  • My fiancĂ©e and I go through premarital counseling all the time. We call it, 'Scream At The No-Good Baby That Ruined Our Lives.'

  • What are the counselors gonna say? 'Don't throw the best years of your life away on some broad that's bangin' your brother while you're busting your hump all day at Carpetland'? 'Cause that's what they should say.

  • Everything I needed to know about marriage I learned from the Georgia Satellites.

  • I think premarital counseling is crucial. We had ours at Macy's, and without it we never would have picked out the Lenox Old English pattern china.

  • If I had only gotten the proper pre-burger counseling last Tuesday, maybe I wouldn't have put on all that extra mayo.
