A poem for this snowy day from Shel Silverstein in "Where The Sidewalk Ends"
"My Rules"
If you want to marry me, here's what you'll have to do:
You must learn how to make a perfect chicken-dumpling stew,
And you must sew my holey socks,
And soothe my troubled mind,
And develop the knack for scratching my back,
And keep my shoes spotlessly shined.
And while I rest you must rake up the leaves,
And when it is hailing and snowing
You must shovel the walk... and be still when I talk,
And -- hey -- where are you going?

LOL! Reads more like a formula for a marriage that definitely won’t work... we're glad the listener left quickly!

Why I Donated My Wedding Dress

What a story!!
“The St. Anthony's Bridal volunteer hands me a form to complete while admiring the dress I said good-bye to. She takes it out of the bag and immediately hands it to a bride-to-be who is trying on dresses for her upcoming May wedding. ‘You should stay and see her try it on,’ she says to us. I'm a little hesitant to see her in ‘my’ dress- how will I feel?”...

It only took two years, but I recently donated my wedding dress. It was slightly emotional but in the best way. I bought my dress wit...

Every Successful Relationship Is Successful for the Same Exact Reasons - Mark Manson - Pocket

WOW! What an article! Read this with care... relationships meant for the long-haul require serious work, and this article really goes into the details. (Warning: some language, and 11 is not G-rated.)

Hey, guess what? I got married two weeks ago. And like most people, I asked some of the older and wiser folks around me for a couple quick words of relationship advice from their own marriages to make sure my wife and I didn’t sh*t the (same) bed.

U.S. Divorce Rate: Millennials Are Causing the U.S. Divorce Rate to Plummet

Yes! Be picky! Make it last!!!

Americans under the age of 45 have found a novel way to rebel against their elders: They’re staying married. New data show younger couples are approaching relationships very differently from baby boomers, who married young, divorced, remarried and so on.
