WHY MEN ARE HAPPIER
What would you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put, the garage is all yours, wedding plans take care of themselves, chocolate is just another snack, and you can never get pregnant. Furthermore, car mechanics tell you the truth, you never have to drive to another gas station’s restroom because this one is just too icky, you don’t have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt, and wrinkles add character!
Just think about it. Men get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness, and if someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend! Furthermore, two pairs of shoes are more than enough, you are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes, men can do all of their Christmas shopping on December 24th in less than an hour, everything on your face stays its original color, and the same hairstyle can last for years, maybe even decades!
Do you want to know some more contrasts?
- A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband; a man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
- A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn’t; a man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change, but she does.
- A woman will dress up even to go shopping; a man will dress up only for weddings and funerals.
No wonder men are happier!
Now seriously, though, I hope that this has been a fun read, no matter your gender. The fact of the matter is that God made us different that He might make us one as we complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses in an effort to find our true unity in Him.
Devotedly your pastor,
