This Tool Will Save A Marriage
You see this tool? I scoffed when my husband brought it home.
But as it turns out, it might just save my marriage.
You see, my husband could be the neatest guy on the planet. This is not confirmed, of course, but I believe it to be very possible.
I believe that there are essentially two types of people in this world. There are those that put gunky dishes in the dishwasher and those that don’t.
Which one do you think I am? You’ve got it - I am a gunky girl. That should be no surprise to you at all.
My husband will not tolerate gunk in the dishwasher. His dishes look so clean when he puts them in that I have actually unloaded the dishwasher by mistake thinking that they were finished.
I try to sneak little peices of gunk in because my thought is that the WHOLE REASON we HAVE a dishwasher is for it to actually WASH THE DISHES.
But he believes that they should be clean of gunk before being set into the dishwasher. Gunk free. Spotless.
It has become one of those “things” in our marriage. It ranks right up there with the cap on the toothpaste. (Which, by the way, is also my issue.)
So when he brought this dish scrubber home, I scoffed at it. I wasn’t going to use it.
But then I tried it.
It is actually…. FUN.
So my husband is happy, I am happy and my kids are also happy. No more fighting. No more bickering. Just dishwasher nirvana.
I wish I were kidding.

Hello Jennie, I like your post, it’s so funny.
I guess you’re right.. that that dish scrubber could possibly save your marriage. We cannot say that dish washing is a small issue.. cause small problem could get bigger if you will not think of a solution right away.
So, good luck with your new buddy..
and thanks for sharing.

Well, I am sure there are more important things that could save it like a maid, a cook, perhaps a personal trainer… LOL! And yes, I agree. Although I try to use humor, I can see where small issues can get blown way out of proportion and end up causing serious marital strife. I have many friends where that EXACT thing happened.
Here’s hoping my new pal will save me from more serious issues!
