I happened to thumb through my grandfathers recipe book a while ago, and I found an exerpt in there that speaks the truth so fine, that one could not take better advice as far as being happy in marriage.
I copied what was written, and have brought it here to share with you and your loved ones. Please take the time to read this, and do share it with your parents. They may find it a joy to read. I had to omit a few religious references so abide to the rules of BZPower, but ya get the jist.
Old Wisdom for all to share.
