Marriage is like a garden

In many ways, having a successful marriage is much like having a successful garden.

• It can grow into something beautiful and productive.

• It takes a lot of work.

• There are many weeds to pull.

• You can usually ignore it all week and catch up on Saturday afternoon.

• You need to pile on lots of fresh bullshit.

• You're lucky if you end up with a big cucumber.

• Having a hoe doesn't hurt.

• Sometimes you need the help of several Mexican laborers.
