My Advice to You

Wear sunscreen. {Anyone else remember that song?}

Yesterday my wonderful husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary. It was low key, but lovely with a wonderful dinner at the Macaroni Grill {sans bebe} Every once in awhile it's nice to have a grown up dinner. Anyways, I do not claim to be an expert at marriage or relationships; perhaps in another 25 years ask me again, but for now, I thought I'd share some things I've learned so far.

Never be afraid to be silly!

 

"Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly" -Rose Franken

A happy marriage doesn't mean you have to spend every moment together, but when you are together, be present.

"A long marriage is two people trying to dance a duet and two solos at the same time."  -Anne Taylor Fleming

Marriage isn't a competition; it's a partnership. Sometimes you have to give a little.

What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility.  ~George Levinger

And one final piece of advice: Happy wife, Happy life!

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.  ~Mignon McLaughlin
