My 33 year marriage has thrived under the following principle:

It's cheaper to keep her.

If you’d been married to my ex-wife, you would realize that isn’t always true. With my current wife, my financial situation has improved immensely. And, I didn’t marry a rich woman.

Another year, or maybe less,
What’s this I hear? Well can’t you guess?
She feels neglected
And he’s suspected
Of makin’ whoopee.

He doesn’t make much money.
Five thousand dollars per.
Some judge who thinks he’s funny,
Says “You pay six to her.”

The guy says “Judge, suppose I fail?”
The judge says “Bud, right into jail.
You’d better keep her.
You’ll find it’s cheaper
Than makin’ whoopee.”

It's cheaper to keep her.

'tis better to live on the corner of a roof than in a large mansion with a contentious woman.
