Marriage Novel

 I found this awesome website, this morning. 

Have you ever met someone, once, and then you didn't really think much about them again unless the man I married, mentioned them. 

Now, what's a little bit annoying to me is... all the things I would really admire and appreciate about people... are precisely the things my husband didn't mention.

If I had known that the 'Clear Lake' encounter was such a possibility of faith- inspired Biblical parallels of like-mindedness, regarding marriage, I would have tried to fetch out a few tips on that longevity.

I didn't really know whom I was meeting and it was a 'family time' for them so I didn't think much about the 'planned, chance encounter?'

For anyone, who hasn't read my novel, The Orchard Walk- El Dueck, they may not know that The Winery Inn is the main building on the crudely drawn site map, that I have in my Dauphin home, in my bedroom. I did display it at McNally Robinson, in May, 2013. I feel my writing is much better than my 'site map.' These pillow cases are my 'pillow talk' counseling inventory items. 

 

You know the saying..,

'Keep it real,' so I did.

These pillow cases, all made by Elfrieda, are part of my novel inventory.

So, The Winery Inn, in my fictional novel, hosts weddings, and any events that would be 'marriage and family based.'

I used creative license to 'lighten up' on the more difficult aspects of marriage by naming the cabins for WWII flower- class warships. Because many marriages have too much warring in them, it is best to think of foundational marital, covenantal commitments in such a large project. 

I bought 'Strike the Original Match' many, many, years ago. Originally published, when I was 17 years old, I was already looking for that blueprint of longevity.

To understand my novel, you have to understand allegory, history, and Biblical corollory.

Two characters, in my novel, who 'work at' the Winery Inn, are a divorced couple who don't have new partners. The woman's name is Abbey and that is, definitely, allegory, for the church. Abbey has a lovely peacefulness and a quiet, 'Class, not brash' character. Her husband is somewhat surly, intelligent, rebelling against organized religion and, yet, he has business as his main thrust and... you never know who rents out The Winery Inn in The Orchard Walk.
