The True Purpose of Marriage

I once met a man who said, "In the forty years we've been married, my wife and I haven't had an argument."

I said to him, "Well, my marriage has not been quite that boring, personally."

I kind of like what that Britisher said when he heard that in the United States there are many divorces because of incompatibility. He made an amazing statement. He said, "I thought incompatibility was one of the purposes of marriages."
