VOL.31 MEN AND MARRIAGE

When a friend whom John and Mary had considered a confirmed bachelor finally got married, at 60, they asked why he had waited so long. "Well," he explained, "if she turns out to be an old nag, I won't have to live with her very long. But if she turns out to be a kind and understanding companion, she was well worth waiting for." |
