This post is unsolicited, but they can reward me with a chicken plate anytime - if they so choose.

I have never been IN one of their restaurants because all their goodies have been delivered to me in nearby Jackson, SC.
For me a trip to the closest restaurant is a 5 hour trip - but I have driven a lot further for a lot less.
My brothers are manly men and good cooks in their own right. My mom was the best of cooks and I am not bad with pan, fork and flame - but we try to minimize our labor and maximize our fellowship whenever we get together. Wifesaver is already cooking.
Then, when mom was sick and at her passing and around my brother's memorial services people came with a lot of things from Wifesaver - saving their wives from having to work in the kitchen even at a time like that.
There would be fewer and less painful country songs if men paid attention to the name of this company and applied it to their marriage relationship.
"Save your wife!" Yes. Deliver her from drudgery, non-communication and stay in touch with her.
Do her chores even when it hurts. Maybe one brilliant soap suds maker will eventually come out with Duck Tape scented dishwashing liquid.
Wouldn't THAT be THE sponsor for the grandest of SOAP OPERAS: GENERAL HOSPITAL!!! brought to you by "xxx" maker of the manly man's duck tape scented dishwashing detergent ... tough on grease and so strong it hurts your hands and makes you cry. But you will like it because you are a manly man.
Don't be afraid to vacuum, even if you can't spell the word.
Put your used dishware ALL THE WAY into the dishwasher (near does not count, sweet as it may be) and even wash the things in the sink.
That might make your nasty hands softer and cleaner for her to appreciate and hold.
Watch your wife and make a ledger of all that she does. You will get tired while making the list. Then, take over some of the items. Set her free. Save her.
Monkeys can wash and fold laundry. Start by gathering your own clothes and getting them near, if not IN the washer. Learn how to do the laundry correctly.
Don't spare the soap in the shower, use more razor blades and then clean the drains. You don't like picking up a cat's hairball, so why should your wife clean up yours?
If you look more like your lounge chair than you did in your wedding pictures, start walking ... with your wife. At first you don't even have to talk. It will be hard, but do it.
If you get really riled up and think about painting a room, get a note from her first. In fact, the best paint shop in this area is Askew-Taylor and they won't let a husband buy paint without a note from their wife. It is a warning on a 3x5 card nailed to the wall and has probably saved many an argument or hours of SILENCE.
You may be tired, but let her take a nap. You get or fix dinner. You can cook anything but Marie Calendar's nasty steamy lasagna mentioned in a former post.
Cut up some vegetables and fruit. Fold the napkins or paper towels ... in half to start because you don't want to freak her out.
If she is puzzled, curious or suspicious, keep up the activity for a decade. It took you that long to get sloppy.
Undigging a hole is hard work.
If you suggest a nap and she says, "If I sleep now, I will be awake all night!"
Just grin and keep your mouth shut.
