Smart couple

Oct.24 happened to be my wedding day (You have to give it to us. What tolerance level from both sides for 21 years, especially me..hehe).
What’s the secret of your marriage success? asked my friend jovially.
“Give-and-take policy,” I boasted.
“No, I heard your wife hardly gets a chance to talk as you do all the talking,” he continued.
“Change the topic,” I replied.
“I asked you because divorce cases are increasing. After wedding, a bridegroom in Lanka found out that the wife’s family had lied. During the same evening of the wedding day, he said he was going to the market and never returned. This woman remains single even now at 40,” he said.
“Ya, I have heard such stories.”
“There was another couple who separated after 15 years of marriage. Is it not funny?” he asked.
“Temme something positive,” I pleaded.
“OK, there’s this couple happily married for 40 years,” he said.
“Boring,” I joked.
“They stay in different cities for the past 20 years,” he laughed.

  1. There are also some couples who fight in the lunch table and enjoy food in the dinner.

    We live in a society where everybody has different style of living.

  6. ha!...my friend and me had the same discussion today.....I think after a certain time husband-wife relationship ceases being a relationship. It becomes like a background in ones life.

    Don't know what to say about this marriage and relationships today. May be it is being redefined and every couple customize the definition as per their choice :)
