The following are some delightful responses to questions put to some children age 10 and under. We hope you enjoy the marriage wisdom from kids and they keep you smiling! |

How do you know who you should marry? 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 My mother says to look for a man who is kind . . . That's what I'll do . . . I'll find somebody who's kinda tall and handsome. -Carolyn, age 8 You flip a nickel, and heads means you stay with him and tails means you try the next one. -Kelly, age 9 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 Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife! - Tom, age 5 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 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 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 What do you think of falling in love? I'm in favor of love as long as it doesn't happen when 'The Simpsons' is on television. -Anita, age 6 Love will find you, even if you are trying to hide from it. I have been trying to hide from it since I was five, but the girls keep finding me. -Bobby, age 8 If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don't want to do it. It takes too long. -Leo, age 7 I think you're supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn't supposed to be so painful. -Harlen, age 8 Do you think looks matter in marriage? It isn't always just how you look. Look at me. I'm handsome like anything and I haven't got anybody to marry me yet. - Gary, age 7 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 You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a big ring and her own VCR, 'cause she'll want to have videos of the wedding. - Jim, age 10 Never kiss in front of other people. It's a big embarrassing thing if anybody sees you. But if nobody see you, I might be willing to try it with a handsome boy, but just for a few hours. -Kally, 9 It's never okay to kiss a boy. They always slobber all over you . . . That's why I stopped doing it." - Jean, age 10 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 It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I'm just a kid. I don't need that kind of trouble. -Kenny, age 7 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 How would you make a marriage work? Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump truck. - anonymous Don't forget your wife's name . . . That will mess up the love. -Roger, age 8 Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash. -Randy, age 8 |
