Sorting through cupboards this evening in preparation for moving to our new house this weekend, I came across a little placard with the following "Recipe for a Happy Marriage."
Take two happy people- one male and one female- and separate them from their parents. Add the following ingredients in generous proportions:
Love
Acceptance
Respect
Communication
Patience
Kindness
Gentleness
Self-Control
Commitment
Faith
Hope
Truth
Mix together, then thoroughly sift in daily life. Strain out jealousy, arrogance, selfishness, provocation and accounting of wrongs. Bake in the trials and tribulations of life for 50 years, then celebrate when golden.
