Marriage is great

[YellowDog]

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.

She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him.
She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him.

He appears deep in thought, just staring at the wall.
She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of coffee.

"What's the matter dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room, why are you down here at this time of night?"

"Do you remember when I met you and you were only 16?" he asks solemnly.

The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring and sensitive.

"Yes, I do" she replies. The husband pauses. The words are not coming easily.

"Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?"

"Yes, I remember" says the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

The husband continues... "Do you remember when he shoved a shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?'"

"I remember that too" she replies softly.

He wipes another tear from his cheek and says...

"I would have released today." :facepalm:

at a wedding the kid asks his mum "why's the bride all in white?"
She replies "because it's the happiest day of her life"
The boy then asks "so whys the groom in black?"...

Marriage can be perfect. It can take a lot of work but it really can be great. You can learn all about being the perfect partner from entertainers and it has pay offs no end.

So for all the wisdom you have shared, I would like to say a big thank you to the one who helped me most, Mr Punch.

The boy then asks "so whys the groom in black?"...

His Dad however said ... "Because all kitchen appliances come in white"

Marriage is like a roller-coaster ride.
You only notice the amount of disrepair after the ride has started.

Marriage is a 2 way street.
Actually more like a motorway..... and you need to cross it every day.

Marriages aren't made in heaven, they come in kitset form and you have to assemble them yourself. Typically, most men fail to read the instructions... :innocent:

Ours didn't come with instructions. We made it up as we went along but it's still in one piece approaching 30 years so all good.

I recall being told that it takes the first 20 years to get to know each other... 30 years deserves respect in anyone's language. :rockon:
