 MARRIAGE - a child's view

 

How Do You Decide Who to Marry? (written by kids)


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 (isn't she a treasure)

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

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 (bless you child)

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
