When a man spends his time giving his wife criticism and advice instead of compliments, he forgets that it was not his good judgment, but his charming manners, that won her heart.

Why does a man take it for granted that a girl who flirts with him wants him to kiss her - when, nine times out of ten, she only wants him to want to kiss her?

A man marries one woman to escape from many others, and then chases many others to forget he's married to one.

Before marriage, when a woman speaks to a man in an undertone, he calls it "cooing"; after marriage, he calls it nagging.

The honeymoon is not actually over until we cease to stifle our sighs and begin to stifle our yawns.

A man snatches the first kiss, pleads for the second, demands the third, takes the fourth, accepts the fifth - and endures all the rest.

Love is a matter of give and take -- marriage, a matter of misgive and mistake.
