For a real game of Chance try Marriage








Quote

Marriage is an institutionalized revolution.

Marriage is like playing an endless game of Russian Roulette.

Marriage is a viable option for those who need to be institutionalized.

....Debacle, Two Years Under the Thumb [C.1972]

Marriage is the only war where you sleep with the enemy.
--Gary Busey

This quote is from distant memory, paraphrased by me.


Marriage is the place where he wants to do, "A".

She wants to do "B".

They compromise by doing "C" together, which neither of them wants to do!

Marriage
There are many ways in this world to
learn understanding, patience, kindness
courtesy, and to learn how to form a
true partnership with another human
being, however:
I do think that marriage is the hardest.

I have learned a few really fascinating things
about marriage. But this is by golly, one of the
biggest! Your beloved loves you, and expresses
this love, tenderness, caring and thoughtfulness
in certain ways. These ways are the only type of
behavior that your beloved may understand as
BEING loving, caring, thoughtful and tender.
You on the other hand, have "your own" ways of
being loving, caring, thoughtful and tender .
The problem comes in where each of you is giving
the other, what YOU want, instead of what THE OTHER
wants, So.... if you simply WATCH, pay attention to
your beloved - and notice /learn how THEY express love,
thoughtfulness, etc. you have NOW gained lightyears of
wisdom, with very little effort at all. Now, you understand
what your beloved needs, wants and so on. Hopefully,
you both will agree to satisfy the other's "ways" by treating
them in the way they wish to be treated, not in the way
you wish to be treated.

Well said, babsatamelia!

In marriage for better or worse the worse means the worse part is really, really bad. Oprah or maybe one of her guests.

"women, you can't live with them, and... pass the beer nuts"
Norman in Cheers

Dr Johnson on an acquaintance remarrying after a bad first marriage,
"The triumph of hope over experience".

"Marriage is a wonderful invention; but, then again, so is a bicycle repair kit" - Billy Connolly

"The savage bull may; but if ever the sensible Benedick bear it,
pluck off the bull's horns and set them in my forehead, and let
me be vilely painted, and in such great letters as they
write 'Here is good horse to hire,' let them signify under my
sign 'Here you may see Benedick the married man" - Shakespeare, 'Much Ado about Nothing'.

"Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has no pleasures" - Johnson, again.

Marriage is a feast where the grace is sometimes better than the feast.
~ Colton

The music at a wedding procession always reminds me of the music of soldiers going into battle.'

~ Heinrich Heine

I'll never hear the music at a wedding procession in the same way again!
