What do you want from a Metaphor: #6

Metaphors work best

6.    When there is an activity that accom­pa­nies it.

Food you eat, things you plant, water you spill out. These allow the image to settle in more deeply.

The more common the images, the more they will be rein­forced in our daily lives.  The more they’re rein­forced in our daily lives, the greater the meaninng they will have in our marriages.

Tip: choose a metaphor to describe your love that can be rein­forced with a small activity. Use it in your wedding cere­mony. For 3 weeks after­wards, do the action and think of the way you love one another. There you are, with your love for one another sealed into the sharing of bread, for the rest of your life.
