Marriage is :

Marriage is like a deck of cards …..
In the beginning, all you need is two hearts and a diamond…..

By the end, you wish you had a club and a spade…..

My dad used to say marriage isn’t a word, it’s a sentence. I never knew what he meant until I was married.

Apparently if I respond to a post it instantly puts it in the penalty box. It has literally been over three hours and they still haven’t put this back i the new post. Sorry pal i won’t add anything to your future post.

I will say this about marriage. My wife and I will celebrate our 57th anniversary on Sunday. It is the one thing in my life that has been absolutely perfect. She was 18 and I was 19. We have been very blessed. I am thankful for her everyday.

Marriage is your wife telling you there's no way we are getting another Oldsmobile and then yep, you bringing another one home the next week. And she falls in love with it.

1994 Cutlass Supreme Convertible fit that bill, looks like it's going to stay

They say marriage is the #1 cause for divorce... In all honesty, my wife (who is also my best friend) and I have been married for 43 years. It wasn't always blissful, we had to work at it.

Congrats to you. It took me three tries to get it right, but this one is a keeper. Been together nearly 25 years.

Congrats Joe. That seems to be the case with my son also. He hasn't made 25 years with #3 yet but I think they will.

Met my future wife while we were students at NTSU in 1966. We married in Sept 67, I joined the Navy in November 67 and we have been best friends and support for each other ever since. Best thing I ever did was get married.

It will be 35 years this August for me and mine. Like others have said, is hasn't always been easy but we never considered the alternative; and she lets me keep car parts in the spare bedroom and the dining room (on occasion) but I'm running on borrowed time in the dining room - lol.

Marriage is like many things in life, you get out what you put in.

I’m a lucky guy. My wife is my best friend, tolerates my faults, and makes me a better person

Life is too short to be with people you don’t enjoy.

A quote from the late Lewis Grizzard, He had a total of five wives and said the next time he felt like getting married he would find a woman he did not like and buy her a house.

6/6/68, shortly it will be 55 years with the same women. There have been ups and downs but we take care of each other. There are and were some Corvettes and Oldsmobiles included. We will stay together till the end and make sure the kids and grand kids succeed. No regrets.

I was told there are 3 rings in marriage. First the engagement ring, then the wedding ring, and soon after, the suffering

The book and movie Love Story in the 1970's had the whole meaning of love and commitment completely Bass Ackwards when it's most famous line was "Love is never having to say you're sorry".

I've found, Love Is . . . Always having to say you're sorry!

Seriously though, my Wife is a gem, and she's definitely made me a better man for her being in my life!

Congratulations, I'm another 49er. Also married at 18 and 20 in April of '74. She had a '64 Dynamic 88 and I had a '72 Monte Carlo.
She says there are only 2 things that she doesn't like about me. One is that I never listen, and sumpin else.

Marriage is the first step to divorce. I may have chosen poorly...

I think I'll be single for life. I've missed the window where it is advantageous for a man to get married. This doesn't stop women from chasing me, but the ages of women that chase me fall into the single for a reason group.

Oh well, more efficient money use this way.

A guy I use to work with said it’s not premarital sex if you have no intention of getting married.

Women are not like cars, a car you can turn off and fix if it gives you trouble.

Congrats! The wife and I celebrated 41 ourselves early this past April with a trip to South Padre Isle. She was 17 and I was 19 when we tied the knot.

I have 46 years invested in this marriage thing, 26 -10 and 10. The first and last I miss, the middle one was a mistake from the beginning. Sometimes life changes and makes relationships impossible, never be too quick to judge your self or the other party... Tedd
