==============================
她生再小的气要哄着的，我生再大的气要忍着的。
她的生日都是我操办的，我的生日也是我操办的。
她的礼物是很有价值的，我的礼物是很有意义的。
她晚回家我是要笑脸相迎的，我晚回家我要准备好头盔的。
她永远是睡卧室里的大床的，我有时是睡客厅里的沙发的。
她家的事我是要一管到底的，我家的事是没有力气帮忙的。
她烧的饭我是要吃的开心的，我烧的饭绝大多数是倒掉的。
东西她总是先吃的，她吃剩下的全都是我消灭的。
她挣的钱是不多的，我挣的钱是不少的。
她能用的却是很多的，我口袋里的实在很少的。
买衣服化妆品是归她管的，每个月的开销是很大的。
买家具大家电是我做主的，可惜几年也不买一次的。
她在外面时是光彩照人的，我看存折是心如刀割的。
她是喜欢逛街的，我是喜欢睡觉的。
她看帅哥是用瞪的，我看美女只能瞄的。
她是负责点头买东西的，我是乖乖地只能拉卡的。（逛商场时）
她的脚步是相当轻盈的，我的脚步是异常缓慢的。（逛好以后）
她是越逛越来劲的，我是越逛越没劲的。
她买好的东西有些是没用的，我是要负责处理那些东西的。
结婚是必须的，受罪是肯定的。
离婚是有可能性的，钱是要少掉一半的。
婚前财产是可以公证的，公证还肯结婚是很笨笨的。

ZT:The top ten myths of marriage
The top ten myths of marriage
By David Popenoe for Discovery Channel
The most recent U.S. Census figures confirm what most everyone already knows ― divorce rates, indeed, are on the rise.
With nearly half of all marriages ending in divorce, many couples are starting to re-evaluate their relationships.
But before you start any heady analysis, it's important to know the facts from the myths when it comes to marriage:
1. Myth: Marriage benefits men much more than women.
Fact: Contrary to earlier and widely publicized reports, recent research finds men and women to benefit about equally from marriage, although in different ways. Both men and women live longer, happier, healthier and wealthier lives when they are married. Husbands typically gain greater health benefits, while wives gain greater financial advantages.
2. Myth: Having children typically brings a married couple closer together and increases marital happiness.
Fact: Many studies have shown that the arrival of the first baby commonly has the effect of pushing the mother and father farther apart, and bringing stress to the marriage. However, couples with children have a slightly lower rate of divorce than childless couples.
3. Myth: The keys to long-term marital success are good luck and romantic love.
Fact: Rather than luck and love, the most common reasons couples give for their long-term marital success are commitment and companionship. They define their marriage as a creation that has taken hard work, dedication and commitment (to each other and to the institution of marriage). The happiest couples are friends who share lives and are compatible in interests and values.
4. Myth: The more educated a woman becomes, the lower her chances of getting married.
Fact: A recent study based on marriage rates in the mid-1990s concluded that today's women college graduates are more likely to marry than their non-college peers, despite their older age at first marriage. This is a change from the past, when women with more education were less likely to marry.
5. Myth: Couples who live together before marriage, and are thus able to test how well suited they are for each other, have more satisfying and longer-lasting marriages than couples who do not.
Fact: Many studies have found that those who live together before marriage have less satisfying marriages and a considerably higher chance of eventually breaking up. One reason is that people who cohabit may be more skittish of commitment and more likely to call it quits when problems arise. But in addition, the very act of living together may lead to attitudes that make happy marriages more difficult. The findings of one recent study, for example, suggest "there may be less motivation for cohabiting partners to develop their conflict resolution and support skills." (One important exception: Cohabiting couples who are already planning to marry each other in the near future have just as good a chance at staying together as couples who don't live together before marriage).
6. Myth: People can't be expected to stay in a marriage for a lifetime as they did in the past because we live so much longer today.
Fact: Unless our comparison goes back a hundred years, there is no basis for this belief. The enormous increase in longevity is due mainly to a steep reduction in infant mortality. And while adults today can expect to live a little longer than their grandparents, they also marry at a later age. The life span of a typical, divorce-free marriage, therefore, has not changed much in the past 50 years. Also, many couples call it quits long before they get to a significant anniversary: Half of all divorces take place by the seventh year of a marriage.
7. Myth: Marrying puts a woman at greater risk of domestic violence than if she remains single.
Fact: Contrary to the proposition that for men "a marriage license is a hitting license," a large body of research shows that being unmarried ― and especially living with a man outside of marriage ― is associated with a considerably higher risk of domestic violence for women. One reason for this finding is that married women may significantly underreport domestic violence. Further, women are less likely to marry and more likely to divorce a man who is violent. Yet it is probably also the case that married men are less likely to commit domestic violence because they are more invested in their wives' well-being, and more integrated into the extended family and community. These social forces seem to help check men's violent behavior.
8. Myth: Married people have less satisfying sex lives, and less sex, than single people.
Fact: According to a large-scale national study, married people have both more and better sex than do their unmarried counterparts. Not only do they have sex more often but they enjoy it more, both physically and emotionally.
9. Myth: Cohabitation is just like marriage, but without "the piece of paper."
Fact: Cohabitation typically does not bring the benefits ― in physical health, wealth and emotional wellbeing ― that marriage does. In terms of these benefits, cohabitants in the United States more closely resemble singles than married couples. This is due, in part, to the fact that cohabitants tend not to be as committed as married couples, and they are more oriented toward their own personal autonomy and less to the well-being of their partner.
10. Myth: Because of the high divorce rate, which weeds out the unhappy marriages, people who stay married have happier marriages than people did in the past when everyone stuck it out, no matter how bad the marriage.
Fact: According to what people have reported in several large national surveys, the general level of happiness in marriages has not increased and probably has declined slightly. Some studies have found in recent marriages, compared to those of 20 or 30 years ago, significantly more work-related stress, more marital conflict and less marital interaction.
