She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her 20\u2019s, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40\u2019s, and a preacher when in her 60\u2019s, and now \u2013 in her 80\u2019s \u2013 a funeral director.<\/p>\n<p>The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers.<\/p>\n<p>She smiled and explained, \u201cI married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>================================<br \/>\nOne man shared this advice on how he was able to make through 50 years of marriage:<br \/>\nAt Saint Mary\u2019s Catholic Church they have a weekly husband\u2019s marriage seminar.<\/p>\n<p>At the session last week, the Priest asked Luigi, who was approaching his 50th wedding anniversary, to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he had managed to stay married to the same woman all these years.<\/p>\n<p>Luigi replied to the assembled husbands, \u201cWell, I\u2019ve tried to treat her nizza, spend money on her, but best of all is that I took her to Italy for the 20th anniversary!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Priest responded, \u201cLuigi, you are an amazing inspiration to all the husbands here! Please tell us what you are planning for your wife for your 50th anniversary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luigi proudly replied, \u201cI\u2019m gonna go get her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>================================<br \/>\nOn their way to get married, a young Catholic couple is involved in a fatal car accident.<br \/>\nThe couple found themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven. While waiting, they began to wonder: Could they possibly get married in Heaven?<\/p>\n<p>When St. Peter showed up, they asked him. St. Peter said, \u201cI don\u2019t know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out,\u2019\u201c and he left.<\/p>\n<p>The couple sat and waited, and waited. Two months passed and the couple were still waiting. While waiting, they began to wonder what would happen if it didn\u2019t work out; could you get a divorce in heaven?<\/p>\n<p>After yet another month, St. Peter finally returned, looking somewhat bedraggled. \u201cYes,\u201d he informed the couple, \u201cYou can get married in Heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreat!\u201d said the couple, \u201cBut we were just wondering, what if things don\u2019t work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slammed his clipboard onto the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d asked the frightened couple. \u201cOh, come on!,\u201d St. Peter shouted, \u201cIt took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it\u2019ll take me to find a lawyer?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just gotten married for the fourth time.
