Me: “We’ve been in a relationship for seventeen years, and you still …” (doesn’t matter what. If you’ve been, or are in, a long-term relationship, you know what I mean)

Married: having a ball and chain shackled to not only your ankle but your mind and soul.
Ha. Just kidding. I’ve been married for 30 years, and it’s been much more like restraint by bungee cords. There’s some hampering…but there’s also some flexibility, lol 🙂

Bungee cord – love it! 😀 … the big thing I reckon, to making it work, is not expecting pears from a elm tree. 🙂
