How to Keep a Man Happy*
-
Just like the great Jersey triumvirate of Gym, Tanning, Laundry, my friend Eve and I came up with a three-prong approach to marriage: Sex, Steak, Apple Pie.
(Cable TV is in there too, but it just didn't fit the rhythm of the text.)
*Reasons why this is NOT as sexist and reactionary as it sounds: 1. It's partly ironic. 2. It's deliberately reductive. 3. Although both of the authoresses of this philosophy are aware of and repulsed by the 1950s mentality whose rhetoric it mimics, we also do believe that, in marriage, both parties should give enduring attention to the happiness of the other. I posit a mirror triumvirate for keeping your woman happy: Sex, Chocolate, Housework.
