As a married man, you know, I look at the modern dating scene, like someone who ran out

of a burning building seconds before it collapsed.

Somebody on Twitter recently said that married people these days must feel like they caught

the last chopper out of nom.

And perhaps that's the better analogy, whichever image you prefer.

The point is that I wake up every day grateful to be married, mostly because, you know,

I love my wife and my family, but also because I simply could not be a single man in this

environment.

I would have already become a monk or a hermit in the woods by now.

I don't say this to rub it in the faces of people in the audience who are single.

I say it more as encouragement, really, for any who are married, because even if you're

struggling in your marriage, even if you and your spouse have hit hard times, consider

that the alternative is to wander alone in this barren wasteland.

Realize that all you have is each other.

Out there, it's dark and cold and you'll likely die shivering in a loan.

So your marriage is your shelter.

Be grateful for it.

Stop screwing it up.

Do you really want to start over again in this environment?

Would you really prefer to be out there dating during the zombie apocalypse?

Again, I'm not trying to make single people feel bad.

It's more that I'm commiserating with you.
