monday?

Football definitely supplements the city’s income.
Is the hosting city ready for an economic boost, the crowds, the fans, the visitors, the traffic jams, the clean ups???
Are you ready to pay for parking violations and tows?

Are the players and coaches ready for so...

Up, up and away

Heyyy friend, since we always UP to something, I wanna give a tribute to the word UP, because everyday of our life we do something meaningful with the word up.
So with that being said, I wanna know, what’s UP with you?
How many of these UPs did you do today?

hurry up, stand up, start up, write up
raise up, speed up, mark up, fill up
come up, pull up, step up, climb up
drive up, straighten up, cheer up, tear up
rise up, lift up, run up, clean up, buckle up

chin up, pin up, put up, shut up
get up, sit up, hit up, spit up

woke up, broke up, spoke up
boot up, toot up, man up, hand up
chew up, blew up, screw up
walk up, talk up, hype up, type up

dress up, mess up, fold up, hold up
wake up, make up, break up
toss up, boss up, lay up, pay up
look up, hook up, took up, shook up
tighten up, lighten up, wrap up, strap up

save up, gave up, head up, made...

Bad Boys

Alright ladies, what you gon do when they come for you?

He said, “Hey Cutie,” that’s all she heard
And he made her smile with just those two words

What is it about you Bad Boy that got her so hooked?
What is it about you, is it the way that you look?
Is it yo style, yo flow, is it yo smile or yo swag?
Is it the fact that you can buy her that expensive Birkin bag?

She want a drug dealer, a hood boy, yeah she like the gangster
She don’t want no nice, quiet, nerdy boy, nobody wants a wangster

She want the one that’s rough, all tattooed, a lil rowdy
The one with the saggy pants that’ll pull a trigger, no doubt about it
She want the one that’s tough with the words he say
And even if he abuse her, she’ll just look the other way
Oh he said he sorry, it won’t happen no mo
He said that as he watched the blood from her head just flow

Some women protect the Bad Boy...

You woke up

You woke up late
You woke up tripping
You woke up hot
You woke up on the wrong side of the bed
You woke up with mad
You woke up grateful
You woke up lonely
You woke up with a headache
You woke up happy
You woke up sad
You woke up horny
You woke up feeling bad
You woke up tired…
But the good news is… You woke up.

Biden

Back in the day we used to put our hand out towards someone else’s face and say “Bye,” as if to say, “Bye, get out my face.”
Just imagine Biden telling you, “Bye then, imma go, get out yo face and be gone.”

You saying I should be replaced and get out the race - Biden
You saying I’m too old - Biden
You saying I’m unfit and not fit for office - Biden
You want me to step down, step off and step out - Biden
You saying I can’t win… Well Biden

But you want me to pass the “Stress” test right?
So what you are saying is, in order to “pass” the stress test, I need to pass it on to the next person… Got it!
Well, you know what my response is to that? Biden

You saying I should relax, retire and enjoy the rest of my life… Well I should and I just might.
Let somebody else deal with this mess of a stress, load off my chest… Just remember, there’s no mending, our relationship is e...
