Tim Hawkins mentioned how marriage is very similar to the stock market. The popular funnyman shared his hilarious yet insightful perspective on how marriage works. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear Tim compare a marriage to the stock market.

As anyone who is or has ever been married will say, a marriage is not always easy or something to be entered into lightly. A marriage is a relationship between flawed people with different thoughts and opinions on various topics. This will lead to friction and even heated disagreements and arguments.

It's for that reason that hard work, persistence and perseverance must be present from both individuals. If any of those are lacking from either party, that marriage is likely doomed to fail. A marriage also requires constant attention and care. It’s not something that gets a little bit of love and care this week, none the next week, and some the week after. That’s a recipe for disaster.

In a clip posted on social media, Tim, in a hilarious bit about marriage, notes that there are noticeable similarities between marriage and the stock market in New York City. While this at first might sound odd, he explains what he means in such an intelligent and funny way that you’ll find yourself nodding along as you're also laughing deliriously.

“See, marriage is not like, you know, you can give your wife flowers, and she’s good for three months,” Tim said. “It doesn’t work that way. Marriage is like the stock market, man. You’re checking it every day. ‘Oh, that dipped. What happened there? Must have been when I left the sock in the fridge. That’s probably what happened there. That’s probably the reason that happened.’

Later in the clip, Tim recalls taking his wife out to dinner one evening. Instead of a fun time spent reconnecting, there was obvious tension in the air, which Tim admits was his fault. He caused it, saying that he must do better next time. It began, he says on their way to dinner, with him asking his wife what she wanted to eat.

As any married person will tell you, this is a conversation that will always end in an argument. She will say she doesn’t care and wants him to decide. He does, as she commanded, and she will then shoot every one of his suggestions down.

Genesis 2:24 “For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.”
