Scenes From a Marriage: Kick Ass Love Songs to Forever Lovingly Heal Your Flamebroiled Heart By While Remembering Fondly the Love of Love's Memory

Henri: Just put the flamethrower down, you could burn the whole damn house up.
Cindy: You started this I'm gonna finish it.

Ok so sometimes marriages hit a bump in the road. And before kids I would have said I double dog dare you to pull the trigger on that flamethrower. But now with the kid it's different. Marriage is a serious thing, there's just no going back once kids are involved. And that's really scary. There is no out. Flamethrower shmamethrower just because you have an incendiary device pointed towards your head you can't just give up on the whole thing. Even when someone breaks rule number 7 of marriage, you have to keep a calm head and work through things. In case you forgot here are the seven rules to marriage:

1) No fishhooking
2) No chickens on the side
3) Clean belly buttons
4) "I wish I never..." Never finish that damn sentence.
5) Toilet seat down.
6) "You can never ever ever ask me to stop drinking."
7) No F-ing Flamethrowers!!!

oh and unwritten rule #8: Karate is for self-defense only.

So for the sake of children everywhere across the world I have created the following instrument capable of saving any marriage. You need to bookmark the permalink for this post because it will absolutely save your marriage one day. Click the little e-mail icon at the end to send to your friends in need. Help us heal the world.

Instructions:

1) Put down all weapons in the "Safe Weapon Zone"
2) Make sure the kids are asleep.
3) Sit next to each other.
4) Hold Hands.
5) Say you're sorry even if you just had a flamethrower held to your head (you must have deserved it somehow, anyway marriage isn't about who is right or wrong your both wrong just one of you hasn't accepted it yet....so let's just focus on the longterm here and that means ceasefire)

8) Thank me by naming your next child Henri or Henrietta (pronounced awn-ri-et-ta).


Ok that was just the Amuse Bouche. You cannot just jump from Flamethrower-pointing directly into the healing elixer of 80's love. You need a palate cleanser first.
