Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Quotes 205. Today we have another one by

Past simple

Ben Franklin or Benjamin Franklin. And like I've said in many videos I've done

a lot by him already. So if you like this one go back and check some of the

previous ones. He always has good quotes  and  he always has something good to say.

All right. Let's look at today's quote.  Today's quote is ' Keep your eyes wide

open before marriage and half shot afterwards. " Okay.  It's actually a little

humorous at the same time. Let's continue with the note here. With the first part

of this quote Ben Franklin he's warning you to be very careful who you choose

for a marriage partner. It is supposed to be a lifetime commitment. So you better

make the right choice. So you had better choose wisely. Keep in mind the term

marriage material. You know does that person have the qualities that's

suitable for a husband or wife. Okay.  Let's go on. Does this person have the

qualities you want in spouse ? Does he or she have the qualities to deal with

difficult times that we all sooner or later face in a marriage ? Okay good,  and

the second part of the quote is advising you to overlook or not let small or

trivial annoyances become a big problem in your marriage. Nobody is perfect. You

won't get a perfect person. So there will always be some,  at least there will be

some minor issues. If there's some minor issues don't pick on them. Don't nag on

them. That's why you know keep your eyes half shut pretend you don't see them. Let

minor things go pretend you don't see them.You know,  just go on. Allow enough

freedom and for a marriage to go smoothly. Basically

that's what he's trying to let you know with this quote.  It's very good quote.

Anyway,  I hope you got it. I hope it's clear.  Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
