After 13 years of marriage, and doing a limited amount of counseling in other marriages, I have come to realize that women are still, deep in their hearts, little girls who dream about being rescued by their knight in shining armor or their superhero...which made me start to wonder..what kind of super hero would I be? here are some possible options...
1. The Incredible Hulk - the quiet brooding type, strong and fearless in a crisis. Hulk husband makes a wife feel safe and protected in any situation. Hulks only weakness is that he is not exactly a conversationalist. When not using communication techniques such as grunts and gutteral noises, the Hulk husband will use full sentences such as "Hulk hungry" or ,when angry, "Hulk mad", and will use "Hulk fine" to describe every and all other emotions.
2. Iron Man - Iron man is the "Mr. Fix it" guy. There is no problem on the face of the earth that cannot be fixed with some form of ingenuity whether it be purchased or homemade (which is usually the preferred choice). Iron man is extremely handy and can do whatever his wife needs done around the house whether that me home repair or home re-modeling. His only downside is that he can't "fixer up" in every situation..Ex: "What? You don't feel beautiful...let me build you a treadmill."
3. Green Lantern - Ahhh. Mr. Bling. For all of you who are not familiar with Green Lantern, all of his power emanates from the ring that he wears. It is a special ring from outer space that gives him special powers. Every woman has a place in her heart for the man who understands the power of jewelry. Green Lantern is the king of special occasions and always knows how to find the perfect gift for his lady. The only downside to Green Lantern is that he relies to heavily on the bling and when it is gone, he doesn't know how to be a superhero anymore.
4. Mr. Fantastic - Mr. Fantastic is just that...fantastic. Because of his body's ability to stretch and form into anything he wants, he can be all things to all people. Mr. Fantastic is a very public superhero and he is the guy that any wife could be proud of. Because of his flexibility, he never gets bent out of shape and he is a joy to live with. He is very sensitive to his wife's needs and is very good at being who she needs at the right time. His only struggle is remembering his original form and identity and not trying to take on too many shapes at one time...
5. Superman - We all know that Superman can pretty much do it all. He flies, he's superstrong, he's got x-ray vision, and when he's not being superman, he's takes on his humble, brainy identity of Clark Kent. He can pretty much do it all...but that is also his biggest weakness (besides Kryptonite, of course). Because he can do it all, he is often blind to his need for others in his life. Superman husband doesn't have a lot of superhero friends and also has a hard time allowing himself to even need his wife. His self-sufficiency can also make it very hard for him to seek or recieve counsel from anyone...He is Superman afterall..
6. Batman - The Caped Crusader...What wife wouldn't want her husband to come with awesome sound effects everytime he does something awesome. BLAM!! POWEE!! and a dozen roses are waiting for you at the office. KABLOWEE!! SHABLAM!! and a beautiful dinner is waiting for you when you get home.... Batman is awesome cause he has a whole belt full of gadgets. In fact, Batman doesn't even have any super human powers...he's just really good with all of his cool toys. Batman's only weakness is that he's completely reliant on his toys. You can be having a romantic dinner and all of the sudden, Batman is reaching for his utility belt and begins texting on his communicator (or cell phone)...there may not even be an emergency..he just doesn't know how to function without his gadgets..
which superhero are you?
