Ok, here's the deal: married men live longer than single men but single women live longer than married women.

Mencken put it much more succinctly:
Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.

I got Married was married for 5 years, then got devorsed. I was destroyrd inside the devorse left me a empty shell of a human. I was at the end of my self wanted even to end it all but some damb teenage christian begain praying for me. And in the pain I found my salvation in JESUS Christ. I begain praying for my ex-wife day and not at least 2 times a day if not more for 2 and a half years. Then my ex-wife walked up to and old fashion alter and exepted the lord. A couple aof years later we remarried and I will never take that back I love my wife more than anywoman on the earth. Are marrage is Christ centered and our kids are trully thankful that after all they went though they now live in a home were there parent love the lord each other and them.

There is a couple in my church that got married the first time the toughed was when he put a ring on her finger the first time they kissed was when they kissed in the wedding. The first time they were alone was on there honeymoon, all there dates were chaparoned. No they got married for the right reeason and GOD bless them what a great example for my kids to.

I read this quote once. "When you have a good marriage, there is nothing in the world like it. But when it's bad, it's hell."

Forgot who said it, though.

Sorry for my ignorance but I do not know what a "burqa" is.

Wow. Double whammy.

You want short and happy, or long and miserable?

Marry for lust and hopes become dust.
Marry for pleasure, repent at your leisure.
Marry to be served, you'll get what you deserved.
Marry drunk, live with a skunk.
Marry meaning to serve the Lord,
contentment with your spouse can be your reward;
Only then can harmony be found;
between Self, and Spouse, and the Progeny around.

Please pay him no mind. He has forgotten himself, and put himself in the mindset of a liberal who thinks virginity a crime or a waste at least. Some of us wish we had done it the way that young couple did.

A burqa is the head-to-toe covering worn by the women in Afghanistan; Mr. Jeeves is being sarcastic, implying that a Godly woman is a repressed one. Most of us know better. :-)

>>Fred Reed, AKA the perpetual juvenile.<<

Actually, my wife and I have been reading his articles since his third week. They're incredibly insightful. He has several articles about marriage and they really do hit the nail on the head.

We're both 47 and agree with him most of the time. Even when we disagree we find him very entertaining. He's good at keeping your attention.

BTW, his articles about the black community in the US are not only accurate, they're darn scary. The guy is extremely adept at analysis.

Up here in the People's Republic of Washington, if you live with a woman who has kids ... then break up and move out .... you TOO (as in also, double payment, ect) get the court sanctioned obligation of paying child support for someone else's kids. After all, it's in the interest of the child, right? Having a woman get 3 child support payments for a single child is not unheard of. And people wonder why I hate living in this hole ....

Why don't you ask your wife if she agrees with his advice in the article posted above?
