Marriage is Like a Deck of Cards

Marriage is Like a Deck of Cards

Kathy and I cracked up when we read this:

Marriage is like a deck of cards.

In the beginning all you need is
two hearts and a diamond.

By the end, you wish you had a club and a spade.

Obviously, this is not a key in a wonderful marriage, but if you’ve been married for more than a nanosecond, I bet you’re smiling.

    It’s what most people think about going into marriage. But it takes much more than that…

      It is easy…easy to do marriage right and easy not to do marriage right.

    It is both funny and sad in that too many marriages go down such a road these days.

      Very true, Mark.

      At the same time, Kathy and I have a great marriage, but sometimes I’m sure she’s wishing for a club and spade anyway :)

    You put a smile on my face. The ability to sey aside the word unfair sometimes work.

      Often it’s the simplest humor that puts the biggest smiles on our faces :)
