The Happy Marriage Recipe By Caren

I am proud to say that as a natural, untamed, messy-haired wild woman, my husband can be quickly and rapidly completely, absolutely afraid, to the brink of terror of me. I used to weigh 119 pounds, and he much more, and yet, when we first got married I showed him my barr-my-teeth side, so there would be no misunderstanding. This is my recipe for a happy marriage.

So, you've published the recipe for a 'happy marriage.' Wunderbar! I'm a-wonderin' here: How is a 'happy marriage' best defined? Is it a happy one if both partners are happy---or does the happiness exist outside of and/or above and beyond that of the partners? I.e., is the whole greater than the sum of its two parts?! Just a-wonderin' away here in frozen Chicago...Blessings, Gershon

Yup. That's right. And it's Mr. Bear's job to make sure that she is. (We get it, again).

"When you say I love you, I say 'You better!'" I think that's a line from a song, my hubby and I say it to each other all the time - have a good day, Caren-

Although I haven't used it, I have a nice sharp tooth in front too, Line. a Meat-eating tooth.

Thank you, Demetrios. I am delighted by your words. You have made my dismal Tuesday more than tolerable now.

Thank you, Leanne. My next Wild Woman Campfire will be this summer, in Kansas City. You and Andrea and Jan and Line are invited. We will dance nude around the campfire, making loud smacking shouting sounds, and the men will cower in a corner under a pile of safety.
