Reason I will get married

Last week when having one of those "zen" conversations after a couple of bottles of wine at this delightful roof top garden. The question came to owning houses in Jersey City. Due to my aversion to suburbia and that I do not make $$$$ per year, the only houses I can afford are 1 bedroom of 800 sq.feet. Since I am pack rat that hardly suffices. So I proclaimed I would marry to be able to afford a bigger place.


That conversation soon morphed into why I would marry...

#1. I can now afford to buy 2/3 bedroom condo in Jersey City and not have to torment myself to a life in suburbs with the the manicured lawns, tree lined avenues, women with wicker baskets etc.

#2. This is important. I can get to buy a nice sports convertible. I will let my wife buy a regular sedan. That way we have both. One for fun and the other for lugging around groceries and people. (I am Indian and having a Japanese owned sedan is a right of passage for us)

#3. I feels girls are more fetish about cleaning than guys. So me being a pig will be negated by her. Plus cleaning may actually be fun with her around.

#4. All bills will be split in too...and I will save on taxes.

#5. And yes I get the extra benefits too...like someone to talk too, argue with, fight with, more stories for the blog and yes sex too. There I said it.

And some of you might ask, is this a reason to get married? That is so materialistic. My answer to all of you naysayers, I found my reason to get married. I cannot help it if insurance, banks, realtor's, IRS give more breaks to married people than single people. I do not make the rules of the game. I just play the game. There are sacrifices needed to win the game and I am willing to make them.

Now time to and surf match.com....
