Every time I bring up this requirement with a date they get huffy. I never get another date. Sometimes they throw a drink in my face.

There is no CHI directive to ask hubby before wife gets a call. This is one of those silly cultural things. My policy for callings has always been when calling a hubby or wife ask both to come to the meeting where the call is extended. That way both can weigh in on one or the others calling and both can be there when the impact on time and what is involved is discussed.

There was in the 1999 version (i.e., "When a sister will be called to a Church position, it may be desirable to confer with her husband first."). Have you confirmed that this has been removed from the latest version of the CHI?

Your policy is consistent with the 1999 CHI, which states that "[t]he leader normally invites the spouse of a married person to be present and give support when the calling is extended."

I do not recall if this directive of having the spouse present is in the new handbook and I never knew there was such a directive in 1999.
But I always thought it good policy to include either spouse when calling the other. Callings have an impact on the whole family. But it was never a "do I have your permission to call your wife, or call your husband." It was here is the call and go talk about it together is let me know what you think.
