Glue
We all know what glue is used for. To fix things, to mend, to attach, to bond. Oddly enough, these are words we use to discuss our relationships. Each relationship is different, having different requirements, different needs. There are times when we wish to permanently join two things together. I think we all want the same thing...perfect harmony.... we want the relationship to last. We have compiled a bunch of our favorite glues and adhesives in an effort to help you figure out what you really need to make it stick. Marriage material, go for it.
