Learn to Train Your Wife

Need some humor? I laughed so hard I cried.

Mods and admins, I did not look at how scantily she was clothed and I have done some editing. If you would like more, I can and will do so. Please advise me.

You might watch Shakespeare's "Taming the Shrew" It is a more realistic process.
I feel obliged to tell you it is likely illegal in the USA.

"Taming of the Shrew" was a great movie.

" In this film adaptation of the classic Shakespeare play, Grumio (Cyril Cusack) and Hortensio (Victor Spinetti) both long to wed the same beautiful young woman. Unfortunately, her wealthy father (Michael Hordern) will not let his daughter marry unless her hot-tempered sister, Katherina (Elizabeth Taylor), also has a suitor. Luckily, the slovenly Petruchio (Richard Burton) is looking for an affluent woman to marry, so Grumio and Hortensio pay him to try to woo the extremely volatile Katherina. "

and Petruchio hasn't got a dungeon - only a basement.
He 'gently' teaches her that her joy depends on his trust and on pleasing him.
Would it work in real life?
If you choose the right woman you won't need to find out.

At a picnic once I caught my wife's attention and held up my empty beer can.
She brought me a fresh one, not a word spoken except a thank you. My nephew looked at me and said that was amazing. I said yea, she's trained and she doesn't even realize it. He held up his can and his wife brought him a fresh one. While she was still standing close I said see, she has no idea. She said what so I told her. She grabbed the beer out of her husband's hand and stormed off and told my wife what I said.
I had to get my own beer from then on but it was funny.
Training wives and herding cats have a lot in common.

I am sure that there are people who have married the wrong person and paid dearly for it, men and women alike. Some have divorced and gotten out. Others did not have that ability.

There is a great musical twist on the taming of the shrew titled "Kiss me Kate"

That @ThePrincess. My sister and myself watched recently

I should watch the Richard Burton version.

I do like Shakespeare. His ability in spinning words into a fabric is amazing..

I didn't realize it "Kiss me Kate" was a twist on Taming of the Shrew. I will watch it.
I have been thinking of trying to go through Shakespeare's books and watching the movies. There is a summer theatre production in Boulder, Colorado in the summers where productions are done of Shakespeare's plays. I have been to a few of them.

 

[Weedygarden]

"Taming of the Shrew" and "Kiss me Kate" are both available on Amazon Prime. I needed something new to watch.

I am a fan of his stuff. Once I get used to his old English phraseology he is a howl. I liked Keneth Brandow (sp?) Version of Much to Do About Nothing and Hamlet.

A Midsummer night dream is also good.

His (Shakespeare) histories are are inspiring.

I had forgotten about all of these movies with Kenneth Branagh. There really are some good ones. Some of these movies I like to watch a couple times to better understand them.

I had to fix your post. Hope you don't mind. Public safety.
Been there, barely escaped.

Ditto that!

Another twist on "Taming of the Shrew" is the classic John Wayne flick "McClintock!". That's my favorite version of the story and showcases just how funny the Duke could be when he wanted to be...

I hope I can find that to watch. I have a vague memory of that show.

Same here. Glad that mess is a way in the rear view mirror.

McClintock is a great movie.

I laughed at your post, but in all honesty, I realize it is not all funny. Relationships have caused great pain for many of us.

The Skippy apron looks like something out of 1950 Las Vegas.
Why would any man believe this?!??!

I don't believe men would. And what woman would act this way? I think it is meant to be humor.

Granted, her apron came down to her knees, but the wife headed out to work dressed pretty much like that. My decision was to tell her before she left the house. It was -20℉ outside so I didn't think she would make it to the car let alone work. This way I get to remind her of it for the rest of our lives.
