Posted on by Parul Thakur

I have written about Aunty Acid and that I find her funny and true almost all the time. This one on Rachna’s timeline left me giggling.

The jokes on husbands and wives have been there forever and will stay. I don’t know the reason but it could be the relationship or the equation that couples share or it’s fun for the sake of togetherness. Sometimes, they cross the line but if you look just how witty they are, you will sure enjoy.

Yes, there are stereotypes like women only shop or look for money and men are poor sufferers etc. but this post is not about that. So for #FridayReflections today, here are some more funny quotes that I have come across.

  • Every man should get married some time; after all, happiness is not the only thing in life!! – Anonymous
  • By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher – Socrates

  • I love being married. It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life. – Rita Rudner

  • In a happy marriage it is the wife who provides the climate, the husband the landscape. – Gerald Brenan

  • When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her. – Sacha Guitry

  • When a man opens a car door for his wife, it’s either a new car or a new wife. – Prince Philip

  • My wife dresses to kill. She cooks the same way. – Henny Youngman
  • Marriage is give and take. You’d better give it to her or she’ll take it anyway. – Joey Adam
  • A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man. – Lana Turner
  • Marriage is the alliance of two people, one of whom never remembers birthdays and the other who never forgets them. – Ogden Nash
  • Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not.- Albert Einstein
  • An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets, the more interested he is in her. –Agatha Christie
  • A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband. – Michel de Montaigne
  • My wife and I have the secret to making a marriage last. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, a little wine, good food….. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays. – Henry Youngman

These are just a few ones and there are many more to make you laugh and to reflect upon this relationship that they call the institution of marriage.

My take – if you meet the right person, marriage is beautiful. You get a companion and friend for life. There is comfort in presence and the joy of growing old together. Yes, there are ups and downs, arguments, no-talk zones but there are smiles, conversations and many happy moments. To sum it up for you,

The secret to a happy marriage is if you can be at peace with someone within four walls, if you are content because the one you love is near to you, either upstairs or downstairs, or in the same room, and you feel that warmth that you don’t find very often, then that is what love is all about. – Bruce Forsyth

  8. I love the scene in the movie, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” where the main character’s mom and aunt go through a whole charade to get her father to “come up with a great idea” they had already come up with so that he would think it was coming from him.
    Thanks for sharing.

  10. And I believe if you can agree to disagree without being disrespectful, you’re just right for each other. Not at all necessary that you agree with each other all the time. You have to learn to coexist as ‘We’ instead of ‘I’ or ‘You’.

  12. I like the last Bruce Forsyth quote the best – after 30+ years of marriage I think it is nice to emphasise the positive and leave the rest alone 🙂 PS: I love your hook and worm at the side!

  13. the quote from acid aunty is so funny 😀 Ever since I started understanding the stereotypes related to married woman I stopped finding these quotes funny. I mean men say it’s a joke… but imagine how many actually believe this generalisation. It all starts with a joke…

  15. I think the “archeologist” is my favorite – I’m pretty self-serving! 🙂 I enjoyed reading this entertaining list. Thanks for putting it together! #FridayReflections
