He shuffles into the bathroom, finally getting ready to go to bed. The contact case isn’t in its usual spot, so he looks at the second-most usual spot: the floor. He peers down to that one real hard to reach spot between the wall and the counter–the one he secretly hopes no one knows hasn’t been cleaned since they moved in. There, wedged underneath the baseboard heater and topside down in a film of dust is the case.
He musters up his best Archie Bunker voice. “Hey!” he calls out over his shoulder, “why’d you have to go and throw my contact case on the floor?”

Married life is so much fun. 
Your wife is one of the funniest ladies in the world, dude! And, um, K… maybe you should get a new contact case… that one doesn’t seem sanitary anymore… eeeeewwww
I know that in Christian marriages, men are supposed to “lead by example” but it seems that women do (and have to do) most of the teaching =) It’s a beautiful thing. The woman should submit to her husband’s authority, not his unsanitary practices =) Good for you, Sarah!

When we were doing our premarriage counselling, we had this workbook that discussed–among other things–potential problems in relationships. A lot of it was pretty basic stuff. One section talked about how couples communicate and devoted a whole page to unkind words that couples use to manipulate each other featuring all time great one-liners such as “if you were a real man/woman, you…,” “you think you’ve got problems,” or “you always/never blah blah blah.” Hence, the Schmozer’s clever reply.
