For happy ever after try to remember that actions speak louder than saying “I do”
I”ve been married twice. Both times on the same day (one year apart) and both times to the same person. Our first wedding was a civil one in England. My wife breezed into action eight months pregnant, wearing bright green flip-flops. She was a vision of improvised loveliness.

Keep the roof down and your ego – and hair – won”t get blown out of all proportion
It”s a sad moment when you first experience the consequences of physical decay. I was on holiday in the South of France and returned after a long day on a hot beach. By dinner-time I was experiencing a form of stationary sea-sickness. I went to bed in a dark, quiet room and any interruption was torture.

It’s not the payment that I mind, it’s the punishment for forgetting about it
I received the bad news from my wife. Clasping her palms to her forehead as we drove to Ikea (because is there is no other way to be alone with my wife these days), she uttered an expletive in her native Greek and then said in English that she had forgotten to pay the ‘conjecture’ charge. This topic normally launches us into a tried and tested double act. She: ‘Have you paid the conjecture charge?’ Me: ‘Why, did I articulate a hypothesis?’ She: blank look of incomprehension. Me: hysterical laughter and an orgy of self-congratulation for my brilliant bon mot. She: withdrawal of conjugal rights.

It hurts our partners; it can often ruin relationships: so why are we still unfaithful?
Like most men, when it comes to relationships, I’ve done my fair share of wanting to have my cake and eat it. Mercifully, it seems that this pressure has faded as I’ve slipped comfortably into middle age. But, for many, the rigours of monogamy are just too much to bear and outlets for this frustration too easy to find.
