A marriage is:
Holding hands and flirting on Friday night dates.
Getting hit with an elbow at 3 am.
Texts with "I love you"s and, "Can you pick up eggs?"
Arguing over what movie to watch.
Playing Rock. Paper. Scissors. to decide who cleans up after dinner.
Saying cheesy things like, "I struck the lottery, the day I married you"
And buying roses for your wife, after an argument.
The roses were sweet. They brought a smile to my face, as I thought to myself, "How could I ever stay mad at this guy?" But then he pulled out the box of chocolates. One half of my brain screamed, "YAY! Chocolate!" and the other half screamed, "NOOO!"
So, I made a compromise. I didn't want to hurt my husband's feelings, after all ;) I took only one bite, out of all my favorite chocolates (which were all minus 3;). One bite of each is all you really need anyway.
I figure I cut the calories in half.
Then I told my husband thank you, and to hide the rest.
What do you do when you receive a high calorie gift?
What's your favorite chocolate truffle?
Mine is chocolate buttercream. Mmm :)
I'd love to hear your, "A marriage is" quote!

I think that's an excellent choice. It's not the few "bites" that cause us to gain weight....it's eating the box in one or two sittings.
Honey I don't want to give you my jaded version of marriage, but it makes me happy to read about couples that are together and trying to make things work. I am a Russell Stover carmel nut! Mmmm...better not think about candy. Enjoy your beautiful roses.
I like the Bordeaux chocolates from See's Candy.
Since I've never been married, I don't have anything for you on that one. I'm glad you guys love each other so much and have such a healthy relationship that you are able to quickly work out issues that come up.
I think you have more self control than I do. I like that you could handle just a bite from each one and spared his feelings. :)
I will have to work on my marriage is quote. I just have way too many nice things to say about my hubby ;)
Those flowers are beautiful. I hate when the boy brings me candy or ice cream. However it is so sweet.
xo
I wonder if Joe hid the chocolates or ate what you'd left? How did you stop at just one bite!? You have amazing self control!!!
I miss you...we should get together again soon! :0)
awwww that's so sweet! Beautiful post. :) You summed up marriage perfectly.
When hubby gives me chocolate, I figure out the points and eat them in moderation. They last a long time!
My husband said this a week or so ago & i wrote it down. My favorite quote ever. :)
"If i had to sum up our marriage in one word? FUN." :)
I love what you wrote about marriage! And i love that you only ate a bite of each except your least faves! Great idea! :)
