MARRIAGE IS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT
Marriage is not what I had assumed it would be. One premarital assumption after another has crashed down on my head . . . Marriage is like taking an airplane to Florida for a relaxing vacation in January, and when you get off the plane you find you’re in the Swiss Alps. There’s cold and snow instead of swimming and sunshine. Well, after you buy winter clothes and learn how to ski, and learn how to talk in a new foreign language, I guess you can have just as good a vacation in the Swiss Alps as you can in Florida. But, it is a surprise when you get off that marital airplane and find that everything is far different from what one had assumed. From The Mirages of Marriage, by Lederer and Jackson
