Yup.

I was 20, wife was 18 when we met. 20+ years later I can’t imagine life without her.


The only reason you’re still married is because your wife has the patience of Job.


In all likely hood, the reason he's still married is that on a scale of 1-10, he's at least 2 points better than his wife and she knows it.
If for one minute she thought she could trade up she'd leave him.

Nothing against his wife in particular, that's just the hypergamous, monkey-branching nature of women.


You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
