I’m going to try something different this week (Monday through Friday) and post about a single theme: marriage. I’d appreciate hearing your insights along the way.Here's some wit and wisdom from children about dating, love, and marriage:
What do most people do on a date?
"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." -Martin, Age 10
Concerning why love happens between two particular people:
"I think you're supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn't supposed to be so painful." -Harlen, Age 8
Some surefire ways to make a person fall in love with you:
"Don't do things like have smelly, green sneakers. You might get attention, but attention ain't the same thing as love." -Alonzo, Age 9
On the role of good looks in love:
"If you want to be loved by somebody who isn't already in your family, it doesn't hurt to be beautiful." -Jeanne, Age 8
How can you tell if two adults eating dinner at a restaurant are in love?
"Lovers will just be staring at each other and their food will get cold. Other people care more about the food." -Brad, Age 8
The great debate: is it better to be single or married?
"It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I'm just a kid. I don't need that kind of trouble." -Will, Age 7
What is marriage?
"Marriage is when you get to keep your girl and don't have to give her back to her parents." -Eric, Age 6
How can a stranger tell if two people are married?
"You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids." -Derrick, age 8
How to make love endure:
"Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash." -Randy, Age 8
"Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck." -Ricky, age 10

Love these! I sure hope my husband doesn't think I look like a truck!
ReplyDeleteThese are priceless, especially "It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I'm just a kid. I don't need that kind of trouble." -Will, Age 7.

Only young children can come out with these priceless thoughts.

Sadly, Bill and I probably fall into the second camp most days. I do remember staring at each other and hardly being able to eat. I guess if we stayed like that forever, we'd starve.
