A man and his wife were traveling to a distant city in the man's car. Halfway, they were attacked by some armed robbers who successfully overpowered them.

The man and the wife were made to leave the car.

"I just need one thing from you," the leader of the armed robbers said. He looked at the man's beautiful wife and then looked at his expensive and elegant car.

"What do you want me to do?" the man asked, looking at the robbers.

"Rather than killing the two of you, I want you to either give me your wife or your car!"

The man was terrified. He looked at his beautiful wife and sighed. He looked at his expensive car and shook his head negatively.

"Do not waste our time!":bigfrown The leader barked

The man finally looked at the wife, and then at the car and finally said: "You can take both of them!!!"

"Why?" he asked the man, his face frowned into confusion. "I said release one for us."

"You can take both of them!!!!" The man said again. His boldness was obvious.

"Why would you want to release both?"
He looked at the leader of the armed robbers and then looked at both the wife and car and said: "You can take both of them - for both of them cost me money to maintain. :lol
 
he can't afford the high maintenance

While some men are at times mean when it comes to spending some women are unnecessarily greedy, putting these guys into troubles.
----

Just imagine the woman who cries to the husband:
the children starve
the children starve
Oh bring some money and lets fills the pots,
our bellies are empty!!!:crying

The man gives her some dough, a 100 bucks. Woman smiles, goes to the nearest salon and squanders the money on her head:bigfrown

And when asked, How about the pots, she says: cleanliness first.

What kind of woman is that?
 
a jobless woman , plain housewife maybe ;) if she has her own income she won't beg to the husband for a makeover...

but not all jobless and plain housewives are like that, take for example the wife in Proverbs 31: 10-31

The Wife of Noble Character

10 A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still night;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate
 
And where are those women today? Few in a trillion.

And where are the good guys today? Few in a billion.
 
O yeah! And what happens along that road of marriage? A lamb transforms into a wolfe:bigfrown

You know, most women love one of the Laws of motion: To every force there is equal and opposite....
:lol

tsk,tsk (thinking)...:shrug
 
Now observe the man how he talk to his mother and sister coz that's the way he would talk to wife in the long run...(observe the woman how he talk to her dad and brother/sis)
 
God blessed the guys with such a tolerant heart. But most women have a destructive mouth, can set a city ablaze....

A charity organisation was donating some dough to some widows. The widows were asked to line up. They did.

A woman whose husband is still alive joined the line. The husband went to her and asked her: "Wht are you doing? I'm still alive!"

She said: "You are a living ghost - you are as dead."

in this case , the woman is totally trumpling her husband's pride. I believe that it's biblical that the man should be the main provider of family, the woman is there to be his partner ,helper and supporter. If God is the center of their relationship then respect will just always be there.
