Six-Word Couplet Series Encore

Wedding Vows At the altar I did falter. Marriage woes Woman to woo said, I do! Faux Pas As an afterthought Upon myself brought, Married Life Dark ominous cloud, I bemoan aloud. Divorce Fierce I battled All debts settled; Lesson Learned Bachelors better beware Escape Vixen’s Snare! ~10/11/18 ~SIX-WORD COUPLET SERIES ENCORE Contest Sponsor: Mark Toney

Abdul, congratulations on your first place with this witty look at marriage. My mother used to say, "Marry in haste, repent in leisure." Your couplets made me think of her advice.

"Marry in haste, repent in leisure." Hey, Carolyn, this is a good one...but you know, my problem. I married in leisure and repented in haste! lol.
