to spend the rest of their lives together ...

and some guy her dad once did business with,

You know, because they can't hear the snoring anymore.

and smash cake in each others' faces and do the "Macarena,"

half of them will be divorced within a decade.

and arguing about where to spend holidays

will even still be enjoying each others' company

when neither of them can chew solid food anymore.

I mean, look, it doesn't take a double-blind, placebo-controlled study

to figure out what makes a marriage not work.

But you can have the exact opposite of all of those things --

and the thing still can go to hell in a hand basket.

And if you're still happily sleeping solo,

that you can annoy for the rest of your life?

Well researchers spend billions of your tax dollars

and they study their every move and mannerism.

from their miserable neighbors and friends.

actually, beyond they don't have sex with other people.

the wife is thinner and better looking than the husband.

It's obvious that this leads to marital bliss

who are thinner and better looking than they are.

we just have to be thinner than our partners.
