Should You Compliment Your Wife?

Joe had asked Bob to help him out with the deck after work,
so Bob went straight over to Joe’s place. When they got to
the door, Joe went straight to his wife, gave her a hug and
told her how beautiful she was and how much he had missed
her at work. When it was time for supper, he complimented
his wife on her cooking, kissed her and told her how much
he loved her.

Once they were working on the deck, Bob told Joe that he was
surprised that he fussed so much over his wife. Joe said
that he’d started this about 6 months ago, it had revived
their marriage and things couldn’t be better.

Bob thought he’d give it a go. When he got home, he gave his
wife a massive hug, kissed her and told her that he loved
her. His wife burst into tears.

Bob was confused and asked why she was crying. She said,
“This is the worst day of my life. First, little Billy fell
off his bike and twisted his ankle. Then, the washing
machine broke and flooded the basement. And now, you come
home drunk!”
