Thanks for all your comments to yesterday’s blog. Great stuff!
The following are too big for the fridge, but great advice nonetheless.
First of all, from the late, great syndicated advice columnist Ann Landers (1918-2002):
12 RULES FOR A HAPPY MARRIAGE
1. Never both be angry at once.
2. Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire.
3. Yield to the wishes of the others as an exercise in self-discipline if you can’t think of a better reason.
4. If you have a choice between making yourself or your mate look good - choose your mate.
5. If you feel you must criticize, do so lovingly.
6. Never bring up a mistake of the past.
7. Neglect the whole world rather than each other.
8. Never let the day end without saying at least one complimentary thing to your life’s partner.
9. Never meet without an affectionate welcome.
10. Never go to bed mad.
11. When you’ve made a mistake, talk it out and ask for forgiveness.
12. Remember, it takes two to make an argument. The one who is wrong is the one who will be doing most of the talking.
