That SNL skit had us laughing pretty hard! I would also like to posit that Twizzlers are not licorice (but they are gross). I’m one of those weirdos who really enjoys the real deal black licorice, but somehow I don’t think anyone is handing that out as Halloween candy 😉 And happy anniversary! A hearty yes to the 100/100 approach.
Congratulations on your anniversary! Keeping that commitment to your vows to God is hard, beautiful work. We celebrated fifty years in June. So rewarding.
To piggyback off the candy theme, sometimes marriage can be like an expired bag of Twizzlers or hard Tootsie Rolls. And then you hit a season when it’s a beautiful box of imported fine chocolates, so rich and delightful.
"Marriage isn’t 50/50, it’s 100/100." This is really insightful. Will be pondering this!!

Happy anniversary!
Congrats and happy anniversary! My wife and I celebrated 21 years back in July. I agree with all of your assessments.
Also worth noting: the George Washington's dream SNL skit was the best thing I've seen from SNL in a long time!
Same! Solid writing. Reminds me of the earlier golden years of SNL...

Thanks! And yes, that is quite true; Twizzlers definitely masquerades as real-deal licorice.
Happy Anniversary!
Thanks!

God bless your union.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing, Tsh.
And what wise marriage advice - not just quality, but quantity. Sometimes, especially in tired seasons, just 'being there' means an awful lot.
