Recipe for a Happy Marriage

I saw this in the book "Mrs. Dunwoody's Excellent Instructions for Homekeeping" by Miriam Lukken. I thought it worth remembering.

Recipe for a Happy Marriage
A portion of understanding,
with faith and trust well stirred....
A strength of mind diluted
with meekness is preferred.
Now add a bit of patience,
and a cup of love sincere....
to be garnished with good humor,
and served throughout the year.
