Marriage
So, all you really have to do to get married is promise to love and cherish your partner from this day forward for as long as you both should live.... and you're secretly thinking to yourself, so, how bad can it really get?
I am reminded of a story I read somewhere about a couple.... let's call them Ken and Barbie. Right after the wedding, Barbie found out that Ken was out on bail for armed robbery, was already married, had a son with a history of arson, and that he had taken out $250,000 in life insurance on her at their wedding reception. I guess it's safe to say that they didn't have a very pleasant honeymoon. I cannot remember where I first heard this story, but, I apologize to whoever it was... It serves as a constant reminder to me of everything that my marriage isn't.
So, I suppose it can always be worse.... in which case, I suppose I'll forgive my husband for not doing the dishes last night.... this time, anyway.
