The pros and cons of marrying an Irishman

Very, very funny. Really enjoyed reading!!! And yes Mary i totally agree with you: Gwen1980 do you know what the word "CRAIC" means? Well this is what the article was geared towards

BECCA30. You don't say which list you want him from! One tip: after marriage, always think of yourself as 'Jocasta' and you won't go far wrong! Good Luck!

I think you just decribed my husband to a T. All the good and the bad, but I love him and wouldn't trade him.

Rosebeautiful..You're not wrong..I was wondering the say thing. You could apply most of this to any man.

My daughter is married to a Tipp boy who has everyone of the 6 reasons to marry an Irishman! She hit the jackpot with him...so what if he adores his Mam? If you want to know how you'll be treated as a wife, look how he treats his mother. Oh, and Gwen 1980, lighten up, girl! This is all in fun...take it in the spirit in which it was written:)

AARGH!

I need a Irish man

This was a fun article to read. I really love the Irish sense of humor, anyway. Thanks, Ms. Kelly! :)

My wife swears she could've written this. You were spot on.

I thought this is good information it reminds me a lot of my husband and he's not irish.

The Irish man of yesteryear ....describing my father ...he was born in 1922. I believe we've changed ....just a tad ;)

All men hate shopping including myself

It surprises me that in 2011 people are allowed to write and publish something so sexist and generalist - this article gushes ignorance and is plainly inappropriate. I would understand this if it were in "tongue and cheek" but it is not at all humorous either. If you asked the average 25 year old Irishman if he appreciated being told that he was an ignorant idiot who cannot dance, dress or act with any decorum he would be horrified. Antoinette - I can't even imagine what you were thinking (if at all) when you wrote this. If you married someone who displays these personality traits, I pity you, but please don't subject the rest of the world to you idiocy.

Antoinette..The character trait's of your husband is none of our business.

Provided the bride can display the same diligence that the mother put into making sure her boy had clean underpants,then all their up's and downs in life should be mostly between the sheets.
