I love food.
I love my wife.

I can find / cook good food in many places.
I can't anymore find a good wife somewhere, elsewhere, anywhere, whatever,
she is the one.

Simple problem:
Cook your food, love your wife
And let both be a separated issue :-)

Mmmhhh! you may try to love your food and cook your wife?
However, separated issues.

Cheers
Daniel
