Marriage 301: relationship advice from Griff

Griff is the home health care nurse that visits us weekly. He is originally from the Pacific Islands, but that was decades ago. He has made America his home and even served in our military. We look forward to his visits and usually have a lively discussion. The topic for last week - marriage.

Griff says: (not to me directly) "My dear, when you marry a man you are marrying a child. If you are not willing to raise that man, then you should not get married."

When I was in college a friend of mine was getting married and her mom said, "In marriage, the wife gives and gives and gives...and when the husband reaches about the age of 55 that investment pays off."

The two seem to have a common thread. Do you think it is accurate?

just Sheri, curious
