Wife Swap
Have you seen wife swap?!
Gawd. I LOVE THAT SHOW. It’s like all the things that the actual wife or husband don’t ever say or do gets said and done. The delivery between newly merged “hubby” and “wife” can get pretty raw. Tonight’s episode was really cool, one family was extremely structured, the other, as the show always sets up; the polar opposite.
One dad = completely addicted to video games and has chosen the "buddy" role with his son. The Swam Wife sets a rule of having them visit a professional counselor when she becomes emotional watching the boy and his relationship with his dad. Long story short, the son confesses he’s not feeling loved. While at the other house the Swap Mom has introduced a much looser regime that injects fun back into the family. Their usual eat in the car on the way from activity to activity extreme nature has a much needed breath of relaxation.
The reconciliation scene is always a tear jerker. Husband and wife crashing into each others arms, big kisses. Then the couples sit down as a group. That can get pretty honest and pretty heated too. Tonight it was actually peaceful, which made it exceptional. The addicted dad, who wouldn’t and couldn’t see his behaviour, admitted that he was wrong and that he was able to see things through her eyes. Wow. How rare.
If you’ve never watched this show, I highly recommend it.
Just thought I’d share.

See, people always say we should do wife swap but i fear my husband would leave me if he realized how easy life could be without me! I do think i could teach someone's husband a valuable lesson on how to appreciate your wife though.
crse - It makes me wonder just how many relationships would benefit from this sort of lesson in appreciation.
