The Real Reason Marriages Fail

So many marriages Are failing today Not because of disappointing sex That's not why your lover's your ex And don't tell me your stars no longer align Or that 'interests naturally diverge' over time Psychologists will point to a lack of communication 'Cos it'll get 'em featured in a magazine publication No, Folks -- The real reason for a couple's cold war Is that the other won't admit that he or she snores

I was waiting for the punchline, and it was totally unexpected as I imagined it was going to be.

Oh, goody gumdrops! I'm so happy when I'm not predictable -- a pretty rare occurrence. Thanks for letting me know, Caren. :) gw

G’day Gershon … got to have someone stay on guard while your sleeping - good one Gershon - Lindsay

Great suggestion, Lindsay. I'll phone Trump and ask him to call out the National Guard!

I guess I'm lucky - my hubby says I have a 'cute' snore - but his is like a bear's :)

Hmm... A 'cute bear's' snore, perhaps? lol. Thanks, Michelle.

Oh no, you didn’t! Need to keep the hearth warm, not with lust but attention. Make your bed, plump those pillows ;)

Haha! Just a light poem here. Not to be taken too seriously... I'm told that there is an occasional marriage or two that does fail for this very reason, however. Cheers, Gershon

Hello Gershon Wolf, my mother snored, my father snored. My husband snored. It was when it was quiet i woke up to see what was wrong. Snoring does not bother me. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hello Gershon, My husband had a breathing machine When I did not hear the sound of it, I would wake up. Right! does The sound of snoring does not bother me. Enjoy your day my friend.
