Recipe for a Happy Marriage

Exactly 1 year ago, I was looking and sourcing around for a wedding gift for Bro Keith and Joanne. I browsed through the World Wide Web and found this "receipe".
I had in mind to actually print out the words on a parchment and present it to the couple on their wedding day. Unfortunately, it did not happen as I was too lazy to get anything started.

Nonetheless, here's something worth pondering on.

Receipe for a Happy Marriage

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

Flavor 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.
