What can you do to make your husband stop griping?

Pretend like you're REALLY not feeling good at all and you just HAVE to lay down for a few hours (I've tried this a few times...when I wasn't feeling the best...but not the worst either)...so far so good! OR have him go out with some of his buddies so you can have some peace and quiet. OR you can cook him the most amazing meal, have all the laundry, dishes, and the vaccuuming done by the time he gets home from work so he doesn't have anything to gripe about (but we all KNOW this isn't possible in today's world...maybe in the 50s...but not today)....so the latter really isn't realistic. BOTTOMLINE...they'll gripe anyway.
