The Ten Commandments of Marriage
Commandment 1.
Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning.
Commandment 2.
If you want your wife to listen and pay strict attention to every word you
say, talk in your sleep.
Commandment 3.
Marriage is grand -- and divorce is at least 500 grand!
Commandment 4.
Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man
speaks and the woman listens.
In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens.
From the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.
Commandment 5.
When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one
thing:
Either the car is new or the wife is.
Commandment 6.
Marriage is when a man and woman become as one;
The trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
Commandment 7.
Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something
you said.
After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish.
Commandment 8.
Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, lusty
and a good cook.
But Australian law allows only one wife.
Commandment 9.
Marriage and love are purely matter of chemistry.
That is why wives treat their husbands like toxic waste.
Commandment 10.
A man is incomplete until he is married.
After that, he is finished.
Bonus Commandment story.
A long married couple came upon a wishing well.
The husband leaned over, made a wish and threw in a penny.
The wife decided to make a wish too.
But she leaned over too much, fell into the well, and drowned.
The husband was stunned for a moment but then smiled,
"Hey, it really works!"
