I got married because I didn't know what the hell was going on. For the next two or three years, I was thinking, "What the hell just happened and how did it happen?" It was all a fog. One moment, I'm livin' the loco la vida, the next I'm married. BUT, it has worked out great and if I hadn't gotten married I never would have gotten my act straight and my wife is the best wife a man could hope for. Although, for some reason, I keep hearing in my mind, "got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack, i went out for a ride and I never went back." Hmmm.

That is the same siren song I hear...I just never go out for the ride. And I've been to Baltimore.
I have found marriage to be the ultimate conundrum (all definitions in Mariam-Webster).
But marriage, to re-issue a quote from Winston Churchill, is best summed: "The best argument for marriage is a five-minute conversation on your first bad date."
Or, more famously: "Marriage is the worst form of a relationship except for all those others that have been tried."
