Any marriage can be saved, but it always takes... three and a specific recipe for success. Take an unhappy wife, an indecisive husband, and a nonconformist psychologist.
The husband cleans himself of his mother, chops finely, seasons, powders, but especially keeps him well preserved under the thumb. The wife is taken gently, kneaded well, allowed to rise, tenderized until she achieves a docile consistency.
Take the marriage, stretch it to the limit, season it with an affair or two, to taste, adjust, test the limits well, heat it, cool it, and bring it to a constant temperature. Bake it, keep it for at least eight years. With the help of a psychotherapist, it is bound or unbound.
