101 things to do with your husband – written by a woman…of course

Was cruising around Pinterest and found a list of 101 things to do with your husband…written by a woman…of course. My thoughts on a few of the really stupid ones. Yes. I said Pinterest. Yes. I’m married. No. I think scrap booking is still stupid.

Go to the gym together
Are you nuts? Unless both of you are in perfect shape, this is a bad idea. A very bad idea.

Playing croquet
Could you pick a less manly game? At least make it lawn darts!

Match socks together – believe it or not, this can be nice to just sit and chat while doing this mindless chore

Maybe for you. Your husband wants to kill himself with one of the extra socks to stop the babbling.

Go see a play at a local theatre
Seriously, this is still in the cultural belief system of the married female?! Your man doesn’t want to go to a play. He’s doing it because _you_ like it. He’d rather slit his wrists. At best he’s going just to see you all dressed up.

Paint a room in your house that you’ve been meaning to re-do
Shoot me now. It will just end up with “Is that how you are going to paint it?”

Scrabble
Unless your husband is an English major. Uhhh…no. He’ll be looking for that lost sock again to end the misery.

Yoga
I ain’t there for the meditation, so you better be wearing something other than an old Tshirt.

Run a 5K, 10K, 1/2 marathon, marathon together
One of you will hate the other for running too slow or too fast. Better yet…how about I drive you there and then pick you up when you are done?

Monopoly
you’ve clearly never meet my wife. Blood has been spilt over lesser games. I value the remaining stumps I use to call limbs.

Redo your bedroom together – new sheets, new arrangement of furniture, hang photos, etc
Hahahaha!!! It stopped being my room 6 months after we got married. I think my Star Wars figures got melted down to make candles.

Make your own sushi
Sure! And you can visit the ER together later that night.

Take a karate class
Great idea. Give the aggressive one even more skill in causing pain.

You know what’s never on the list? Yeah, you guessed it.

Here’s a realistic list…
- Go for a drive, just because
- Do…you know
- Go camping
- Do more…you know
- Go to a movie, with violence or comedy
- Do some…you know
- Go to a nice dinner
- A little…you know
- Travel anywhere
- A new…you know
- Sleep next to me
- An old…you know
- Listen to me babble about a great new idea I have
- Wear something sexy and do any of the above. Preferably before…you know

  1. I love this!! I read the original list and thought my guy would want to do 0 of those 101 things! And I love him enough to not put him through that torture! Most of them were things I don’t even want to do! Ha! It would be nice to have a 101 list written by a man.
