I read an article about love, marriage, and relationships a long time ago and it made a point that I’ve never forgotten. The author said that we shouldn’t be so judgemental of the “many married” because they were the true romantics. The ones who believed that their fairy tale and their happily ever after was just around the corner. Above all, these people who kept trying were not afraid to make themselves vulnerable and we willing to keep trying. They weren’t quitters (except, I guess, on some of their marriages). But I’m not judging these folks because I’ve been married more than once. I’m one of them. I’ve never been able to find that article and I’d love to re-read it. Meanwhile, this older lady’s way of thinking seems to work for her and may make a lot of sense to you. Enjoy this hilarious joke!
There was a lady in her 90s who became a sort of local celebrity because she had recently gotten married. The local news station decided to interview her. The interviewer asked questions like how it was to be a newlywed in her 90s.
“This isn’t my first husband, so it’s not much different than the others,” she replied with a smile.
“Oh? How many husbands have you had?” the interviewer inquired. “This one will be my fourth,” she replied.
“I was married in my 20s to a banker, then in my 40s to a circus performer. After that, I married a preacher.”
“What does your current husband do?”
“Oh, he’s a funeral director.”
The interviewer laughed and then asked how she came to marry these men from such different backgrounds and personalities.
“It always made sense to me,” she replied. “I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go.”
