But, let a woman in your life / And your serenity is through / She’ll redecorate your home, from the cellar to the dome / And then go on to the enthralling fun of overhauling you.
Let a woman in your life / And you’re up against a wall / Make a plan and you will find she has something else in mind / And so rather than do either, you do something else that neither likes at all.
— Frederick Loewe & Alan Jay Lerner for My Fair Lady, 1964
Full disclosure: Never having married (for which forbearance on my part I’m sure many women thank the gods daily), I have no idea how true or false the above may be. I post it only as a wittily poetic expression of how at least some of my fellow men feel.
