New Delhi:
Dear husbands, you might have been secretly wincing with inward sympathy as a hapless Farhan Akhtar sings Vyah Karke Pachtaya and complains that not even Albert Einstein would know which side of a towel was the 'wrong' one. And ladies, Vidya Balan's wifely responses might strike a chord.
Marriages are hard work, every single day. But a side of cheery humour - doled out by men and women who seem to know what they are talking about - helps. (All quotes below courtesy brainyquote.com)
Author Oscar Wilde, famous for his wit: How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
Benjamin Franklin, inventor of bifocals: Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.
Muhammad Ali, The Greatest: My toughest fight was with my first wife.
Socrates, twice married by all accounts: By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
The much-married Woody Allen: In my house I'm the boss, my wife is just the decision maker.
Former American President Lyndon B Johnson: I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. First, let her think she's having her own way. And second, let her have it.
President Johnson's Vice-President Hubert H Humphrey: Behind every successful man is a proud wife and a surprised mother-in-law.
Eleanor Roosevelt, beloved former American First Lady: I used to tell my husband that, if he could make me 'understand' something, it would be clear to all the other people in the country
Agatha Christie, spinner of literary crimes and wife of archaeologist Max Mallowan: An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her
We'll end with this parting shot, said by Anon: Before shaadi, a man stays awake all night thinking about what you said. After shaadi, he's asleep before you can say it. (As side effects go, this one is probably universal)
