Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.

All my mom told me was
"Just wait until you have kids of your own, then you will understand"!

And then she cursed me with "I hope you have kids just like you"!
Geez mom, did you have to curse me 3 times?!?!?!?  :evil:

These always make me laugh and I confess to using many of these "threats" in varied form on a daily basis 
Nothing more frustrating than yelling "if you don't STOP, I will beat you till you can't sit" and your punks trying to cover the smile creeping across their faces with an innocent, "Whaaaat?  I'm not laughing AT you it's just that you're funny when you get mad"  And the biggest offender... Mr. Sissy  >:(

My mother taught me how to entertain:

If you're bored, I'll give you something to do.

My mom taught me about the French Revolution:  "People do not die immediately after they are decapitated; I heard about a fellow who lingered long enough that he was able to pick it up and KISS HIS HEAD GOODBYE!"   :o

Gee, thanks for that, mom.   :D
