Live and Learn

Let's face it. Marriage isn't easy. You win some battles, and you lose some, but ultimately, you must surrender to the ones you can live without winning and stand strong on the ones you cannot. From crazed money spenders to groggy insomniacs to premenstrual monsters to past drudger-uppers (hee, hee), we all have our moments - our insecurities, our skeletons. During marriage, your ugliest (and prettiest) side is exposed (for some, more often than others). If you can still look each other in the eye after an "ugly" moment and say you love each another, well... congratulations. You might actually make it work after all.

Just remember the recipe:
1 heaping tbsp. of love
a pinch of forgiveness & understanding
2 c. wine (white or red)

Bring to a boil. Usually done boiling after a phone call to your sister or mom. Then simmer on low. Add another cup of wine, if necessary. Top with patience & humility. Serves 2.
