Bonnet/CJ<P>My fiancee and I recently attended a Marriage Seminar hosted by a minister I have much respect for. He is awesome on marriage and he emphasizes the need for Biblical Marriages and each spouse having a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.<P>Yet, while he was teaching on men/women each have<BR>different needs, he told that joke about women having this long list of needs/expectations, while men only have 2 requirements/needs from a woman....."Come Naked, Bring Food"<P>He got quite a laugh on that one! <P>As I have said before, I am a Christian and also a minister, but I do enjoy good humor, especially about the differences between men/women and marital humor in good taste.<P>I do not appreciate any humor that degrades either the man or the woman. While I believe "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" - I don't believe in gender bashing.<P>God has a sense of humor in that He tells 2, totally different people, from 2 different planets (mars/venus) that when they get married, they are to become one flesh.<P>[censored] from Texas
