Whether you are tossing around the old manure or just flinging the bull... in a good marriage... something is bound to grow. Of course that can be a good or a bad thing.
"It's a woman's business to get married as soon as possible, and a man's to keep unmarried as long as he can."�George Bernard Shaw
What is marriage or in this case what is the agronomy of a good marriage that continues to grow. Just like a well placed or designed garden, you need a good catalyst or fertilizer properly administered to get those blooming good results.
The showpiece of a well groomed paradise doesn't take a lot, but the fact is that you do need something to make certain things happen. In a marriage it's no different for making the relationship thrive and grow to it's full potential. After all, our end result is to bear much fruit... the good stuff that keeps on producing year after year. Much like our 30 plus years thus far.
Now, as far as the cow-chip throwing part goes, it's like any good thing you do in the world of gardening... you gotta get down and into the heart of the matter with getting your hands into it.
Whoa there big fella you say. Are you saying get your hands into cow-chips? What's going on here? How does this apply to what a marriage is?
Don't let me lose you here.
Tossing or throwing cow-chips was a fun thing to do as kid in a part of the country that boasted a lot of dairies and dairy cows.
No, I was not raised on a farm and there is certainly nothing wrong with being a farmer and raising and milking dairy cows or any other cow that produces a nice flat chip for throwing. It's precisely thinking like that that can cause problems in a marriage... but I digress.
Whether making mud pies after a spring rain or having crawdad (crayfish) races or tossing cow-chips... as a young inventor of playtime fun left to his own devices...let's just say you find things to do to occupy your time and talents. And cow-chip throwing was just one of those things.
Ha!... now it's a "sport" at county fairs and such and right up there with spittin' watermelon seeds!
As they say... if you haven't tried it... don't knock it. The same with a good marriage.
Whether you're slinging the bull and doing all the bad stuff that gets you into total conflict all the time with your spouse or just having fun and playfully tossing cow-chips, it does take a special art or talent to handle the manure that comes into the marriage picture.
You take that same manure and spread it around your garden paradise and carefully plant what you want to grow, you will be very pleasantly surprised at the things that comprise you marital estate.
When you or anyone else looks upon your garden of a marriage and all the nurturing that you've put into it, you and they will see and understand the things that it took to grow it the way it was intended.
Now. About cow-chip tea. Don't even get me started!
