Why Did You Marry Me?

More couples are breaking up.
Divorces are rampant.
More marriages are becoming romantic tragedies than romantic comedies.

I always say that the wedding is not the marriage, because the true characters of couples don't manifest until they have married for three to twelve months.
The fantasies of weddings are not the realities of marriages.

Is it not idiotic to whine about the loud snores of your spouse when you should have known that before your marriage?
Or a husband complaining about the unhygienic habits of his wife when be should have addressed them before marrying her.
One wife became so unhappy with her husband that she asked, "Why did you marry me?"
Many couples in unhappy marriages are in the same pathetic situation.

Don't marry anyone you cannot live with faithfully and truthfully.

Don't make your innocent children suffer from your matrital woes.
No child asked to be born by poverty stricken couple or by immature and insecure parents.
Don't make your innocent children miserable, because of your mistakes.
Marriage is not by force.
