My husband and I were fighting in the garage and he said "see that can of gas right there? Right now I could pour it on top of you and light a match, and laugh while I watch you burn!" I need a good come back if he ever says that again to me. Also any advice about this rotten marriage.

This is not good. He can say that and laugh at the same time. Get out while you're still alive. Don't even think of a good counter for such a threat because it will only ignite a little fire into a big flame. Like you have said, a rotten marriage, so what are you waiting for? Get a divorce or something. Get a restraining order from a court that you're husband threatens to kill you. If you have kid or kids, take them with you and move out of the house. If you own the house, get the police involve saying he threatens your life and the safety of your children. Get the authorities to remove your husband in your house. If it is both your house, get out and take your kids to your friend's or mother's house. Then bring your husband in court to get the financial value of whatever he owes you and your kids.

Do you know the famous song by the Doors - Come on Baby Light my Fire?
Play it some time (it is a good make-out song too) and tell him you like this better -- with a mysterious grin.
If he smiles you know he was joking - though it is not the kind of joke you want to tell your friends or MIL about.
Everything has to be looked at in the context. Some people verbalize terrible thoughts involving dreadful acts but never act on them. Is there a pattern or was this a one-time occurrence.
You know what the best answer is. Don't confront him but tell him how his remark/joke made you feel. Even if he had no intention to hurt you, he now knows that it frightens you and may increase the distance between you. Most likely he may not want that.

Exactly what the first answer said only RUN to a divorce lawyer. This is not a comment you make to your spouse, I am actually afraid for you right now, I hope that you'll see how twisted his remark was and get out while you still can and not via an ambulance and the burn unit.
BTW my husband of 5 years and I have had some pretty bad fights and said some beyond horrible things, but that comment made our comments look like polite dinner party conversation.

Girlfriend, you must be kidding. I can't believe you are stupid enough to still be in the same house as he is in. Get your stuff and get out! This man is loco. People who say things like this are extremely dangerous. Please leave asap and report this to the police. Go to a woman's shelter and ask for protection from him. Why would you want to take that kind of chance with your life? He doesn't love you or he would never entertain such thoughts. If he is thinking about doing such a horrible thing, you had better leave or he will make good on it.

Forget the good come back, GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!!! No one in their right mind would ever say something like that, not even in a heated argument. If I were you I would speak with the local DA or the women's violence center and seek an immediate protective order. At the very least please speak with an attorney experienced in family law matters. Whew, I don't even know you and I'm concerned for your safety.

First of all honey, you shouldn't have to ask anyone for any advice!! I suggest you get the (Hell) out of this relationship while you can before it's to late or instead of you playing Fara Faucet on the Burning Bed it will be your husband playing her husband Mickey!! I hate to put it to you like that, but that's just the way it is.
I sure hate to see you or anybody go through what you're going through.

Forget the comebacks!
RUN LIKE HELL!! GET AWAY FROM HIM!!
Most couples when they fight may call each other names, that's normal. What he said to you is not normal and you should be very afraid of someone that would tell you that. He supposedly loves you right? If you love someone, you wouldn't threaten them like that and you certainly wouldn't get pleasure from seeing them hurt or suffering.
Try to keep a log or journal with dates and things said like that. It may come in handy later if you decide that you do not deserve to be "loved" in that way and leave him.
GOOD LUCK!!

The comeback is. Laugh it up a hole. At least I know what hell feels like. Youll be here soon enough
Get out before you really get hurt.

Are you crazy? Is this a joke? Your husband says he wants to set you on fire and you want a good comback.
Heres some advice; Leave.

Get out now before he actually does it! Honestly that is super scary, no normal man could say that to someone he loves and I think you could very likely be in danger.
