Recipe For a Happy Marriage

I received a framed plaque containing a beautiful poem as a wedding gift some years ago, and it has been hanging up in my kitchen ever since. I walk by it so many times each day, and know it’s there, but it’s nice to stop and read it every now and then. It’s fun, but contains some gems of wisdom, so I thought I would share it. Enjoy!
