Recipe For Marriage

A cup of attraction
Eye to eye distraction 
A1/2- cup forgiveness 
A tablespoon of blissfulness 
A great heap of tolerance 
A dash of a romantic dance 
A 1 cup of compromise
A cup of respect 
A bowl for the loving affect 
2 cups of family holidays 
A week to recover from the haze 
A ¼ cup of dinner and a movie 
A new box spring and mattress 
How groovy
Mix it all together with a splash of tears 
And your marriage will be 
Happy for years!
