Rules the roost. Marriage is an institution in which the man loses his Bachelor's degree and the woman gets her Master's. Marriage is bliss. Ignorance is bliss. Marriage is not a word.
Marriage is the mourning after the knot before.
Marriage is the only sport in which the trapped animal has to buy the license. Marriage means commitment. Of course, so does insanity. Marry not a tennis player, for love means nothing to them. Something between a mister and a mattress.
