SUSTAIN YOURSELF

Look, I'm really sad about the Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber break-up.  They never married (and I'm a sucker for marriage).  Still it was 11 years and 2 kiddos.  "It is with great love, respect, and friendship in our hearts that we look forward to raising our children together and exploring this new phase of our relationship."    news

Principle in the type:  "The real essence of happiness in marriage lies not so much in romance as in an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one's companion.  Thinking of self alone and of the gratification of personal desires will build neither trust, love, nor happiness.  Only when there is unselfishness will love, with its concomitant qualities, flourish and blossom."       Gordon B. Hinckley

While I didn't see anything Adam and Eve related in the paper this week, I have nonetheless been directed to write a post on Adam and Eve.   What, you think I know everything about everything??   Well, I don't!   Surprise.    Sooo I will simply leave you with a cool quote (as usual) for you to chew on.   And an even cooler song.   Each AdamAndEve'ish.   The original everything team. 



                                         

Principle in the type:  "Woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved."           Matthew Henry

Love story to the umpth degree.  Storybook.      Nancy Reagan:  " 'I've had quite a life, when you stop and think about it," she once told a Vanity Fair reporter. "I'm very lucky. Especially with Ronnie -- I was the happiest girl in the world when I became we." '  link          Ronald Reagan to Nancy:  " 'I more than love you, I'm not whole without you. You are life itself to me. When you are gone, I'm waiting for you to return so I can start living again.' "   link

THE FAM-BAM, DRINKS, AND PRAYERS

What a game!  Some say it was the Denver Bronco's defense that dictated who'd snare the victory in Superbowl 50.  Still you gotta give it to 39-year-old quarterback Peyton Manning.  Now, will he continue on?  Will he retire?   Peyton would have a few beers, and say his thank-you prayers, but first  " 'I want to kiss my wife and kids. I want to go hug my family,' "  he told journalists when asked seconds after the game what his future plans were.  Sweet, right?!      news                   

Principle in the type:  "So much in life is extraneous, [but] . . . the family is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; the thing to watch over and care for and be loyal to."      Carla Carlisle

PEARLS

Is there better than Pearl Jam's "Better Man"?!  I don't know.  Eddie Vedder killed it on David Letterman this week, as a farewell to Letterman.  news link   

"Better Man" lyrics are poetic, meaningful, a sad love story.   Waiting, watching the clock . . . it's got to stop . . . can't find a better man . . . memories back when she was bold and strong . . . she lies . . . she dreams . . . . she tells herself . . . can't find a better man.  lyrics





                                  

Principle in the type:  "I have observed that in the happiest marriages both the husband and wife consider their relationship to be a pearl beyond price, a treasure of infinite worth."     L. Whitney Clayton

Out of Grey's Anatomy, and his marriage.  The surprise twist of Patrick Dempsey's character dying in the hit television series, follows the far sadder story of the end of his 15 year marriage with Jillian Fink.  In a press statement they relayed, "It is with careful consideration and mutual respect that we have decided to end our marriage . . . Our primary concern remains the well being of our children . . . "   news link

Principle in the type:  "May every spouse, every child, and every parent be blessed to communicated and receive love . . . and to become more consistent in the seemingly small things that matter so much.    David A. Bednar

BIG DRESSES, MEN, AND WOMEN

photo by Kwp Kommunikacio

One time in the 80's Grace Jones wore a really big dress (which leads me to TLC's "My Big Gypsy Wedding" (see picture above) which leads me off topic), which leads me back to Grace's dress which was like 2-stories high (she must have been standing on a ladder inside it!) and black and white, which leads me to Katy Perry's Prismatic Tour Wujek-Marco dress (pic), which some are saying looks like Grace's and which they call the yin and the yang dress (watch it spin here), which yin and yang stuff leads me to men and women, which leads me to the marriage relationship.

 Principle in the type:  "Husbands and wives in great marriages make decisions unanimously, with each of them acting as a full participant and entitled to an equal voice and vote.  They focus first on the home and on helping each other with their shared responsibilities.  Their marriages are based on cooperation, not negotiation."   L. Whitney Clayton
