How well it sounds depends on how well you keep it in tune. Marriage is like a warm bath. Once you get used to it, it is not so hot. Marriage is like a besieged castle. Those who are outside try to get in while those who are inside try to get out.
Marriage is like a violin.
After the beautiful music is over, the strings are still attached. Marriage is the most expensive way to get your laundry free. A small tourist hotel was all abuzz about an afternoon wedding where the groom was 95 and the bride was 23. The groom looked pretty feeble and the feeling was that the wedding night might kill him, because his bride was a healthy, vivacious young woman. But lo and behold, the next morning, the bride came down the main staircase slowly, step by step, hanging onto the banister for dear life.
