"Respect and trust. It is the only way. Trickiness and deceit will only
result in a divorce."

So, when your wife asks you what you think of the new recipe she slaved 8
hours making, you have no problems telling her it tastes like crap?

Or, when she comes back with a new hairdo she is proud of, you tell her the
old one was a lot better.

When your wife just turns 50 and asks you how old she looks, you tell her
the truth?

Sometimes wives do not want to know the truth. My wife would cringe when
she saw the checks I wrote for helicopter rental. So, she asked me to
create a helicopter account and keep it from her. I did. Soon, it became
the expensive aircraft and radio account. She has been happy since.

Honesty is the quickest way to tick your spouse off and get a divorce.
