Reflections on Marriage

[wop]

By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher...and that is a good thing for any man. - Socrates

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man. - Lana Turner

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

Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.

Marriage is not a word; it is a sentence.

Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.

Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning.

Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After marriage, the 'Y' becomes silent.

Do not marry a person that you know you can live with; only marry someone that you cannot live without.

This first one explains why there are all those non hobbiest posts on this board (like this one...)

Do you remember the name of that group DQ? It escapes me.

BTW, it went:

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you.

Non-Cynical reflections on marriage:

Love seems the swiftest but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century. ~Mark Twain

What greater thing is there for two human souls that to feel that they are joined... to strengthen each other... to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
~ George Eliot

How about:

"Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like and just give her a house." -- Rod Stewart

...and my alltime favorite...

"Ah, yes, divorce..., from the latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet." -- Robin Williams

I wonder what means more to a guy, his bachelor party or his divorce party?

I guess his divorce party is like celebrating just getting out of jail.

All I know is if I was really loaded chances are I'd sign a pre-nupt agreement. Men get screwed in a marriage, and they get screwed even harder during and after the divorce settlement.

Marriage unfair to Men

Pre-nupt don't always protect.

The only way (that I know) a man can avoid getting screwed for the screwing he got, is to have less money than his wife.

Some people do get lucky but you can't count on that.
