May I also add the following musings on the subject:

1. Everything every stand-up comedian ever said about marriage is true, to a greater or lesser degree.

2. Brevity is not just the soul of wit, but of Romance. And probably moreso the latter.

3. I love my wife, but I miss my girlfriend.


Best scene in "Enchanted," a good movie:

Fairy tale Prince Edward knocks at the wrong door, looking for his princess. A worn out, frumpy housewife answers the door, surrounded by clinging, greasy, clawing children. The woman and the Prince share an awkward, unspoken silence, which she breaks with: "You're too late."

The Prince leaves without saying a word.
