That's where I lost it. At least he's got a sense of humor, if not common sense, propriety, class, self awareness, etc.

I agree with the central idea of the sermon, but that's about it. It shouldn't be controversial to tell a marriage partner, man or woman, that they should attend to the likes and loves of their spouse, even in ways that some might view as superficial. Always make that effort, but knowing that love isn't contingent on the outcome. That's just common courtesy and showing love and respect for their partner. My own marriage failed in large part because neither of us paid much attention to that part of our relationship, and at times it was made explicitly clear that decisions over hairstyles and makeup and dress weren't for me, but for her. That translates as indifference bordering on disdain, and those feelings in a marriage are a nuclear bomb waiting to go off.

Maybe it's old school to remind marriage partners that it is, in fact, their duty to invest themselves in their partners happiness. Had this holy jellyroller an ounce of sense he'd have made those points without revealing himself to be a chauvinist jackass.

Strong words coming from a Grey Cup himself.

All of the married men here go and inform your wive’s that they are awesome participation trophies. Report back, if you can. Bonus points for anyone with the balls to tell her she’s now a Stanley cup.
