The Coffee-Pot: Perfect Blending

We love coffee at my house! ☕️

Coffee is a fitting illustration of marriage; because while black coffee is good (and even preferable to some people, as it was to me before getting pregnant with Roo) - most people would agree that perfect coffee requires a perfect blending of the black-coffee base with some combination of milk/creamer & sugar/sweetener, just like a perfect marriage requires a perfect blending of one man & one woman into a lifelong one-flesh union.
