A young husband to his bride said you know now that we're married I need to tell you that I noticed you have a few faults and I'd like to point them out to you.

So he had to take the next exit and he pulled off this exit and it was a rundown little station. And one attendant.

And then when he came back to the car and got in the attendant waved at his wife and the wife said it was great talking to you. And so he said did you know that guy? She said, yes I did. In high school I dated him for a year. He said that's funny you just better be glad I came along or you would be married to that attendant not to a CEO.

But for some reason their marriage had begun to deteriorate and they hadn't worked on it and ...
