I'm sure that there are hundreds of life's lessons we all had to learn so I will start with such a small simple lesson I learned such a long time ago.
If I am taking an extended road trip with the wife and kids, (First wife, second wife, it makes no difference 😁) NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER drive past a rest area exit on the Interstate. You know, leave at 5 AM and go until 7 or 8 PM it is 99% certain, the second you pass by the rest area exit the "I have to pee!" chant starts, quickly followed by "I have to pee now!!" chant. Followed by the "Hurry Daddy, hurry!!" chant.
I'm guessing this is a life lesson most of us have learned.
So give me some of the lessons you learned the hard way!!

What is that old saying......
As you go through life, two rules will never bend.
Never whittle toward yourself or pee against the wind.
big boobs dosen't necessarily make a good wife.
I don't think anything makes a good wife..............life is more simple when lived alone.
Get it in writing...a hand shake does not cover it
Anytime you deal with a female with two last names,there are going to be problems.
Never trust as phart.
Especially if one is past 50 years old.
Buy the gun...not the story.
Buy the gun then make up the story🙃
I know a guy who married the finest set of 15 year old boobs in the universe!! They were perfect!! This was back in the braless, shear top days!! Wow!! Just WOW!! As soon as she graduated from HS they got married. I saw her 10 years and three kids later.
Oh my. Gravity, having kids and aging 10 to 12 years and perfection went a long ways south! Literally! 🤣
I have never been able to hold or trust one for more than 5 minutes let alone 50 years!
Ha, Ha. maybe that is why they stink soooo bad, well aged.
While moving we made many, many trips on the same highways. I learned how often to stop & which ones were clean enough for her.
A happy wife is a happy life.
Never ever believe that the check is in the mail . There are no free lunches.
Just because the cow is out, it doesn't mean the electric fence isn't working.
always expect the unexpected that way your not caught off guard .
and no matter what when working on something no matter how much "stock" or spare parts you have on hand , there will be a bolt or bracket that breaks along with few more reasons , no matter it always amounts too one more trip into town .
this i one is a bit dated but always fill your gas tank don't pass up a chance or at least keep a eye on how many miles you have traveled gas gauges stick been there done that too many times . not so bad any more as you cant throw a rock with hitting several gas stations or mini marts
If he speaks of his honor, make him pay cash.
If in doubt, empty the magazine.
If you have to shoot, shoot until it changes shape or catches fire.
Tell her she is beautiful. Especially if she is not.
Keep the kids long on hugs, short on cash.
Rub her feet- without being asked.
With guns, work on the cheapest part first.
When the tank is half full, refill it.
Just one of the many reasons for owning a dog is having someone to blame for your own flatulence.
Always hold on to a medical bill at least a month or two or three before sending off a payment.
Never take beautiful sunrises or sunsets for granted.
Same goes for the ones you love in your life.
DON'T PEE ON AN ELECTRIC FENCE, Especially when you are standing on wet grass barefoot. That was probably the hardest lesson I had to learn the hard way.

Don't squat with yer spurs on.
Never ever drink out of the creek when you're downstream of the herd.
A good wife, more often than not, has a good husband. In fact it's a requirement if it's going to last. If you find a good one never ever turn her loose even for a minute because you'll regret any of the time you were apart someday.
You'll never know how terrible living alone is until God calls that good wife home one day and leaves you behind.
Well said Smitty
A happy life is without a wife.
I guess I will just have to agree to DISAGREE with you there on this one mohawk.
If a person tells you they are religious and a good person...Beware.
Be a peaceful reasonable thoughtful man right up to the moment those options are stolen from you by another persons actions.
