Married people forget what got
them that way.

The shaped up and showed off and
got chosen instead of someone else.

But in time they quit doing and being
as when they first became attractive
to one another.

To be frank, some go to pot physically
and even mentally, taking themselves
and their married condition for granted.

Then, when their partner begins to find
other more attractive they wonder why.

A hart fact of life - even if it does
sound Darwinian - is that winners
must COMPETE.

Never take your situation for granted.

Memory text:

Marriage counselors used to talk to
young couples about a budget.

What we need to tell them is to plan
a business.  Because marriage is a legal
business.  To the state and to the IRS.

A marriage is a partnership that
produces income, owns property, controls
money.  There is a bottom line as in
any business.  Profit or loss.

It's almost impossible to be happy
in a loser business.

So, for more happiness in marriage,
work for a going business.
