I was sitting in a strip joint in a little southern Oregon town one night (don't ask) and one of the patrons got out of hand. The bouncer, who was sitting next to me said, "I'm about to get western." which tickled the hell out of me. When the guy had been knocked silly, the bouncer kinda grabbed him by the collar to lift him. Still shakey on his legs, the bouncer then said to him, "You better cowboy up, son." Then, he tossed him out.
In regards to marriage, as any situation, you need only ask yourself three questions (regardless of whether you are a guy or a gal):
A)Where am I?
B)Why am I here
C)Who is here with me?
Those three questions, if answered honestly, will prevent a lot of potentially bad marriages and save a lot of potentially good ones.
Interesting set of questions.They might help some here.But some,I fear,are too filled with propaganda,hubris,and bile to heed them;sadly.
Well...those are the questions Admiral Stockdale asked rhetorically on national TV, and look what happened to HIM!
