Kids On Marriage

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids)

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.-- Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with...-- Kristen, age 10


WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.-- Camille, age 10


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


WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

Both don't want any more kids. -- Lori, age 8


WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough...-- Lynnette, age 8 ( isn't she a treasure? )

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 ( isn't he ready for the world of dating?)


WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.-- Craig, age 9


WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

When they're rich.-- Pam, age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.-- Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them... It's the right thing to do.-- Howard, age 8


IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)


HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?-- Kelvin, age 8 (I like this kid)


And the Number 1 Favorite is ....

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.-- Ricky, age 10 ( He'll be married forever )

My Dad and my Mom were married 28 years. Joyfully. After Mom died suddenly, Dad remarried, about 3 years later. He and my Step-mom, a kind and loving Christian woman, a widow herself with 3 boys and a girl, have been married about that long themselves.

Someone asked him his secret, two good marriages, both long term. He said
"We share love and faith. The kids are just a gift. We occasionally have a strong difference of opinion though, but that only continues until one of us realizes I was wrong." :-)

I had to laugh about the child who talked about if we should be married or single. My poor wife is forever making sure that I am on the right path and putting up with me. She is my angel who watches over me.

These were great! I went to a speech our Lt. Govenor gave and he listed several answers that his grandson gave that were very similar and possesed the humility and honesty that children have when you ask them something.

Brigid, I've used a similar line with my wife, and she laughs. And laughs. And laughs. (sigh)

Lucky, thanks. My daughters taught me I should never ask a question unless I really, really want to know the answer!
