2007-10-10: Secret of a Happy Marriage #2
I rub my wife’s feet. A lot. This makes her very happy. Which makes me very happy. Many of my friends don’t do this. I don’t know why. It’s so simple.
Last night while rubbing my beloved’s feet, I asked, rhetorically, is there anything more important to a happy marriage than the foot rub? She thought for just a beat, and replied serenely, “the back scratch.” Eminently reasonable. “That’s all?” “That’s it.”
A few moments later I asked, “Does it have anything to do with the shoe thing?” “Yes, totally related.” Silence. “Why?” One beat later, she purred, “Because we must have pretty shoes. Bur pretty shoes make our feet sore. Can’t help it. Must have pretty shoes…”
This was as secret wisdom emanating from Olympus itself! We humans often utter Truth under the influence of various… influences. Know then, Men, these two things about the foot rub: a) it renders a blissful state upon the woman so that she can utter Pure Truth, to your benefit; and b) it mitigates the pain of the Pretty Shoes, which in turn grants much marital peace and bliss. Go forth and practice this wisdom, then, for it will bring you great joy.
