I think the saying 'Happy wife, happy life'  is true.   And vice versa.  Happy husband, happy life.   Nobody wants to be around a grumpy hubby, lol.  'All in all', it's not offensive (to me), imo.

Actually, I'd prefer 'Yes, dear' attitude instead of a continuous bantering/d*vil's advocate type of situation.  That can be annoying, too.   Being half-way pleasant is a 'win-win', imo.

I don't think it's offensive.  I do think the fact that if the wife isn't happy and everybody else will be miserable because of her is misguided.

Wow 46 answers in just a few min. but yet none of them explain why this saying is so meaningful as to reach the level of being offended by it. 

I use this saying to end spats with my DH all the time - when I just don't want to spar with him over something I say  Remember, happy wife - happy life or sometimes "You still haven't learned - happy wife , happy life." He'll usually say - I GOTTA come up with a something about happy husbands !

Maybe happy life, Happy Housewife would work. Nah.

That saying go big or go home is offensive to me, I hate anything big.

i dont find it offensive.......i think it is funny!

it was kind of funny when teresa giudice said it on the rhonj......look what happened to them........

Its just a cute joke and/or saying.  People get offended anymore at anything.  Its real tiresome and makes one afraid to talk to anyone.  What a shame.
