My name is Mark and I’m a huge fan of the show. My wife and I are newlyweds and listen to your show every morning while we're getting ready for work, which is why I hope you read this during your dilemma to settle an argument we’ve been having.

I told her I didn’t put her down and put my brother down because she never picks up her phone and only calls back people who text or leave a voicemail. I want someone to pick up if it’s an emergency and my brother always picks up. It’s nothing personal but she’s taking it personally. Should I have to make her my emergency contact simply because we are married? Am I as she says, “Being a bad husband”? Thanks for the help. MarkThis is a tough one.

At least they exhibited true sportsmanship by accepting their defeat and congratulating their opponents.
