After 57 very happy years of living with the love of my life, I have a few suggestions.
DON’T bring up some problem from the past. The past belongs in the past.
DO approach your marriage as a true partnership in which each person contributes.
DON’T, however, keep a count of who has done what.
DO say PLEASE and THANK YOU! Good manners should not just be extended to strangers.
DO Thank God that your partner is spending his/her life with you and your various shortcomings.
DON’T disagree in public. Disagreements should be addressed in private.
DO give compliments. Your partner can’t read your mind. Tell him/her when they’ve done something praiseworthy.
DO remain faithful. You made a promise.
DO agree on the values you will teach and expect from your children.
DO remember that wonderful, true saying, “A happy wife means a happy life!”
DON’T criticize your partner. You’re not perfect either.
DO EXPRESS YOUR LOVE THROUGHOUT YOUR MARRIAGE!
