Ah, yes, in some cases. My marriage was not that way, however. Well...other than the thermostat!

I'm trying my best to behave and, believe me, it isn't easy. A no (or very little) salt diet is the pits when you've always had a taste for salty foods. But, it's the difference between life and death, so I'm doing my best! Thanks, Vie.

I am sure you are absolutely right, Alexis, even if it isn't true, lots of men feel that they don't get a say after they are married. Of course, if that's the case, they probably allowed it to happen, don't you think?

Thanks, Darlene. Having performed hundreds of ceremonies, there are the vows which come after the "I Do's." The thought just came into my head, and I found it amusing.

Inspiring and very well-written Monoku Milton. That moment will mark the end of all debates between the groom and his soon-to-be wife since from that point on, and the groom will get the final phrase he'll ever hear, which is "I do!"
