The Husband Store

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch... you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband... On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking. "Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous and help with the housework. "Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:

            Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor.  There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.  "Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!"

 

            And for a little balance (not a lot, just a little)…

            What's the difference between a boyfriend and a husband? About 40 pounds!

            Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a big gut, and still think they are beautiful.

 

            I found these this morning preparing for our Couples Life Group that starts on Wednesday at 7pm at RIO 180. Tammy and I love spending time with couples and this is really a great way to do it. We don’t want it to be a class where we, or anyone else for that matter, are teaching but we simply want to lead conversation that will be fun and helpful.

            So if you are married or have someone you might want to marry someday, come out and join us. It should be very interesting.
