Deciding who to marry.

How do you decide who to marry??

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.

But why do I not believe that any of these are not created in a little Readers Digest type adult think tank!?? Mostly they just don't ring true at all. Kids do say amazing things, but these are all kind of too pat.

Hey I used this for a lesson last year...
Bloody PSHE can be soo boring, so I took this in when they had to think about whether marrage is outdated or not.

They all loved that last one, haha!

AussiePam's right, of course. These are things which sound like things ADULTS have written, thinking they'd be cute coming from children. Dennis the Menace is a good example.

But I liked 'em.
