Marriage? No ways

This morning, I was chatting with a friend of mine who recently got married and I was complementing him on how lucky he was to be enjoying all the benefits of marriage.

He sent me an email which I just had to share with all the single guys and those who are looking forward to making those vows. Beware......

Marriage is not a word. It's a sentence (a life sentence)

Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his bachelor's Degree and the woman gets her masters.

A married life is full of excitement and frustrations. 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 NEIGHBOURS listen.

Getting married is very much like going to the restaurant with friends. You order what you want, and when you see what the other fellow has...you wish you had ordered that instead.

There was this man who muttered a few words in the church and found himself married. A year later he muttered something in his sleep and found himself divorced!

Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.

When a newly married man looks happy, we know why. But when a 10-year married man looks happy, we wonder, why?

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

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

At a cocktail party, one woman said to another...AREN'T YOU WEARING YOUR RING ON THE WRONG FINGER? The other replied, YES, I AM, I MARRIED THE WRONG MAN.

A Man is incomplete until he gets married, then he is finished.

It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.

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


Disclaimer. This is just to make you laugh, marriage can be a good thing if u MAKE IT.
STILL UNMARRIED? Do not be that scared. Marriage is better than waking up next to an empty pillow

mama nze.lol @ a man is incomplete until he gets married then he is finished.Oba you use "complete" not finished.

I think sometime with this single/married thing we have a "the grass in greener on the other side" attitude.

Child, how old are you, 10? There is no way you are even a remote authority on marriage. Kid, please ;-)

Mjay, Thanks for dropping by.

Robyn, not all life sentences are that bad.

3Toc, interesting point of view..i believe that somehow every married person sometimes misses the single life and vice versa.

Cheri, apologies for letting the cat out of the bag..hope you don't mail back the ring and disappoint val.

val, am thinking he wanted me to have a good laugh and rub off the perception marriage is a bed of roses without the thorns.

Hi Princess

Apr9, I hope so

Tumwijuke, you surprise moi.
