Doctor's Orders

A woman accompanied her husband to the doctor's office. Following her husband’s checkup, the doctor called the wife into his office to speak with her privately. He said, "Your husband is suffering from a very severe stress disorder. If you don't do the following, your husband will surely deteriorate and die."“Each morning," instructed the doctor, "fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant at all times. For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him. Have the dinner waiting for him on the table, hot, as he arrives home from work. Don't burden him with chores. Don't discuss your problems with him; it will only make his stress worse. No nagging is allowed. You must also compliment him at least five-six times a day, telling him how brilliant and talented he is. And most importantly, never disagree with him.” "If you can do this for the next 10 months to a year," the doctor said, "I think your husband will regain his health completely. On the way home, the husband asked his wife, "What did the doctor say?"

"He said you're going to die," she replied.

Sweetest friends - we probably won't kill those close to us with our behavior. But one thing is for sure - we can give them LIFE. Simcha is life. But sometimes it requires sacrifice.

We must be willing.

Love and blessings!
