Kids perspective on love & marriage

By on 17

 {source}

Sometimes life and love can be so complicated we just don’t know what to do, who to ask or where to go. I always love asking older people who have been married for what seems like an eternity their secret to it all – love, life, marriage.Their advice is always treasured gold, advice so valuable not even books can teach it. I first wrote about this advice here but thought why not look at this from a different perspective. Why not find advice from a kid’s perspective? So for a burst of cuteness on your Friday here is some advice from the mouth of babes…

Love & Marriage … from a kids perspective

1. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHOM 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.– Kristen, age 10

2. 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

3. HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at
the same kids.
— Derrick, age 8

4. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON
Both don’t want any more kids.
– Lori, age 8

5. 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
 
6. WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they’re rich.
— Pam, age 7
The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn’t want to mess with
that.
– – Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry
them and have kids with them. It’s the right thing to do.
– – Howard, age 8
 
7. IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It’s better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone
to clean up after them.
— Anita, age 9

8. 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

9. HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump
truck.

    Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump truck. – This is pretty amusing but sweet as well. Haha. It’s funny how kids nowadays think. They talk, think, and act like adults. When I was 8, I didn’t give a damn about marriage stuff, all I cared about is ice cream and marshmallows. Haha!

    @Angie – Yes I so agree that’s why I wanted to share it 🙂 They are just so innocent and fuss free, I love it!!

    Love that post… Kids can be so hilarious. But it still makes me think – is that the way kids get to know love & marriage?

    This is so cute and funny! It’s amazing how perceptive kids can be isn’t it? Also, on some of these points they have such crystal clarity… I wonder why we lose that as we get older…
