Marriage is a thin which only a 1 person in his or her life avoids. Millions of people get married because of the fun of family life. And it is so, if one takes it with a sense of 2___.
There is a lot of fun in falling in 3 with someone the dating and going out with the prospective fiancée. All the kinsfolk meanwhile 4___ your choice and give advice. The trick here is not to listen to them but proposal to your bride-to-be and somehow get her to 5___ your proposal. Then you may arrange the engagement and fix 6 of the wedding.
It’s so nice to get all those things - dress, rings, cars, flowers, cakes, etc.! And its great fun to pay for them. If people marry for love and not for money nothing can be more pleasant for the bride and 7 than to escape from the guests and go on a 8 trip, especially if it is a wedding present from the parents.
It's fun to return 9 home with the idea that the person you are married to is somewhat different from the one you knew. But there is no time to think about it you expect a 10 . There is no better fun for a husband than taking his wife to a maternity home alone and bringing her back with the 11 or triplets. And his is where the greatest fun starts: washing the new-born's nappies and passing away 12___ nights, earning money to keep the family, taking children to and later to 13 . By all means it’s fun to attend parents’ meetings and to learn that your 14 take after you and don’t do well at school.
The bigger your children grow, the more they resemble you outwardly and the less they display likeness with you inwardly. And you start grumbling at them and discussing with your old friends the problem of the “generation 15 ”. And when at last you and your grey-haired 16 start thinking that your family life has calmed down, you haven’t divorced but preserved your union, the climax of your fun bursts out!
One of your dearest offsprings brings a long-legged 17 to your house and says that he wants to marry. And you think: ‘Why do people ever get married?’
