We celebrated my wife's birthday today with a sumptuous dinner which she herself painstakingly prepared for the whole family. I had wanted to treat them out instead but she prevailed in the end. Compromise: that's lesson no.1 to a long and happy marriage, LOL. Why don't we explore today the many faces of LOVE and MARRIAGE while I'm at it:
Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle. -Amy Bloom

LOVE, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder... It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient. -Ambrose Bierce

MARRIAGE, n. The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two. -Ambrose Bierce
* * *
In matrimony, to hesitate is sometimes to be saved. -Samuel Butler

Ah Mozart! He was happily married - but his wife wasn't. -Victor Borge
* * *
One survey found that ten percent of Americans thought Joan of Arc was Noah's wife.... -Robert Boynton

Husbands are awkward things to deal with; even keeping them in hot water will not make them tender. -Mary Buckley
* * *
Laugh and the world laughs with you. Snore and you sleep alone. -Anthony Burgess
* * *
The majority of husbands remind me of an orangutan trying to play the violin. -Honore de Balzac

All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest--never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership. -Ann Landers
