A hot tip for a successful marriage

Friend's father mentions about a couple in which the wife hardly would say a word. That is the secret of a successful marriage. Mom pitches in, without an adjusting wife no marriage can be successful. All these while, marriages worked because women adjusted. And nowadays... , she sighs.

I take it all in. I ask him, " so when I get married(eventually), I shouldnt talk."

"Well, she didnt. And the Man was very lucky."

"So when I get married, If I dont talk, all the problems wouldnt even arise, you say?"

"Yes. The key to a successful marriage", he says.

"Can I talk to other people?. I mean I wont talk to him but I can call others right? ."

My friend chips in, " an affair with someone else?"
