TOO MUCH OF HAPPINESS OFTEN LEADS TO SADNESS!

The following was recorded at a public enlightenment programme on "THE JOY IN MARRIAGE".

MODERATOR: Sir, is marriage a good thing or a bad thing?

HUSBAND: Well, l can't say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

MODERATOR: Are you married?

HUSBAND: Yes, l am.

MODERATOR: Do you enjoy your marriage or not?

HUSBAND: Well, l can't say whether l enjoy it or not.

MODERATOR: Now, let's go a bit raw. Don't you enjoy love making with your wife?

HUSBAND: How can I enjoy it when she cries always we are on it like a baby.

She also had an interview with the wife as follows:

MODERATOR: Madam, do you love your marriage?

MADAM: How can I love my marriage when l don't even feel like a married woman?

MODERATOR: Let's go a bit raw. Do you enjoy love making with your husband or not?

MADAM: How can I enjoy love making with him when he always sigh and groans like an old man under the weight of a heavy load.

MODERATOR: It seems, the marriage has broken down irretrievably; which means we have to dissolve it?

HUSBAND AND WIFE: Should we put the custody of the children under your care?

MODERATOR: Good. Now, how many are they?

HUSBAND AND WIFE: Twenty one!

MODERATOR: That is it! You see, nothing kills the joy of a marriage like the burden of too many children.
