If one of you works nights and the other works days that helps too.

Nice list… I would have to agree.
However, is Trader Joes wine considered to be good wine? LOL.

True. Very True. But does the asterik next to the wine mean: In case you don’t have wine, use any kind of alcohol to help you cope? LOL

husband doesn’t drink wine. He would say “good cookies”, but I think that’s wrong too…
Sex. It has to be sex. Sex is so much more important in the mechanical workings of a marriage than many believe.
Now, wine can lead to sex. or if you are my husband- cookies…

You don’t specify HOW much wine. Some days we need more than others!

AMEN!!
Although occasionally a good margarita or an ice cold beer will suffice.
And toe curling, tongue wagging, heart pounding sex.

yeah these last few took the words out of my mouth. Momo, how could you forget the sex? It should have been on that list at least 3 times…maybe 4

Hmm… I guess “Good Wine” would make the “who looks better” argument go out the window — well with enough “good wine” anyway!

Too Mormon here for that last one; how about, I’ll substitute in Valrhona or Scharffenberger chocolate. Works for us. (We’re hitting 28 years come June!)
