Emma’s responses are the most female responses and make this hilarious. “Not good enough. 1/2 point”
The best part is that the deduction was not for their answers but for the question.
Female: verified
As a male, I have a small amount of experience in this area.
Yeah, I was wondering about that one, her reasoning was that the man was watching his own kids, but that's the point. He's watching the kids so his wife is free to go out. It wouldn't help if he said, "honey, I'm going out to babysit someone else's kids"
The “love my wife more than my mother” one is actually right on. 😂 I hope my husband likes my cooking more than his mothers
Haha, even if he follows that advice, it does not neccesarily apply to your cooking.
I thought that was a perfectly reasonable sentence.
Mama always comes first. She loved me when I had poop in my pants. That's true love.
How about "honey I love You more than I love Your mother" would that count?
@@stickmanbrains I think you owe it to your wife to drop a loaf in your shorts and see if she still loves you. It's really not a fair comparison unless you're ranking them with the same metrics. I think she should even get bonus points, given that you're old enough to _not_ poop your pants, now.
I don’t want to hear the words “ I love you more than my mother,” but I do want it to be obvious 😂
This was so hilarious. MORE please!!
Right? 😂
Does your wife love you more than her father. Who does she call daddy
One of the rarest times I see a group of people and I feel comfortable with the way they all look and their personalities.
In the early 70's I got paid minimum wage of $1.65/hr. I bought a new 1974 Subaru for $4000 and filled it up at $.38 per gallon. In 1983 - 86 my kids and I would go to Chuckie Cheese's on Saturday's frequently. I would take $20 for games and pizza for me and the two girls. We would play for hours - mostly skeeball.
I was in high school then but I remember dad giving me a ten spot which filled the tank on his giant Oldsmobile and still had enough to take my girlfriend to a movie, buy popcorn and go out for ice cream afterwards. (Amazingly we were all skinny then).
My wife and I were married for over 43 years before she died in November from complications of early onset Alzheimer's disease, how does this score? We would tell each other this several times a day, "Nobody loves you more than I do except Jesus."
My mother and my wife got along great.
Golden rule for husbands: _never_ compare your wife to another woman, including previous flames/girlfriends or your mother.
But how will my wife know how much better other girls were?
@@Jeremy-ql1or Trust me, she knows they were only doing it for the money. 🤭
100%!!!!!
Do this in a "Newlywed Game" format! That would be a riot!
When was the last time Joe Biden asked his son if he wanted to have some Coke? 🤣😂🤣
Doesn’t even have to ask anymore!
@Jason Shoots I know, was just a joke
Or Parmesan Cheese...lmfao
I hope Babylon Bee starts a matchmaker podcast just for Seth.
I would watch the Seth dating show.
Hilarious :-D
I think Seth isn't married because he doesn't want to be.
After twenty five years of marriage I can say my husband is a Godsend I don’t know how he puts up with me I’m a handful lol I admit it 😊
Watching Lucile Ball with my face in my hands a lot, LoL
He does it because he loves you and knows he's a better person with you as his wife
@@HisFarmer ugh, cringe.
@@TCallier 😂
OMG a wife finally admitted it!
That question about taking your kids out for a Coke, -obviously the important part is spending quality time with your kids, preferably one-on-one time with each individual kid. It doesn't have to be a Coke, just some quality time. This is one of my random memories of my father from when I was a boy. At one point, my dad began a tradition of taking me and my siblings out individually. I don't remember what the schedule was, -was it once a week he would take one of us somewhere, and then the next week he would take another one of his kids? Where did we go? What did we do? I don't remember these details. I just remember that he had a routine of taking one of us out on a regular basis for some quality time. Oh, and there were six of us, and he treated us all equally.
Notice how I remember this, even though I don't remember what we did. We remember what is important. It was important to me that my father cared enough about us to spend individual time with us. It was not important what we did, but that we got to spend one-on-one time with our dad. This is a good practice, and a good way to raise you children, and it could have a life-long affect.
i used to let my wife go out on "Girls night out" then she found a new husband, took the house, the new car, the children, the bank account, she left me the credit card bills, and a huge child support bill.
Ouch! That's hard. Sorry to hear that!
And this is exactly why some of us males learn to "just say no". Not many figure this out.
Though sadly this is the case for many good men these days, I find your use of the term "let my wife" as if she's your slave or pet questionable. Makes me think you're just trolling.
@itsshrimp
Testimonials like OP's are a dime a dozen. The opposite testimony is extremely rare by comparison.
We don't have kids, but he compliments me in front of the cats.
Feral or domesticated? 🤣
@@cloudbase7799Do you mean the husband, or the cats?🤔
Great segment - Emma nailed her role in the discussion. (Sure hope the Bee brings a new season for Californians Move to Texas - believe the first season is already a “cult classic” that will continue to grow its audience).
I thought this was going to be stupid but this is actually good advice.
Honestly, the wife/mother love thing depends on a lot of factors. Is the mother a good mother? Is the wife a good wife? If a man has a bad wife, for his sake I hope he has a good mother and the reverse is also true. It shouldn't be a competition because the men are correct - it's absolutely a different kind of love. I say this with plenty of experience: our 50th anniversary is next spring.
That's actually crazy to think about
$20 in the late 70s being almost $100 now
You can hardly do lunch for 2 for $20 today
I've told my wife that my mother loves her more than my mother loves me.
I'd take the "Love you more than my mother" statement to mean that you'd take your wife's side in an argument.
I wonder if she'll feel the same way about the wife/ mom question when she has grown sons. Good moms want sons to prioritize their wives, but the "more than" concept was weird.
Loving your wife more than your mother is a must. As a woman with young sons, I knew as soon as they were born that one day they would leave me. It's just the natural healthy way.
Good grief, that question creeped me out! My boys BETTER love their wives more than me, and when I asked my husband that question he gave me the, "What the...?" look.😂
These are still good advice, especially to a generation that matured after 2000 to 2010 that didn't really date but just hung out and floated in HS with separate checks and who knows who will be close at the end of the night, despite who is close at the beginning. Practice Promescuity. They often started traditional dating well in their 20s where their sexual appetites were not restrained at all....and dates were often quickly carnal due to no adolescent practice .
I think the best advice to couples can be found in the movie Shenandoah.
Do you like her?
Sir I love her!
Yes but DO YOU LIKE her.
Initial Love and passion can fade and ebb, but if you like her you (and she you) you'll eventually find you love her.
Sometimes you have to understand that you can't understand and just accept blame. Doesn't matter of it makes sense to you.
Sometimes a man gets that long gaze and needs to be alone. Let him go, he'll be back.
When they said at the end: "we should do one with the women" I thought they meant we should do one where we see how well the women treat their men.
Unfortunately they meant we should do ANOTHER one where the men are rated AND the women criticize them.
I don't know if there is a book for woman...
I love that there are pictures of Carman and Kevin Sorbo in the background.
My childhood in two pictures.
A husband in the 1970s would NEVER babysit anyone other than his own kids, and he'd only babysit them in an emergency.
My wife and I have been married over 50 years,just not to each other. We get along great.
Only 46 simple steps to fix your husband 😂
Step 1: Stop. Don't try.
Step 2: Refer to Step 1.
Step 3: Copy Step 2 forty-three more times.
Was the book “brought to you by” coke-a-cola ??
@@phprofYT Yes, if you're a woman carrying both halves of the marriage, time to loose 250 pounds of worthless man and get a divorce lawyer. That was a major problem from the 70's on. Men raised by doting moms who did everything for their sons including protecting them from punishment from a father. THAT is what men wanted from their wives: mommies who would do everything for them in the marriage/home, AND have carnal relations, too. Oedipal doesn't even begin to cover the twisted narcissism.
@@Objective-Observer hey, you don’t sound jaded OR cynical!
@@TCallier Takes one, to know one.
This explains why these were in our Amazon queue lol
Do one of these for wives, asking how we treat our husbands to show them our love & affection

How many times do you say thank you instead of critiquing or complaining?
@bogus oof don't destroy the poor gals straight out of the gate like that!
Wife and I 33yrs and counting
So Wise , Thank You . Good Humor
Why do I get the feeling that Emma's husband is in trouble tonight?
That's my brother spot-on! Barbeques a lot and does quesadillas.
The mother question sounds ultimatum based. As in “it’s either me or her. Decide.“
I've been married for 37 years now . I love my wonderful Wife more each day. God bless Her!
My husband watches the kids while I go to karate classes - it’s better than a girls’ night out.
A based wife such as this^ is more valuable than rubies
That is a seriously good idea
very wholesome
Adam, you're hysterical. I wish I was much younger and I'd encourage you to ask me out 😍
I didn’t get the notification for this!
Have a day where you plan to bring the wives on and answer the questions. With the guys already knowing the questions they'll go home and intentionally do these things. Then ask them after the wives answer how or if it changed their marriages.
My hubby does all of these...minus the I love you more than my mother one. Thats just weird. Our marriage is far from perfect but little gestures like that go a long way.
6:35 When was the last time you told your wife that you loved her more than your mother (her mother-in-law) loved her?
$20 in 1978 was worth $90 in today's money.
"Very Oedipal." I don't know how to feel about this statement.
I cook on the grill and breakfast on Sundays.
I think the guy on the cover is actor Patrick Swazi (sp?)
8:24 You mean _$91.41…_ Don’t cheap out! 🤪😆
Let’s be honest a woman wants to hear you love them more than your mother more than you expect. My fiancé has silent competition with my mother over my affection before we were dating. Definitely written by a lady lol
Biden: last time baby sitter came over I sniffed her hair and we got married.
This is funny, but a lot of it is valid stuff.
Given today's divorce rate in the church,70s marital advice for Christian men invites a lot of scrutiny.
These days if any man asks anyone out for anything the cops are called.
Yeah, if it's unsolicited, it might be "sexual harassment". 🤦🏻♂️
Simping hard in 1970s
So where is the: _'1970s Advice For Wifes'_ then?
haha i have to chose between my mom and wife lol
In the words of Sean Connery...
"Sometimes they just need a little ...slap"
hahaha
My dad called my mother every Friday to ask her out on a date
Adam is single!! Single here too!
pic on the cover looks like Robert Wagner 😳🤣🛟
Here's $91, go and spend it on yourself.
So this is 99.5% uninformed speculative comments and 0.5% actual content.
Erm guess I failed then my poor wife 😅🤣😅
Joe still takes Hunter out for coke.
Questions for simps not husbands. Stay single boys!
"Coke and conversation" ask Hunter.
Love your wife more than your mom, means when you mom disses your wife, you chastise your mom in front of your wife. And explain to your mom, by the law of man, and in the Mind of God, you are one in being with your wife, and you will not tolerate your mom dissing whom God says is one in being with yourself.
To many men wont stand up for their wives to other family members.
I guess the word should have been respect instead of love. Thanks for the explanation 👍
@@rachelpops9239 no, love, real love, as defined by God, is the right word. Too many people have forgotten what real sacrificial love is. Just as they have forgotten that the law clearly states ones spouse is ones closest relative, despite blood lines. And that God says husband and wife are one in being with each other, as He is in The Trinity.
Nah. It was a dumb question. Mom's get demoted on the wedding day. The love doesn't change.
ONLY 46? Wow.
so Adam's single?
My mother loves you, but I love you more
"I love you more than my mother!" She replies, "I don't believe you, I think your mother loves me more."
It looks like it was easy being a husband in the 70's lol
I love you more than my mother…,o-k
Does it fix, listening, laziness, apathy, and being a mean as s narcissist?
Nothing fixes narcissism; these 46 steps were merely a litmus test for the wife to know when to find a divorce lawyer. Too many men from the 70's on, were raised to be selfish narcissists expecting the wife to carry both halves of the marriage/home like their mommies did, AND have carnal relations.
D-D- Dang! Y'all need to burn your diplomas ( and probably divorce papers), turn off the TV and open a Bible.
When you come at marriage from such a jaded place, hubby isn't the only one who needs an attitude adjustment.
@@YSLRD I've had to endure 42 years of living with a narcissist. I spent 39 years being emotionally abused by his mother, because she didn't want her favorite son to get married. He was supposed to stay with her his whole life as her emotional support and slave. Oh, she was still married to his father, but her son provided her emotional support... that she didn't get from her nacissistic husband.
I thought I found a good man: he didn't smoke [like his parents], he didn't drink or do drugs, he wasn't a ladies man, he was hardworking, honest, and went to church.
As soon as I said I Do, a switch flipped and I was no longer anything to be valued, unless I'm taking care of every little thing for him. As well as working 40 hours a week, that he took my check to spend, while not allowing me a say in our family expenses. We had plenty of money for his hobbies, but we rarely had enough money for me to get new shoes every 5 years or replace worn out clothing.
Oh, he said I love you in the wedding vows and he told me that should be enough for a life time! 'If you say 'I Love You' all the time, it stops meaning anything.'
Yeah, how many times a day does your husband say I Love you. I haven't heard it in 40 years, because it was easier to not hear it, than to fight to get it.
But I was born into a family of narcissism, and I was trained to sacrifice everything for everyone else's luxuries. That was my own family's emotional abuse and they trained me well. I kept saying: if I give more, he will start to reciprocate. No. The more I gave; he demanded even more.
By the time I could see he would NEVER be a good Christian husband, I was too sick to leave. I had 4 chronic health problems develop in a short time span. I made sacred vows before The Heavenly Father, and if I leave- the failed marriage would be MY fault, because I wasn't strong enough to carry both halves, while fighting 9 chronic health problems and a terminal blood disorder.
I finally told him, if he cannot follow the scriptures and do what the Bible says a husband should do, then I don't have to keep trying.
He took that as the excuse to stop trying, reality being: my life didn't change that much, but I stopped doing EVERYTHING for him.
I made the choice to stay with him, so he could pay for my medical care, because I wasted my life sacrificing everything, and getting nothing but grief in return. The least he can do is pay for my medical care. Oh, and that's all he does. If I'm too weak to cook for myself, I don't eat that day.
I can forgive you, for your extreme ignorance of just how evil narcissism is. Nobody understands just how evil narcissists are until they have been abused by one. They do evil things, to secure their needs, and they believe they have heavenly dispensation to be evil and not have to repent. They are delusional and they are consummate con men.
They are so bad, I'm perfectly happy to spend an eternity in purgatory, if my families make it to heaven. That will tell them the abuse the dumped on me was acceptable and they can continue abusing me in heaven. No, thank you. I've had enough of that hell in this lifetime.
I trust the Heavenly Father to do with me what should be done, because I'm prepared for purgatory, rather than spend enternity with my narcissistic abusers.
Sleeping with the Enemy is an excellent portayal of a physically abusive narcissist.
Mosquito Coast is an excellent example of an obsessive narcissist.
Everyboyd Loves Ray was my life: Ray and his parents are your bog standard narcissists, except my mother in law made his mom look like a saint.
Make the mistake of marrying a “ Mama’s boy”. Then when the mil verbally abuses you, your husband will refuse to come to your rescue.
Forty-six simple steps? They're kidding...I hope.
These momma's boys couldn't bring themselves to say on film they love their wives more🤣🤣🤣
Not sure I'd fare better
Babysat?
advice - Treat her right
It's actually kind of sad the way some of these things are worded. I'm traditionalist by nature but these aren't traditionalist, they're just a very low standard of love.
0:24 Looks like a de-aged Trump without de-aged hair.
Hey honey, what’s todays date? There, I asked her for a date.
Ask the soy generation these questions
Here's the best advice for husband's. Don't get married.
4:38 BS! The kids weren't just her idea, she bloody forced me! Sp yeah, I'm fricken babysitting!!!
Let's get motorcycles I said, Jet ski's even! But noooo, she had to have a bebe! (GET IN MY BELLY!)
Financially crippling emotional liabilities I said, ME WANT BABY REEEEEEE! She said!
Don't get me wrong, I 'agreed' and the kids are cool and that, but yeah, until they're older, it's BABYSITTING!!!!!
"Be straight and Jesus will love you! And if Jesus loves you then women will love you too. That's when you know that you're on the right path." - God... probably
Joe Biden asked Hunter out for coke and a conversation once...and now we're here..
This was published around the time my parents got married. Wish they read it, maybe they'd still be together. 🥲
🎰 ding ding ding winner!
Actually, most of the couples from that era did stay together. The 50% divorce rate was not just first marriages; second and third marriages were counted, too, of course, and that seriously skewed the percentages, since they were more likely to break up.
I wish your mom and dad had been part of the the positive cohort.
