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 is cleansed of his mother, finely chopped, seasoned, dusted, but especially kept 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. Place in the oven, bake for at least eight years. With the help of a psychotherapist, it will be bound or unbound.
