Hi Nick,

Glad to see that this Thread is still going strong.  One of my favorite topics.

How about a few brief Thoughts on Marriage...

Some marriages are made in heaven, but so are thunder and lightning.

"Marriage is a lot like the army, everyone complains, but you'd be surprised at the number that re-enlist." - James Garner

"Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards." - Benjamin Franklin

"Don't assume that every sad-eyed woman has loved and lost - she may have got him."

"A man usually falls in love with a woman who asks the kinds of questions he can answer." - Ronald Colman

"Before marriage the three little words are 'I love you', after marriage they are, 'let's eat out'."

"By all means marry: If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher." - Socrates

"A diplomatic husband said to his wife, 'How do you expect me to remember your birthday when you never look any older?' "

"It takes a smart spouse to have the last word and not use it."

"The honeymoon is over when he phones to say he'll be late for supper and she's already left a note that it's in the refrigerator." - Bill Lawrence

"The average woman would rather have beauty than brains because she knows that the average man can see much better than he can think." - Ladies Home Journal

"A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband." - Michel de Montaingne

"Alimony is like buying oats for a dead horse." - Arthur Baer

"Marriage is a great institution - but I'm not ready for an institution yet." - Mae West

"When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her." - Sacha Guitry

If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.

You have only to mumble a few words in church to get married and a few words in your sleep to get divorced.

Marriage is grand -- and divorce is often as much as 100 grand!

Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.

When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: Either the car is new or the wife is.
