Yes! Treat Him Like a King or Her Life a Queen...
by: Suzie

MG - thank you for taking time to share your story. Love hearing that all these years later your relationship is stronger than ever.

Amazing that this concept works with everyone - employees, business partners and customers...

My friend Kate Bakon sent this story over via email - it highlights your point beautifully:
=================================================
A man is having lots of trouble with his wife and he goes to his Rabbi for advice and to tell him that he wants a divorce after many years of marriage.

The Rabbi asks him if he’s sure that he wants a divorce and the man replies that she has been hell to live with. The Rabbi then proceeds to give him the following advice.

“Go home and for the next 30 days treat your wife like a queen, bestow many kindness upon her in the form of sweet words, thoughts and deeds”.

The man loudly protests, “why would I do that for that B---ch?!

The rabbi responds, “oh my son, that’s part of the irony…. After you’ve been so kind and sweet for 30 days… SHE will be totally devastated and shocked when you then ask for a divorce. In essence, you will clearly get the last laugh.”

The man thinks about this… and the more he does… the more he likes the idea. So for the next 30 days he treats his wife like a Goddess… speaking kind words, bringing her flowers and small gifts, doing the chores and tasks she badgers him to perform without being asked and for added affect he whistles and sings while he does. He even treats his mother-in-law kindly.

Many months pass, and one day the Rabbi happens upon the man in the grocery store and asks “so, my son have you divorced that wretched woman yet”?...

and the man looks at the rabbi aghast…..

“Rabbi” he says, “why on earth would I divorce that marvelous kind beautiful woman who has been my constant companion for all these many years!”.

He walks off shaking his head. The rabbi turns to go…. He is grinning from ear to ear!
