What makes a happy marriage?
Filed Under (Misc) by Misty Mom on 16-02-2008
Marriage is made up of many things in my opinion and love is just one of it. Was going through some bloggers who commented in my Show & Tell post, and one of them had this ‘recipe’ to share. So thanks to Barbara H., I can share it with you. ;)
Recipe for a happy marriage
1 cup of consideration
2 cupfuls praise
1 reasonable budget
2 cupfuls of flattery carefully concealed
2 cupfuls milk of human kindness
1 gallon faith in God and each other
A generous dash of cooperation
3 teaspoons of pure extract of “I am sorry”
Children (more or less, to taste)
1 cup of confidence and encouragement
1 large or several small hobbies
1 cup of blindness to each others faults
1 cup of courtesy
1 small pinch of in-laws
1 cup of contentmentFlavor with frequent portions of recreation and a dash of happy memories. Stir well and remove any specks of jealousy, temper, or criticism. Sweeten well with generous portions of love and keep warm with a steady flame of devotion. Never serve with a cold shoulder or a hot tongue.
