Watch this Hilarious Clip about Staying Out of the Doghouse

Watch this Hilarious Clip About Staying Out of the Doghouse - We love this clip. It is hilarious. And totally inappropriate. And can go both ways (for husbands or wives). It really isn't about gifts, but more about the bigger principles of respect, kindness and thoughtfulness. This commercial is a good reminder of what NOT to do. For more ideas on how to stay out of the doghouse, check out our posts under The Little Things.

The Bathroom Fight

While this video clip may not portray the ideal scene, we all know that this can be pretty typical (which is what makes it so funny!).  While you're enjoying a good laugh, don't forget these important take aways:  
  • Little things are the big things (for good or for ill). 
  • Being critical is never a good option.
  • Tension and contention can escalate quickly.
  • Remember to laugh with your spouse and to relax about the things that bug you.
