text: since husbands are wrong more often that the weatherman how do we retain our self esteem?   well, women tend to be good at arguments because we think about what we are going to say - we don't just sit and nod or block what the other person is saying.  so i guess the rule of thumb is actually listen to what your wife is saying when she speaks and don't just agree with her, you need to tell her what you are thinking/feeling too.
