Once X asked Y, "What is the secret behind your happy  married  life?"

 Y said, "You should share responsibilities with due love and respect to each other. Then absolutely there will be no problems."

 X asked, "Can you explain?"

 Y said, "In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as my wife  decides on smaller issues.  We do not interfere in each other’s decisions."

 Still  not convinced, X asked Y "Give me some examples"

 Y said," Smaller issues like which car we should buy, how much  amount to  save, when to visit home town, which Sofa, air  conditioner, refrigerator  to buy, monthly expenses, whether to keep a maid or not  etc are  decided by my wife.  I just agree to it"

 X asked, "Then what is your role?"

 Y said," My decisions are only for very big issues.  Like whether America should attack Iran, whether Britain should lift sanction over Zimbabwe,  whether to widen African economy, whether Sachin  Tendulkar should  retire etc etc.   Do you know one thing, my wife NEVER objects to any of these".
