A comedian has instructed husbands on what to do when wives say this phrase. Funnyman Jeff Allen is passing along the helpful and hilarious marriage advice during this uncomfortable and awkward situation. Watch the short and hysterical clip to hear what husbands should do and say when their wives utter this statement.

Marriage is not easy. In fact, it’s often quite challenging, but anything worthwhile in this life is typically not easy. Marriage requires both parties to put in time, work and an incredible amount of effort. Also, there must be 100 percent commitment from both, or the relationship will not last.

Difficulties and challenges will arise in every marriage. That’s a simple fact, and there is no getting around it. Disagreements and arguments are part of every relationship, and that certainly includes a marriage. In a clip posted on YouTube, a comedian offers up some hilarious marital advice to husbands for whenever their wives state this often-heard phrase.

The clip begins with him and his wife having dinner, and the mood is a little tense, to say the least. After her unexpected move when he asks her for a knife, Jeff quickly surmises that something is troubling his better half.

“So, I ask, ’Something on your mind?’” Jeff asked his wife. “She says, ‘I’m fat!’ There’s not a man in this room knows you can’t respond to that. A twitch of the eye will get you killed at this point. If you’re a newlywed, trust me, if your wife ever says she’s fat, you become mannequin man.”

Hilariously, Jeff then does his best impression of a mannequin—someone who sits completely still, with absolutely no expression and who does not move a muscle.

“You don’t move a muscle,” he said. “You certainly don’t say anything. Just let her finish her thought, take the knife out of the wall, butter the waffle.”

Genesis 2:24 “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall join to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
