Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.

On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past - but never the present.

A foolish husband says to his wife, 'Honey, you stick to the washin', ironin', cookin' and scrubbin'. No wife of mine is gonna 'work'.

Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, and make beds and is in good health, and he's already used to taking orders.

毫无疑问，婚姻使二者合二为一，但究竟你们要成为那一个？你或是你的那一位。这往往是问题的关键
