2 Cards Against The Middle

A Broken Car That Needs Some Work
a: Successful marriage ~
b: car without a warranty
What: Most new cars look pretty good and will last a while without having to do much. But then over time things begin to slowly breakdown, wear out and go out of style. Likewise with a marriage, there are lots of good starts and things go good for while, but then over time, things start to wear out and need rejuvenation. But, unlike new cars that are fantastically built and come with warranties, marriage requires the individuals themselves to do most if not all of the repair work themselves.

a: Successful marriage ~
b: an elegant ship
What: "A successful marriage is like an elegant ship sailing through the waters and storms of life. The problem with all ships is that they get barnacles- ugly little unseen monsters that attach themselves to the bottom of the boat. Soon the vessel is stuck dead in the water-like the marriage that is going nowhere as the partners peacefully coexist. Little things, like the irritations of misunderstanding that come with wrong expectations, build up."

Needs Some Fertilizer
a: Successful marriage ~

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
