Top 10 Tips for Husbands-to-Be
June (aka “the wedding month”) is only a few months away. If you are getting married this summer, there’s a good chance your wedding day is during the 6th month of the year, June is a popular month to get hitched. Regardless of when your wedding date is, it can always help to hear some advice from wise men who have been married for awhile and have wisdom they are eager to share.
John Shore’s blog post “Embrace Your Wrongness, and 9 Other Tips For Becoming a Better Husband” lists ten humorous yet insightful tips for becoming a better husband. Some of my favorites include:
- Embrace your wrongness. In the course of disagreeing with our wives, what many of we men fail to realize is that, invariably, we’re wrong. We just are. We’re trying to be right — but failing. We can’t help it. It’s the nature of things. Men are bigger, hairier, stronger, and wronger. It’s a fact we should just get used to. God knows our wives have.
- Actually have opinions. Women like men who are clear on what they think, and why they think it. Men, though, enjoy ever waffling. Well, waffles are for kids. Stop it. Commit to thoughts, ideas, and decisions. Sure, you’ll be wrong about whatever it is you decide to think. But you’ll be attractively wrong. Wrong, but studly. That’s the American way.
- Get okay with being late. Women have an internal guide that tells them which things it’s okay to be late for, and which things it’s not. Unfortunately, that guide is written in ancient Venusian. You don’t read ancient Venusian. You don’t read any Venusian. Invest in a hand-held DVD player.
