This is sort of a follow up to my last post. I tracked down some more info on “The National Chauvinistic Husband’s Association.” Appearently “Chauvinistic” is a bad translation, because this is a group dedicated to saving their marriages by learning to love their wives. They have around a thousand members and the group was started by a guy back in 1999 who was on the brink of a divorce himself.
They have a 10 level program that husbands try to advance through. So far only one of them has made it to level 10, and that’s the founder. But here’s the 10 levels.
Level 1: Is still in love with his wife after three years of marriage.
Level 2: Does a good job helping with housework.
Level 3: Has never cheated on his wife–or his wife has never caught him cheating.
Level 4: Can practice a “ladies first” policy.
Level 5: Can take a walk with his wife while holding hands.
Level 6: Can listen to his wife seriously.
Level 7: Can solve problems between his wife and his mother in one night.
Level 8: Can say “thank you” without hesitation.
Level 9: Can say “sorry” without fear.
Level 10: Can say “I love you” without embarrassment.
