When we get married, we say that it is for better or for worse.
Of course, most of us expect things to get better but when we look at it realistically, we know that there are going to be ups and downs in our relationship.
It’s important to make sure both the husband and wife are on board with what is expected in the relationship.
Some people will keep this a secret until it is almost too late to make changes but others will let you know how they feel upfront.
Such was the case in the following joke. It involves a new husband and wife and a lesson that is about to become painfully obvious.
Tom finally decided to tie the knot with his long-time girlfriend.
One evening, after the honeymoon, he was cleaning one of his hot rods for an upcoming show.
His wife was standing there at the bench watching him.
After a long period of silence, she finally speaks.
“Honey, I’ve just been thinking, now that we are married maybe it’s time you quit spending all your time out here in the garage and you probably should just consider selling all your cars.”
Tom gets this horrified look on his face.
She says, “Darling, what’s wrong?”
“There for a minute, you were starting to sound like my ex-wife.”
“Ex-wife!”, she screams, “You never told me you were married before!”
Tom’s reply,
“I wasn’t”.
