WARNING: This may be one of the most emotionally painful things you have ever read... I'm not joking. It's very bittersweet.
Why get married?
- so you can pick up his dirty socks every day for the rest of your life
- so you can hold her hair while she pukes
- so his mother can tell you how much cleaner her house was when he was growing up
- so you can get screamed at every 28 days... like clockwork...
- so you can spot treat her underwear
- so you can experience the joy of taking care of a 250 pound, 46 year old sick child who looks exactly like your husband
- so you can hear him snore
- so there is a designated person you could be having sex with but arent't at the moment
- so you can have someone tell you to eat healthy, cuz God knows you didn't get enough of that growing up
- so you can hold her while she cries her eyes out every once in a while
- so you can hold him while he cries a tear or two... twice
- so you will never be able to make a decision on your own
- so you can try and fail many times to get her to make a decision on her own
- so you will have someone else in the house who's always wrong, even when he's right
- so you can argue with each other about whether to have children
- so you can argue with each other about how to raise your children
- so you can argue with your children
- so you can tell your wife not to tell your daughter in law that she kept the house so much cleaner when your son was growing up
- so you can watch the man you love get old, fat, deaf and grouchy
- so you can watch the woman you love remain just as pretty as she was all those years ago
- so, someday, you can stand beside his hospital bed and hold his hand as you tell the doctors to...
If you love each other, you'll understand...
