Judge orders couple to go bowling [SunSentinel] Lesson of the day for the male readers out there: don't forget your wife's birthday.

A marital spat that began when a Plantation man didn’t wish his wife a happy birthday and then escalated into a domestic violence charge, resulted in an unusual bond court ruling by a perceptive judge. Instead of setting bond or keeping Joseph Bray locked up, he ordered him to treat his spouse to dinner, a bowling date and then to undergo marriage counseling.

“He’s going to stop by somewhere and he’s going to get some flowers,” Judge John “Jay” Hurley said during the first appearance hearing. “And then he’s going to go home, pick up his wife, get dressed, take her to Red Lobster. And then after they have Red Lobster, they’re going to go bowling.”

So let me get this straight, treat your wife like total garbage, send her some flowers and put her on the bowling lanes and that's it? I hope the judge isn't a married man.....
