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."
Kirsten, age 10
HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL
IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
"Married people usually
look happy to talk to other
people."
Eddie, 6
"You might have to
guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids."
Derrick, age 8
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR
MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
"Both don't want no
more kids." Lori, age 8
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE
DO ON A DATE?
"Dates are for having
fun, and people should use them
to get to know each
other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough."
Lynnette, age 8.
"On the first date,
they just tell each other lies,
and that usually gets
them interested enough to go for
a second date."
Martin, age 10
HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE
DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
"There sure would
be a lot of kids to explain,
wouldn't there?"
Kelvin, age 8
"You can be sure of
one thing - the boys would come
chasing after us just
the same as they do now."
Roberta, age 7
WHAT IS THE RIGHT
AGE TO GET MARRIED?
"Twenty-three is the
best age because you know the
person FOREVER by
then." Camille, age 10
"No age is good to
get married at. You got to be a
fool to get married."
Freddie, age 6
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE
A MARRIAGE WORK?
"Tell your wife that
she looks pretty even if she
looks like a truck."
Ricky, age 10  |
