Recipe for a Happy Marriage

1 cup of consideration

1 cup of courtesy

2 cupfuls flattery carefully concealed

2 cupfuls milk of human kindness

1 gallon faith in God and each other

2 cupfuls praise

1 small pinch of in-laws

1 reasonable budget

A generous dash of cooperation

3 teaspoons of pure extract of “I am sorry”

1 cup of contentment

1 cup each of confidence and encouragement

2 children at least

1 large or several small hobbies

1 cup of blindness to 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 with generous portions of love and keep warm with a steady flame of devotion. Never serve with a cold shoulder or hot tongue.
