mickeyava.jpgMen in Christian culture like to say they have “married up” or “married out of their league.” They make a point to speak of their wife in glowing terms as often as possible.

charlesdi.jpgPhrases often heard from the husband include:
<br

             “What did she ever seen in me?”
             “How did I get so blessed?”
             “Yes, I married up!”
             “My wife is way better looking and smarter than me.”
             “I married way out of my league!”
