My marriage has survived . . .

The purchase of curtains!

I have heard that many marriages break down over the purchase of curtains--the choice of colors, the sizes, the styles all seem to put undue stress on marriage. It seems couples will sometimes even come to blows over these issues.

I am glad to report that after diligently watching QE, Ms. CaDan and I were able to successfully purchase some lovely green curtains at Ikea and install them.

They look great!

My daughter-in-law laments the absence of Ikea here and regularly flies to New York to shop at Ikea, relieve stress, and rouse her marriage.

Congratulations to you both on a successful Ikea marriage encounter.

My wife and I have this agreement. She takes care of all the decorating, sliverware, china, etc. etc. I am only allowed to add positive comments to her activity. She enjoys re-arranging the house on a regular basis. We also have the appropriate Holiday season decorated earliest and taken down as late as possible.

Very satisfying arrangement.

You should have seen the look on her face when once I offered an opinion...LOL

I wonder whether God blesses couples with disagreements of taste in home furnishings to help us to tolerate the old, ugly stuff a lot longer and not overspend!

"qe"?

"qe"?

More amplified, QE4TSG, I presume. The first word is a synonymous pejorative for one of the major hot-button issues around here.

SWOOSH (sound of stuff flying over McCravey's head)

Yup.

I got some lovely orange curtains for my windows.

Well not so lovely, but they were free.

That show always has me in tears at the end.

Except for the ones where the guy has a really horrible girlfriend or wife. Then you just want to scream at the guy--"Get out while you still can!"

Hehehehe..I was doing just that while watching 'Trading Spouses' the other night.
