So.... how do you tell someone to only get married for the third time?

On Sunday when poor dad went to find the meat to cook for Sunday lunch he couldn't find anything and when he asked, was told 'I didn't bother to get anything because you wanted me to hurry up.

Re: What would you say to a young you
Someone said they would offer the advice, not to get married.I think that is unfair advice, just because you can't find happiness in a marriage, doesn't mean your children can't.
I would not give the advice, that people should get married either, but only say it is the best thing I ever done, and the next best thing was having children.
After a marriage of nearly 54 years, we are as happy and loving together, as we were when we were teenagers.
My advice to people would be, let your children find their own way in life, answer all their questions honestly, and support them in everything they do.

Re: What would you say to a young you
The reason I would like to meet younger self is that I have learned the answers, I thought but I have still a long way to go before I would be able to get it right.Have you ever heard the saying 'He/She is wise they've been here before? Maybe if you do get the chance to try out a second time you might be wiser even as a youngster
