Forever and Always
Once upon a time,
I became yours
and you became mine.
And we’ll stay together
through both the tears
and the laughter.
Because that’s what they call
happily ever after.

Overheard: Even married couples need to go on dates.
“Aravis also had many quarrels (and, I’m afraid, even fights) with Cor, but they always made it up again: so that years later, when they were grown up, they were so used to quarrelling and making it up again that they got married so as to go on doing it more conveniently.” -C.

Wodehouse (Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881 - 1955)): “The Adventures of Sally” (1920), chapter 10

While on a car trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. The woman left her glasses on the table, but didn’t miss them until they were back on the highway. By then, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around. The man fussed and complained all the way back to the restaurant. When they finally arrived, as the woman got out of the car to retrieve her glasses, the old man said, “While you’re in there, you may as well get my hat, too.”

You must put something in before you can take anything out. There is no love in marriage. Love is in people. And people put love in marriage. There is no romance in marriage. You have to infuse it into your marriage. A couple must learn the art and form the habit of giving, loving, serving, praising, keeping the box full. If you take out more than you put in, the box will be empty.” -Author Unknown
