He revisits the discussion from yesterday regarding women who have to ask if it’s “okay” to ask their husbands not to do things that bother them. Mark closes the show by giving a year end retrospective on 2010.
Mark’s brother Eddie joins us on the show this morning to discuss e-mails. E-mails discuss video games, communication and the important boundaries wives need to set for their husbands.
