HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO 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
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
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
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
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 truck.

One of my friend sent me this by mail but its realy interesting to see what kids think about marriage….
[...] There is a brilliant post at Whistling Woods with quotes from kids when asked questions about marriage. (Apparently this has done the e-mail rounds but it missed me). [...]
“Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.”

“There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn’t there?”

haha brilliant.
First time I saw a message by email become a top post. This just means you know what will interest people I guess. This post is interesting mainly because kids have such a different point of view on everything and they give it to you straight.
[...] Let me show you very nice post from this blog. [...]
i especially liked Derrick’s thoughts on the question.
Kevin (age 8 ) is an extremely promising young man
.

LOL maybe, just maybe, if we see her mom’s picture we’ll see he really doesn’t have such a big imagination
Love this. Just blogged on something similar. Kelvin and Ricky are very very sharp. Kids say great stuff like when my 3 year old told me to bang him on the top of the head when he was constipated. When I asked why on earth would I do that, his reasoning was that it works with ketchup bottles.
LMAO rock on ricky dude!
