A Happy Marriage

1 cup consideration

1 cup courtesy

1 cup flattery, carefully concealed

1 gallon faith in God and each other

2 cups milk of human kindness

2 cups praise

1 small pinch of in-laws

1 reasonable budget

A generous dash of cooperation

3 tsp. pure extract of "I'm sorry"

1 cup confidence

1 cup encouragement

1 large or several small hobbies

1 cup blindness to each other's faults

Flavor with frequent portions of recreation and a dash of happy memories.  Stir well and remove any specks of jealousy, temper or criticism.  Sweeten well with generous portions of love and keep warm with a steady flame of devotion.  Never serve with cold shoulder or hot tongue.

A few years ago my sister gave me a cookbook that was put together by her sister in-law, who used to be in our ward back when we were teenagers.  It's been a fun cookbook to flip through & I found this recipe that was submitted by our former neighbor, Jill Slack.  I thought it was super cute & I love the sayings in it.  :)
