When I first got married, you know, when you are so madly in love you can’t see in front of your eyes, I send my wife one hundred roses, we had just started dating, she was in Colombia, I was here and it was her birthday.

This is where the point system starts. I was very proud of myself, as you may know, most roses your purchase originate from Colombia, therefore, a bouquet purchase from a flower shop in Colombia is very inexpensive, $25 for one hundred roses delivered.

Anyway, getting back to the point system, I received one point for the gesture, now, must guys would have expected to get about fifty points, but the reality is you only get one point.

I know what you are thinking, but believe me, it’s fair, you see, as everyday goes by you are accumulating bad points that you are not even aware you have. Sooner or later you say the wrong thing and your wife throws out the “Remember couple years ago when….. ” you don’t remember but she does, so now you are in the dog house and you just scored 20 bad points, 1 point for what you just said and 19 for all the other things you did bad the last two years you didn’t know. If you had the same retentive memory a woman has you could be scoring points as well, but, you don’t even remember your anniversary, so here is my advice, there are certain dates that can help you score more single points than anything else, so take note, first you have to find out these dates from your wife, that is a big challenge, and once you find them you can’t use them for three years, or she will throw it back at you. So here is my list.

• Your wedding anniversary
• The name of your song
• Where were you on your first kiss
• What did she tell you after that kiss
• The color of the dress she wore on your first date
• And finally what happened on May 11th of last year

I know finding out what happened in May 11th may be more difficult than anything else, you can always pick any date she throws at you and use it in the future, you can quote May 11th, she will tell you that is not correct, but you can claim you confused the date, however, at that time you need to change the conversation into something else, do not let her ask you what date you were thinking off because you will be throwing yourself under the bus trying to quote any date which you don’t really know, but she can quote for the last two years.

If you can get these information and know how to properly use it, I guarantee you will score more points in a year than you have since the beginning of your marriage, keep in mind that not following these directions and trying to use any of this information before the three year term can land you in hot water, not only you will get a lot of bad points but expect to sleep in the couch at least for one night. and the pets, they will be sleeping in your spot.

PS: I don’t know anyone who has successfully accomplish this task, personally, when I finally got all the answers, she change the questions.
