The REALITY is that we DO train our partners! It's a two-way street, though. Through compromise or adapting or adjusting to each other to make living together easier, we train each other to make it work. This is often unconscious, but it can also be conscious. Training can be a good thing - it depends on the motivation and the result.

Oh, I just realized from your Screen Name that you're most likely female. That explains it: no married male--with the exception of some braindead alligator wrestling, NASCAR watching rednecks, would ever even dream about trying to train our wives. We long ago put away such childish notions. LOL. Like it or not guys, most of us are the ones who get trained.

Never been into gender roles, let alone the idea of owning and "training" my wife. 2012 and I still have to listen to this retardation, and sadly; be generalized by most females as one of these screwed up "men".
Well a cowbell IS cheaper then a diamond ring.....just saying

Call it what you want but individuals who subscribe to this sort of ideology deserve one another. It's a problem for me when this way of thinking permeates society on a large scale.

"Training" your partner means that they become predictable and boring. The key is to find someone that constantly adds to your life, what fun is he/she if you know exactly how they'll behave at every moment.

Men grow tired of their wives and their neediness, women are disappointed when their husbands grow tired of them along with the constant demands of the husband......all because you've "trained" them to be this way.

Maybe I'm just crazy but I'd much rather be with someone not in need of training. Not looking for a pet.

Thanks for the most hilarious thread title I've seen in a long time. Just so, so......funny.
I watched that on Netflix last night, if you're looking for retro soft core this is it.

I have never slept on the couch.

I do believe you can train your wife in the sense of setting the example.

I also believe you can say things like, "Do I smell coffee?" When she says, "No, there is no coffee on."

~wait for it~

HER: "Would you like me to brew some coffee for you?"

ME: "If it's no trouble that would be nice."
