With over 18 years of marriage, I've found the public correction thing has high risk and very little return. I’m sure you did it without much thought. However, if I demonstrate some thought and I am creative enough to make it subtle or humorous, I score big. This would have worked for me. If my wife forgot her please or thank you, I could simply start saying it twice every time. For instance, “Please, please pass the butter.” “Thank you, thank you.” Then, when she caught on and asked me why I kept doing that, I would profusely apologize and confess that I had been holding her please and thank you and failed to give it back. Of course she knows the short story about the please that left one little boy that never used him to go live with the one that was always polite. <br /><br />Wow, I hope I get to use this someday. Maybe I should take her out sometime and I might get the chance.DUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748745003521967482noreply@blogger.com
