    Marriage: The license to annoy?

    "I love being married. It's so great to
    find one special person
    you want
    to annoy for the rest of your life."


    Rita Rudner


    It happens when you marry the wrong person. We are impatient as a society and finding a significant other by a specified age sometimes leads to settling for your "not so perfect for you" partner . . . which leads to annoyance.

    There is a saying that I use often and truly believe in ~

    "Don't wait for the one you can live with,
    wait for the one you can't live without"

    You tolerate the one you can live with, which can lead to annoyance and resentment if you happen to make it through many years. The one you can't live without is a magical thing, like in a fairy tale of happily ever after . . . true love and adoration.

    How many of us find that in our lifetime?

    How many of us would remain single if we adopted that philosophy?

    How many of us settled and are annoyed with ourselves for settling?
