Let's start with a recipe for a happy marriage. There is probably no "true" recipe for a happy marriage, but I find that this one gets really close. You see even though I am married to the "Love of My Life", he was not my first husband. In fact, we both have been married before. We both come from previous relationships where there was no mutual communication. This does not a happy home make. Thus, we promised each other that we would make our marriage one built on open communication. We talk about everything: our children, our home, our jobs, our finances, our religion, our friends and family, our relationship, our future plans, .....You get the picture. Everything.
Because of this, He is truely my Best Friend in the world. I go to him with everthing and he listens with intense compassion and genuine concern. Thus, if I had to have only one ingredient for this recipe for a happy marriage it would be: commuication. But, if one truely wants a unbelievably great marriage that can be savoured throughly, then the recipe below will come pretty close. Here's to wishing you a wonderfully delicious Happy Marriage!
