Looking for married couples to share their secrets

[seaside2]

Old thread, but I've got to tell this one. True story.

There is a couple that taught young married adults in a local church for many, many years. They really knew how to nurture young couples and help them grow their marriages. He is a great big guy and she is a minnie mouse, and they are all well known throughout the community.

One day in the grocery store they were in a big long line of people (Snow was predicted and people were buying out the stores). One of their previous class members were in the store in a line adjacent to theirs.

The man asked the teacher what was the success of their marriage for these many years.

The teacher leaned back, paused and answered in his normal very loud voice,

"Why son, it's sex, pure unadulterated, mattress pounding raw sex"

Brought down the house.


In our case 40 years in August. Our secret, if there is one, is to love the other person more than you love yourself.

RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE


1. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.

2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in California and mine is in Texas.

3. I take my wife everywhere... but she keeps finding her way back.

4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. She said somewhere I haven't been in a long time. So I suggested the kitchen.

5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said there are too many gadgets and no place to sit down! So I bought her an electric chair.

7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was; she said me; in the lake.

8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.

9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling Am I too late for the garbage? The driver said No, jump in!

10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.

11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.

12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.

13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife asked, what?s on the TV? I said Dust!
