We had a wedding card given to us with a 'recipe for a happy marriage' on it. Its a bit cheesy but made us smile
1 cup consideration 1 cup courtesy 2 cupfuls flattery carefully concealed 1 gallon faith and trust in each other 2 cupfuls praise 1 small pinch of in-laws 1 reasonable budget, a generous dash of cooperation 3 teaspoon pure extract of "I'm sorry" 1 cup contentment 1 cup each confidence and encouragement 1 large or several small hobbies 1 cup blindness to the other's faults
Flavour 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 cold shoulder.
