Sometimes their mothers make the first mistake.

Marrying the same woman twice is like putting sour milk back in the refrigerator, hoping it will be OK when you take it back out.

@Dogsniff and @ kreole, LOL.

Ain’t that the truth! That’s why I’m glad that I’m single.

Absolutely true.

A man in love is incomplete until he’s married. Then he’s finished.

I did not know what true happiness was until I got married……..then it was too late.

Same as for those women who think they can change a man for the better once they’re married.

I had a co-worker once who did that and it didn’t.

The problem is simple. Women marry thinking he will change. Men marry thinking she won’t change.

Like anthony, 42 years married, don’t often fight, and spousal unit seems better at sulking, but not for long— it HAS been 42 years. But like in most male human activity the real problems seem to come when the “guys rule” rule takes the place of “common sense” which says, common ground is a better place to live.

Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution? Groucho Marx

LOL everyone! Today’s comments would make a great anthology.

I am trying for the 3rd time. So far so good. She knows I will get in the RV and drive away and never say anything to her, ever again, if the going gets too rough.

This was in the USA Today “Don’t Quote Me” game several days ago, attributed to Red Skelton. Since both have lead times, it must just be a coincidence.

I’ve always wondered why people were writing to the editor of a newspaper for advice.
