A Recipe for Marriage

A pinch of understanding
A tablespoon of trust
A drop of fun and flattery
And a smattering of lust

A teaspoon of adventure
A heap of hopes and wishes
An ounce or two of thoughtfulness
And a scoop of hugs and kisses

A grain or two of constancy
A dash of admiration
A slice of friends and family
And a dip of conversation

A dollop of devotion
A soupcon of surprise
A bunch of boring household chores
And a spot of compromise

A drizzling of honesty
A sprinkling of laughter
A splash of patience and support
Makes... A Happily Ever After
