Each of these lovely pages comes in two versions - one with lots of pretty detail, and one a little simpler.

[Guest Post - Enjoying the Secret Seven]( Love and Marriage ... Some thoughts on love and marriage from the younger generation. What exactly is marriage? "Marriage is when you get to keep your girl and don't have to give her back to her parents!" Eric, 6 Is it better to be single or married? "It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I'm just a kid. I don't need that kind of trouble." Will, 7 On love. Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too. Greg, 8 Why do newlyweds hold hands? They want to make sure their rings don't fall off because they paid good money for them." Gavin, 8 What about kissing? If it's your mother, you can kiss her anytime. But if it's a new person, you have to ask permission. Roger, 6 What are the secrets of a long, happy marriage? Don't forget your wife's name ... That will mess up the love. Erin, 8 How can you tell whether a couple is married? You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
