Ingredients (for a lasting marriage): Photo courtesy of Joshua Withers
Pinch of salt: the salt of the earth to symbolize wisdom and friendship
Walnuts: for laughter and humour (How do you make a Walnut laugh? You crack it up…)
Baking soda: to help us rise above the tough times
Cinnamon: adding spice of life to the marriage
Egg: to bind us together through the tough times (represented by the Amazonite)
Butter: to enhance all forms of love including self-love, paternal love, unconditional love and romantic love (represented by the rose quartz)
To Bake:
Stir together all the ingredients and bake in a warm and happy home for as long as we both shall live.
When the contents in this jar begin to spoil, it is a symbol to spend some time to refresh our marriage and refill the jar with new ingredients.
