How do you decide who to marry?

1. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids)

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. -- Alan, age 10

-No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with. -- Kristen, age 10

2. WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then. -- Camille, age 10

3. HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. -- Derrick, age 8

4. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids. - Lori, age 8

5. WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough. -- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)

On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10

6. WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich. - Pam, age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that. - Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do. - - Howard, age 8

7. IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. -- Anita, age 9 (bless you child )

8. HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? -- Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favorite is.......

9. HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump truck. - Ricky, age 10

My husband hit the jack pot with this one!

Mine has #9 down. First thing in the morning after a night of binge drinking, my hair looks like a chicken is nesting in it, my eyes are blood shot, mascara and eyeliner half way down my pale, dehydrated face, closely resembling one of the strung out hookers on svu, not to mention the good morning yuck mouth, and here's my husband, "good morning beautiful".

Today, we meet Derrick. Derrick survived a childhood of abuse, turned to selling drugs at age 13 and now, at the age of 26, is out of prison and is a best-selling author. Please welcome the author of "Yelling at the Same Kids, A Child's Journey", Derrick.

FP - you're cracking me up.

Like my daddy always said...money isn't everything but it's so far above whatever's in second place. Did I listen??? nnnnnnnoooooooo, I had to marry for love! duh

I agree with #7!!!!

Same here. I sooooooo should have paid more attention to my girlfriends who all said to "marry for money the first time, then you can afford love later."

This made me laugh so hard that I cried.

!!!!

I always thought it was marry for love the first time and for money the second time but your way makes much more sense.

I've heard you should marry a nerd as they will be the ones making the money.

This borders on the "I learned everything I need to know in Kindergarten" edge. Its perfect! LOL

I've seen this a couple of times, and laugh every time. Thanks!

so tell us. Is your husband either:

a) trained very well, or
b) scared to death of you!

Wow, you sound like a real catch

I'm gonna go with trained very well.

EliComply, we have 5 kids, so we don't go out very often, but when we do, we do it right. But coming home in the wee hours of the morning, only to get up, pick up the kids and make breakfast by 8am makes for a pretty scary morning.

Or
c) doesnt have his contacts in yet

{Pssst.. they're still newlyweds, too!)

So does that mean I should only marry a girl if she's been divorced already?

^^ Depends:

1. With love you just jump in headfirst.

2. For money you determine if she went for love or money first.

Either way, I'm doing a prenup. Love is love, business is business.

^^^what he said...wait...that would mean actually marrying...ommmm...nada...no prenup or postnup required that way!

#7 is totally backwards -- marriage benefits women far more than men. Giving up all my money and freedom in exchange for someone picking up after me is not a good deal.

yeah, just hire a maid!

Exactly whose side are you on here, Joker?

I'm neutral...could work just as well for us women, right? I would consider hiring some really good looking man servant! Sounds like a plan!

I'll be over shortly, do you keep a lot of bananas on hand?

Perhaps, but getting to wake up next to makes it all worth it, doesn't it

I will decide who I marry from examining their PFO and Autos.

<------ rides a skateboard and owns numerous bus passes


does that do anything for you?

^^^^ is all about public transportation indecency

::slides next to Peepers on the bus:: How you doin?

What?

Potential Fertility Object

HA HA HA HA ... maybe.

I'm in year 2 of a 22 year engagement. By the end of it, I'll know if she is who I should marry.

Lovin' the avatar, Deek. Been workin' out? Lookin' good...

3 years ago, my mother and her man finally married after 28 years together.

yeah, some of those statute of limitations go a long time...

Did you buy DQ's guide to wedding planning?

if he did, it probably referenced alchohol every 10 words

::SCRAMBLES TO BOOKSTORE::

My kinda reference book.
