Shopping Basket: 0 itemswhat does it take to get to 50 years? love this reading “The Art of a Good Marriage”
Just a quick hello…can’t chat long, swamped with holiday orders I must get out…so I will be quoting a little today from Peterson …whose words a couple just used on a canvas..and I thought they were worth sharing.
The Art of a Good Marriage”,
by Wilferd Arlan Peterson
“A good marriage must be created.
In marriage the “little” things are the big things.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say, ”I love you” at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is having a mutual sense of values, and common objectives.
It is standing together and facing the world.
It is forming a circle that gathers in the whole family.
It is speaking words of appreciation, and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is not only marrying the right person — it is being the right partner.”

What a lovely post and so relevant for me today as my husband and I are celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary today.
Hope life isn't too stressful for you at the moment!
Best wishes, Natasha.
Beautiful! Thoughts and pictures.
I agree, this is sooo super cute!
HEY! I must have missed your email, sorry about that! It is hard to choose! I think I'll go with Serendipity in brown.
Thanks so much!

Oh I love this…such true words!
Wow. Your work is gorgeous.
What a great reminder to help us check ourselves. Beautiful artwork!
I was just thinking a canvas would be an awesome gift for my husband on our 10th wedding anniversary. It's cool to see what other people have done. Because I'm not sure what I'd want printed on it. I'm thinking maybe the lyrics of our wedding song, the sentiment behind I still love.
Amazing work – well done!!!!
