Jerry Seinfeld: Why most comedians’ marriages fail
Ойын-сауық
Actor and comedian Jerry Seinfeld shares his thoughts on marriage, explaining why comedians are not meant for marriage but why he insisted on giving it a go. He recalls his first date with his wife Jessica Seinfeld when she attended the filming of his HBO special, and explains the relationship between them works because of their mutual crankiness.

Marriage is a sacred union between two individuals, a promise of love, support, and partnership for life. A wedding is a celebration of this commitment, a joyous occasion where families and friends come together to witness and celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in the couple's lives.

It will be 39 years for me and my beloved this month. Opposite of Jerry I believe sometimes you just got to button the lip instead of critiques, and if you must critique, do it in a teasing manner. Your spouse is your best friend, or should be, and friends should be kind to one another. But then again, we treasure a peaceful existence.😊

Jerry sounds very similar to my ex boyfriend whom I loved very much. He was a New Yorker, Irish, cranky, well educated and didn’t feel like he needed anyone and marriage wasn’t his thing. I’m cranky but I don’t really like to show it because I empathize with other people. The way I show that I’m not in the mood is to stop talking and just do my thing. If you insist on being in my face then there’s going to be a problem.
