    Lovely Love plus Friday Frivolity

    Published: Feb 11, 2016 · Modified: Feb 11, 2016 by Audrey · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Since everyone is celebrating the love of my life's birthday this weekend, the Friday Frivolity crew is dedicating our posts to "LOVE"...

    Wait, you mean all of the hearts and flowers and pink and red everywhere are NOT for my husband's birthday? Hmmph! to hear him tell it from the second that first Valentine's Day item goes up in the store it is all to celebrate him.

    He is joking, of course. For the first 10+ years of our relationship I spent "the most romantic day" of the year the same way he had since he was a child: at his parents house with his entire family singing him happy birthday over a chocolate cake his mother made in the shape of a heart. Every... Single... Year...

    For him, it was either grin and bear it or dare offending his mother. Finally, I think one of his older sisters suggested that she might like to go out on a date on Valentine's Day and then we were finally able to do what he always wanted to do: nothing.

    The anecdote may explain my choices below. Full of love with a little bit of humor too. Which is actually our secret to 28 years together and counting.

     

    Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

    Now I finally understand the theory of relativity. Maybe I should go back and try Physics again. Or maybe not.

    An archeologist is the best husband any woman can have; the older she gets, the more interested he is in her.

    She has a good point. Maybe that's what Miss Marple was holding out for, a nice archaeologist to appreciate her.

    Men are from Earth. Women are from Earth. Deal with it.

    Not laugh out loud like some of Carlin's musings, but you have to admit he has a point. It's hard to find common ground when you think you are both from completely different worlds.

    [Tweet "Men are from Earth. Women are from Earth. Deal with it. George Carlin #relationships"]

    Why does a woman work ten years to change a man, then complain he's not the man she married?

    Why do we do this to ourselves, ladies?! Love each other for who you are, faults and all.

    Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.

    Great advice from one of my favorite authors. The marriage vows say for better or worse for a reason.

    All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.

    I define "now and then" as everyday, don't you? (If you are curious that's a delicious Gluten Free Quinoa Chocolate Cake in the background) .

      Tooooo funny about your husband's birthday... and I love the quotes you picked!! I think the Agatha Christie one is my favorite, just because I am kind of obsessed with her... ;P

        Isn't the Christie one great. I thought is was a bit odd coming from her, so I had to include it.
