On marriage

Posted on by

Right, being single and all, receiving emails like this on marriage makes you think if it is indeed worth it. Eventhough it is meant on a light note, why make the point anyway? Oh well, read on…by the way, the original email was an Powepoint slide show and I just extracted the texts. Thanks to S for sending me this email!

  • Marriage is not a word. It’s a sentence…a life sentence!
  • Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore, marriage is an institution for the blind.
  • 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 (and possibly onwards ~lady c) 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 you 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 a woman becoming 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 be sure of one thing – either the car is new or the wife is.

Then the email goes to say that:

This email is to make you laugh, marriage can be a good thing if you make it.

Still unmarried? Do not be that scared. Marriage is better than waking up next to an empty pillow.

Does it? It didn’t give me much comfort though.

  1. Hmmm… I have friends who are happily married. I have relatives who have been happily married for ages. They say happiness in a marriage is something that doesn’t just happen, you’ll have to work hard for it – assuming you find the right partner in the first place. :love7:

    So, what do we do now fellow singleton? :laughing:

  2. I suppose it would be difficult to say unless you’re in that situation. Well, you’ve got to be with someone, in the first place, and your relationship has to be on that certain level where you BOTH are thinking of getting hitched. I guess, it’s a case-to-case basis as well.

  3. sometimes at night, when i wake up and see jayvee sleeping beside me, i still can’t believe that i am married. and its a nice feeling. its not feeling regret that i’m already married. i wish it’ll always be like this in the future. once i start feeling regret, patay tayo dyan! :yikes:
