New Discussion thread - Let's see if it gets some traction!

So we've all heard the scary statistic that 44% (or whatever %) of marriages end in divorce. Yes, that is sort of a shock. But it begs the question...

If 44 % end in divorce, then 56% end in DEATH!

Follow me for more tidbits...

What that statistic never recognizes is that every marriage is counted equally, they are not. I know several, I call them; five time losers, yep, divorced FIVE TIMES. The point being the lifetime marriages only count in the stats once, the serial divorce people run up the toll…

Guess I am ok with my marriage ending in death.
Will be 23 years Next week. We married young with the constant hum of your too young , your throwing your life away, it will never last.

Once was enough for me. Of course, I married the same girl 3 times. Glad that lesson was lernt early on.

I've been married to my favorite person on the planet for 28 years. It will be 29 this January. Only a few months after we met we had a wedding date. When you know, you know.

Two kinds of people in this world....
Those that live in sin, and those that wish they did

LMAO

I've been hitched for 44 years to the same one. Went out with her on a bet and asked her to marry me 1 month later and she said yes. I won and she lost! I guess she wasn't as smart as I thought she was but she is smarter than me!


Yes she is watching me type this!

38 years, toughest job I ever had...also most rewarding..

31 years for us, 60 for my folks and 50 for hers. We had good role models and are trying to do the same for our three and their spouses.

Its a joke, IM. A Joke.

It’s a joke, IM. A Joke.

I realize you were joking but, no, it’s not a joke, it is a foundational piece of those whose goals are to destroy this country, destroy marriage first then the family are all part of the plan…

Same, at 19 yo, will be 36 years next spring.

But I heard a guy say once “been married 35 summers and no tellin’ how many winters”. The womenfolk love it when you use this line.
Another good one is to introduce her as your first wife (she has to be your only wife for this to work), trust me they love it.

You know, thinking about it, she must be an angel or something.

You are wound too tight.

Studies show that 66% of women are on prescription medication.

That means that 34% are walking around unmedicated.

Hoosierdad made up for your faux pas.

 

[KARP]

We got married right out of high school, 54 years ago.
I figured with my less than handsome looks that I better snag the first good looking girl that gave me a second glance.

You know why married men die first?
Because they want to.

 

[Vodnik4]

As Mrs and I joke (?) We are not married “because of”, we are married “despite of”.

And that’s the best dang reason for us.
