Marriage teaches you forbearances, meekness, patience, thriftiness and a great many things you wouldn't need if you had stayed single. Marriage is like a piano. 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.
