Marriages are made in Heaven!! Oh...Really? - Funny Facts about Marriage.

In one of my previous article ‘I can get along …I cannot’, I had written on a serious note, as to why compatibility is important for the modern day marriage or relationship. Most of us have our highs and lows in a relationship, especially with our better half (Who is better here? The husband or the wife? I leave it to the readers to decide.) On a lighter vein, I wish to share with the readers some interesting facts about marriage and the humorous side of it.

Facts about Marriage:

1. Marriage is like a deck of cards. In the beginning, all we need is two hearts. By the end, we wish we had a club and a spade.
2. It is said that Marriages are made in Heaven and ordained from above, but so are hurricanes ordained from above.
3. Marriage is successful, as long as the husband and wife work as partners. The trouble begins, when they try to establish an identity of their own and make it a sole proprietorship.
4. Every man wants a beautiful, understanding and a smart wife who likes to cook. Remember to make sure, that you do not let all the four women meet.
5. In the first year of marriage, the husband will pull out the chair for the wife to sit. However, a couple of years down the line, they will be pulling out at each other’s hair.
6. There must be a give and take policy in marriage. The husband gives and the wife takes.
7. Communication is important for a successful marriage and this is the way it goes…The wife is docile and demure. Therefore, the husband speaks and the wife listens in the first year. In the second year, there is a reversal of role. Now the husband is docile and demure. The wife speaks and the husband listens. In the third year, the husband and wife speak and the neighbors listen.
8. Compromising is important in marriage….the wife and husband always compromise. The wife is always right and the husband always agrees.
9. Until we get married, we are not complete but after marriage, we stay confused.
10. This one is for the men. If you are wrong and stay quiet, you are wise, but if you are right and stay silent, it means that you are married.

Marriages are indeed made in heaven and no marriage is perfect. It is the flaws in marriage that add to the charm.

As somebody said” My wife and I were happy for twenty-five years, until we met.”
