Had Shania been singing “Happy Trails To You” this image might have worked for me.

Apparently, according to the NY Times, she was warbling “You’re Still The One.”

Maybe she’s onto something.

That is, if she and Trigger have been an item for the past 20 years, or are in the throes of lust two years into their union.

According to the Times article New Love: A short shelf life  researchers have determined that “wedded bliss has a limited shelf life.”

For those of you are past the 15-20 year married mark read on and revel in the validation. For the rest of you, read the article and nod in recognition of why the love had gone south.

It seems, or so say the researchers, that familiarity breeds contempt. Surprise, conversely, keeps the ardor alive. That is, I suspect, as long as the surprise doesn’t take the form of “well, love, I’m leaving you for another.”

Or in the case of Shania, hopefully while nuzzling her new husband, she makes sweet murmuring cooing noises, rather than neighs.
