Two people are seated side by side in the park. The cool afternoon breeze is making him feel like he has goosebumps all over.

He considers what he's about to do and thinks, "Time to go for it." Gets off the bench and bends down on one knee. Tries to pull the ring out of his pocket. Bungles it due to the sauerkraut on his fingers.

The ring rolls to the ground like a dime…

He is ashamed to look at her, not having visualized in his mind the unanticipated gawky turn of events. He's stunned to see her tears. She hugs him hard and whispers, "Yes, I will marry you, sauerkraut and all!"

You could say they lived happily ever after. But marriage is a long-term mission. We all have to keep the fires burning. Many people just get careless after several years of marriage. Unaware that our partners want unstructured romance. Even if they don't verbalize it.

A little thrill from time to time goes a long way. Ultimate devotion is what marriage is made of. Taking that into consideration, let us work diligently in the cause of creating joy. Barring an entrance into stand up comedy, we must do everything in our power to guarantee that they laugh (or smile at any rate) day by day.

Okay, so you're admittedly the most unexciting person you know. What you lack in wit, you can atone for by being attentive. Being attentive to them and yourself.

Yes, I mean that. Take pride in your appearance. Just because you spend time with your grandchildren doesn't mean you get to let yourself go. Visit the beauty parlor. Keep your hair tidy. Go to clothing stores. Only buy clothes that provide that trendy yet classy look. Get a makeover.

Stop by my Richmond office and I will give you a mouth makeover that will have your partner quaking with anticipation. When we have the Richmond porcelain veneers placed, you'll look as young as you were the day you got married. Let me handle the teeth. You can sort out the rest.
