CHIPPING AWAY It’s subtle, it’s blind. It leaves reason behind. You never know it’s coming until it is there. It chips away at your marriage, 'til it's all you can bear. You can avoid it by taking care. Make sure you’re aware. Be thoughtful, attentive and kind. Talk about what’s on your mind. And if that doesn’t work--remember this: End the day with a hug and a kiss.
